Birthday/ Gottcha days...

   Today August 9th 2012 is sister Ellie Mae's Birthday/ Gottcha day, it was four years ago today the she came to be with us If you have a moment I will tell you how this came to be.....
  Dad and his Mom my Grandma (human) were down stairs very early drinking coffee, well Dad needed a refill on his coffee so up stairs to the kitchen they came Dad looked out the big glass door onto the deck and there stood a very very skinny Basset hound looking in the door...... Dad being the Basset lover he is went outside to check her out, she did have a collar but no tag and she was very hungry and thirsty. So Dad and Grandma got her some food and water they set the bowls on the deck and this skinny hound went head long into the food and water!!! 
   Dad went back in the house and got Mom and told her about the hound on the deck, Mom came down and took a look and that was that. A call to the vet and Ellie was on her way for a check up and a check for a chip.... Health was good (skinny but fine) and no micro chip.... An add was put in the local paper and after a week Ellie Mae became an official member of the family!!!
   After four years Ellie is no longer skinny and she has really fit in so very well here at home I am so happy she is here with us....
  As some of you know my sister Cindy Lou left us for the Rainbow bridge on May 23rd of this year  we all miss her but I think Ellie Mae misses her the most. But enough of that we are getting ready for one heck of a party after work today!!!!  So if you would send a Birthday Gottcha day wish Ellie Mae's way!!!!
