Puppy Love

Ella has decided that Ripley (or "Lippy" as she calles her) is her personal project. Aidan is pretty laid back about the whole dog thing - he could take it or leave it. Needless to say, he and Abby get along great.

For the most part, the adjustment to having the dogs back home has been on the dogs' part. They are less than thrilled with the change in dynamics.

Back when Ella and Aidan were babies, they did not move, or try to interact in any way. In other words - the dogs had the upper hand.

Enter toddlerhood.....enough said.

Ripley is the only one who tolerates the kids at all - Abby typically just runs and hides.

Ella loves to walk Ripley around the house by her "handle". Yep, that would be her collar - but to Ella, it is a "handle"!
