I love laughing with a lump in my throat! It took me a moment to realize Ellie is your pup, and not your daughter (Ellie, Emma, Ellie, Emma) Imagine my confusion...(they don't agree on their daughter's birthday...geez, I thought I was bad...)Angels, in the most unlikely forms, come into our lives just when we really need them. Happy Birthday Ellie! Hi Jess, Thank you! I love laughing with a lump in my throat!

It just made me realize that although our kids grow up so incredibly fast, our dogs do so even faster. It is so important to cherish them and remember not to let them end up being just another chore that demands our attention. Even when they barf all over the place when we are trying to rush out the door in the morning. This is such a nice tribute.

While they get less of our attentions over the years as others take precedence, sometimes we actually love them more than our human children - because they are easier. Happy Birthday Ellie!!
