Popular Post Dempsy's Mom Posted February 28, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted February 28, 2017 This picture was taken the day that Dempsy and I picked Elsie up at the pound in Minneapolis in 2013. She looks a little skeptical of her future. She had no idea that she would be traveling to a South Dakota farm. They told us that she originally came from Georgia. She was in the system for awhile. This was taken last year around Christmas. Her gotcha day is officially March 2nd, but we will be gone, so Elsie has been receiving loves all week long. She is a dog that can control me with her eyes. She tells me everything that she is thinking just by her look. I can tell when she's mad, disgusted, happy or when it's potty time, walk time, feed me time, bedtime. She sets me up with those eyes and plays games with me - like the many times she pretends she going to jump up on the couch to sit with me, I get all excited and all of a sudden she pivots on her fanny and jumps up on the chair with Jim. Then she glances at me with those laughing, mischievous eyes. She's something. Dempsy dearly loves his little sister and admirers her hunting skills. It is so cute to see them together. So anyway Elsie has been with us 4 fun years. 19 Quote Elsie, Max, Meeko & Lori Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lupinegirl Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Aww. Hard to believe anyone could pass her up. She's a beauty. This has been a pretty special week for pups, since Nikki's gotcha day anniversary was just couple of days ago. February 26th. He's been with me an even dozen years. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dempsy's Mom Posted March 10, 2017 Author Share Posted March 10, 2017 Thank you all. Elsie had to spend her gotcha day at the kennel. Her and Demps were happy to see me after a week, but their happiness soon turned into payback - I was snubbed for a while. 5 Quote Elsie, Max, Meeko & Lori Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
