About a month ago I got a phone call from my Gramps Neves, we were able to spend some time just catching up which I find pretty hard to do anymore. Talking to Gramps was such a nice break. Needless to say he had a question for me so here goes the story as I have been told :)
My uncle Dave (my dad's brother) recently got married to a wonderful woman! I am so happy for them! They decided to move into her place which really doesn't have enough room for Ellie his dog to enjoy. So Gramps got the idea to call Nat and see if she would take her. Of course you all know I am a total sucker when it comes to animals. I told Gramps sure I will take her have Dave call me. Well a few weeks past and nothing from Dave. Out of the blue one random day Dave did call me we talked about Ellie had set up some arrangements for her to come to her new home in Monticello.
Patrick and CJ had been up north so we were able to work it out to pick up the boys and Ellie at the 1/2 way point which is Woodside. Right off the bat the boys just loved her. We had stopped in Moab on our way to Woodside and dropped Aubrey off for a play date at my friend Jen's house. So we pick up Aubrey and head the remaining hour home. Well can I just say it is incredible to watch animals bond with children. Aubrey took a real fast and adorable liking to Ellie. She was so cute we stopped at McDonalds for some dinner and Aubrey spent the majority of the time walking Ellie around the parking lot....Cute I tell ya.
Ellie has now offically met all 5 kids, 2 cats and JoJo our dog. She is a really great dog, JoJo was way excited to have someone to play with as I think he get's pretty lonely hanging out with boring ol' me all day. If JoJo isn't with Jim down at the Ambulance Garage then he is usually taking in the sun on the sidewalk. JoJo and Ellie seem to be best buds now which is way awesome. The kids all love her and I am enjoying having her around.
So to my dear Uncle Dave and my cousins Trent, Aly, Heala & Chad thanks for thinking of me and sharing your wonderful pal with us. We sure love her!!!
