Our annoying neighbors who watch TV outside were gone last night so we finally got to have fire pit night again. 🐾🐾 up. Don’t I look cool?!

Chomping my Best Bully Sticks by the fire. Doesn’t get any better than this.

Pro tip: asking for cuddles and pets when you’re wet from playing with the hose is more fun than regular, dry ones.

Ha! Regular vet lady said I looked fat but I actually had lost weight. So I made her give me a treat. Victory for Ella.

12 years ago I was starting agility classes. Today the vet is talking to me about a shot for osteoarthritis. How times change furiends, how the times have changed.

Weight management? Who the dog does little person thinks needs this?! Certainly no one in THIS house.

Another day, another reason to avoid people at all costs.

Last night with my whole liver. Surgeon vet is giving me a lobectomy thing tomorrow. So let’s all admire my not stitched up belly one last time.

Study here with an Ella Pupdate: Surgeon vet just called and said Ella did good in her surgery and they got the whole tumor out.

I’m back! I’m full of staples and wearing this ugly thing, but at least it comes with bullysticks!

Grams Brenda Leyndyke they just put kibble in it?! Pretty sure that’s illegal…

Finally out of the surgical suit and feeling the sweet breeze on my skins. It’s gonna take forever for all my hairs to grow back tho!

I don’t mean to brag but I’m recovering from getting part of my liver cut out like a champ. Maybe the best anyone has ever recovered from surgery of all time. I wouldn’t be surprised if they made a lifetime movie about me. “Staples and Swagger: the Ella story”

Ella the Dog 🐶 You are an inspiration and very gorgeous ✌🏻🩵🐾

I like bully sticks in all shapes. Study apparently is confused.

Ella the Dog 🐶 I wouldn't be surprised either. You have the look of a dog with superior healing capacity.

Thank you flomolinaro ♥️🐾🌻 for the very appropriate, yummy recovery cookies. You are the most thoughtful. ❤️🐾 And yeah, I shared with Study.

Don’t know who was more confused: Study or this squirrel. 1/10 for yard protection skills. 1 point only because he did eventually go after it once it moved.
