Best Friends Forever

This is how it usually starts, Ella spots one of Dakota's toys or tennis balls and runs to find her doggie. She then drops it to the dog and they start their own little game of Catch me if you can! Dakota will grab the toy and run around the house with Ella in close pursuit after her. Stop, wait for me!
Then, Ella follows her upstairs where they both take a little break, usually Ella will hug/tackle Dakota and they will start all over again!


(P.S.-Check out Ella's new "Ugg" boots for the winter and no they are not real, do you think I would really buy her real Ugg boots for Charlotte?? But she does look insanely cute in her new pink boots!)
There is a such a special bond between these two. I don't think Ella could love a "human sibling" anymore than she loves her "furry sister." Right when she wakes in the morning until she goes to sleep, she runs around looking for Dakota, says "doggie" 200 times a day, points out all the other doggies on a walk and feeds her lots of food.
She also loves to come up and hug Dakota but she hasn't quite mastered "gentle" yet so sometimes it is more like a tackle! Mike and I were just saying tonight that she never runs up to us to just give us a hug, only her best bud Dakota! And, Dakota will have her moments when she doesn't want Ella pulling her ears or fur but most of the time, she just endures it. I mean it's a pretty good trade off for all the extra food Dakota is getting these days and she is sure to sit right next to Ella during meal or snack time. I have the leash all ready, let's go for a walk!
Besides, hanging with her best doggie, we had such a fun and finally healthy week! Mike had off a couple days for Veteran's Day and the weather could not have been better so we took advantage of it and spent a lot of time outdoors.
One thing I love about Charlotte is all the parks and playgrounds that are so close to us. We went to a different park everyday and they are all so much fun!
Enjoying the sunshine and beautiful fall colors!
Picking leaves out of the tree with Daddy!

On Saturday afternoon, we got together with our neighbors to watch the VT/UNC game. Tracey went to UNC so it was a little bit divided but luckily VT pulled through with the victory! Ella was all decked out in her VT gear including socks but after the win, we put Allie's Rutgers jersey on and she looked so adorable, we had to post this picture. I think it is time for this one to get a Virginia Tech jersey of her own!
Put me in coach, I'm ready to play...today...
