It's a controversial one and through countless discussions, making up our minds, then back tracking and so on, we decided it was time for our sweet Ella to go on to her next adventure. She's now living in Conway, Arkansas with another family. We met them this past Sunday and they are the sweetest people with 2 children and a black lab.
We realize to some, this seems very cruel, and that is why making this decision was painful and arduous for us. We love Ella and wanted the best life for her. When we come home, it is really hard to not see her sweet face and wagging tail. The house seems so very quiet without the occasional bark outside.
She brought so much joy to our lives 3 years ago and we have wonderful memories with her and feel so lucky to have been a part of her loving life. Her spunky personality is going to be adored by her new family.
Ella, you are a beautiful dog with a loving heart, sweet face, and joyous run. We will miss you always and know you spread joy wherever you are.

Oh, Kathleen, I know how hard this decision is. We made the same decision with our Maggie 2 years ago, and while it was very difficult, it was best for her and for us. She now runs free and wild out in the country at her home in Claremore. You gave Ella everything she needed as a pup and dog. You did the right thing. Don't kill yourself with guilt. Your family and what's best for them is what matters. Your mommy instincts tell you what's right...for both. Just know that you made the right decision. I believe it.
Alyssa, you have no idea how much your words mean to us. Thanks so much!!
oh my gosh, i feel terrible for that situation!!! i'm sure that ella will be in a great place and that it's probably the right decision. xoxo
