Ellie Mae (Yorkshire Terrier/Toy Poodle mix)

Ellie Mae is a 12 year old Yorkshire Terrier/Toy Poodle mix. We drove 5 hours to get Ellie Mae when she was 7 weeks old. Her favorite game is chasing a ball or a stuffed toy. She also loves being at our cottage and chasing the squirrels. When we were building our cottage, we took Ellie Mae with us. Once when I couldn't find her in the cottage, I worried that someone had let her outside.

After looking all over the cottage, this is where I found her, with her head peeking out, all tucked snuggled safely inside my duffel bag where I kept extra clothes. She'd climbed inside and taken advantage of a soft place to rest. After that, my duffel bag became her favorite resting spot.
