Ellie Mae is way too spoiled!

For the first few weeks after we brought Ellie Mae home, I would pick her up and let her nap on the footrest of the recliner after playing. As she's gotten bigger, we've been making her nap more in her crate so that she's comfortable in it. That and her weight has been too much for the footrest to stay out without dumping her into the floor.

So last night, the wife and I were catching up on some shows that we recorded on the DVR. Ellie was bouncing around in the floor with her plethora of toys when she disappeared from my sight. The next thing I know, she's jumped onto the footrest of the recliner and pulled it down to the ground with her 23ish pound girth and is looking up at me with her deer antler in her mouth. Well she proceeds to climb her way up the footrest and make herself at home with her deer antler in my lap and partially on the footrest for the next 2 hours. It brought back those early memories.

First, I applaud your choice of names.. All dog's named 'Ellie Mae' turn out awesome! (I have an non-EB 'Ellie Mae Bumpus Clampett').

Second, Give it a few more months... Its less cute when 60lb's of wrinkles jumps into your lap unexpected

This is where we are now, the sneak attach HI DAD from Bacon usually results in bruising and bleeding, but he doesn't know any better and we love him just the way he is.

I'm well aware of the 60lb factor in the not so distant future. Or last Bully, an OEB, was right around 60-65lbs and she didn't hesitate to plop down in our laps. I guess I'm "broken in."
