Welcome Elli to the RV family

[Neal]

Elli did amazing on her two flights. I of course kept her awake prior so she passed out for the flights. No potty issues and glad airports now have animal relief areas which is a huge help. Designed for service dogs but all dogs can use them.

Elli did a full inspection of the coach and passed out shortly after. We got home at around 11 PM. She has been an amazing pup. She is fearless and determined.

She loved all the attention in the airport and I have to say she was quite the chic magnet. I’m considering a few more flights while she’s a puppy [emoji16]

She’s passed out in her crate now. Putting one of my t-shirts in the airline carrier and crates has been key. She takes right to it. Tomorrow is our first ride in the MH as we head to Sedona for a 3-4 hour trip depending on stops required. She’ll ride in the airline carrier for both of our safety.

Wonderful pup but I am one tired camper!!

Congratulations!!!!! She looks like such a sweetie! Good training the first year is work but pays off - there are still some areas where I did not succeed with Buly - he still feeds Daisy from the table and lets her drink water from his glass! Oh well.........?

Elli,

You're in phenomenal company. Other than a little behavioral coaching...you're gonna find your life is going to be like being on a permanent Vacation. Enjoy every sight, sound and smell. It's okay...Neal is very trainable. You'll have him behaving just like you want in no time

I raise a water bowl...cheers!!! Here's to Elli!!! Welcome and have a long, healthy, and happy life!!

(Make sure you don't get caught stealing the pop tarts)

Nice looking pup! I'm sure you'll have a lot of great hikes and adventures together. Congrats on dipping your toes into the water again once you were ready.

Goodness gracious she has grown. There aren’t any steroids in those pop tarts are there? Beautiful pup.

Many of you know I lost Sam earlier this year and we had a very special connection. I wasn't sure I could ever find that again so I felt I was done with fur companions. At times I explored breeders and in late summer I learned of a litter that was coming and put a deposit for a puppy. I got the call while at the Balloon Fiesta my new baby girl was born. This past Friday, December 6th, ironically Sam's birthday, I arrived at the breeder flying in from AZ to meet this new member of my family and the RV family. Introducing Elli. She's an 8 week old female yellow lab. We hid out in a hotel Friday to Monday to attend my mother's surprise 80th birthday party as my mother didn't know I was coming, my family didn't know of the surprise I had for everyone. After dinner I snuck her in to the restaurant and the entire restaurant came to greet her. It was an amazing moment. She's been an amazing puppy so far, immediately attaching to me. I could not be happier in every aspect. I'm excited for our new future together RVing and exploring as Sam and I enjoyed so much.

Meet Elli
