Dog Days of Summer

Well, the adaptation to being a two dog family continues. Ella, the four month-old Great Dane adopted from the animal shelter is trying to make friends with Zoe, the older (not necessarily wiser) Schnauzer. It is odd to see this puppy initiate play with the older but smaller dog. I don't know why, but it reminds me of Ellie Mae Clampett trying to get Ms. Hathaway to go along with some hare-brained idea (or hair-brained depending on your dialect). As Ella woofs at Zoe with her charming Danish accent and as Zoe tries valiantly to stay aloof I just encourage Zoe to make an impression on Ella while she has a chance and not cave so easily to Mr Drysdale either.
