Inaugural Woof - Eli


(so small), originally uploaded by theredthread.

After spending a lovely and insane 2 and half years with Angie, and Angie alone, we lost our minds and decided to get her a friend. When I saw Eli's photo up on our local no kill shelter's website, my heart melted into a puddle of goo. As you can see, he was very small and and of indeterminate breed. He somewhat resembled a racoon with the missing fur around his eyes (caused by a case of demodex mange, later resolved). At the outset, he seemed like the perfect foil for Angie's loud boisterous personality.. quiet, sleepy and submissive. This would later prove to be a total miscalculation. In the ensuing years he's proven to be more energetic and wild and independent minded than she ever has been. He's also super smart and equally adorable, so I haven't yet regretted bringing him home. He is the perfect yin to Angie's yang, and we love him just as much.
