This is Ella, hunk o’ great dane love.
With us from the beginning.
When we had no family, she became our family… and now she runs our family.
Protecting us, loving us, GROWING with us.
She was there when we brought back strange bundles from the hospital.
Bundles who went from keeping her up at night to pulling on her ears.
She is happy to see us whether we are coming back from the grocery store or coming back from months away in far off places.
She is our sentinel, always watching. Vigilant, protective and serious… except when she’s not.
Today we ran around like puppies and chased frogs in the garden.

You can see more photos of Miss Ella-the-cheekiest-dane-in-the-world right here. [...]
