Ellie's 2nd day in "foster"

Flashback to March 2014

Dear Auntie Melissa & Uncle Scott,

I have just returned from my morning walk with my new friend Bear and found Spook the Cat sitting in the window waiting for us so Auntie Jan took me up to the window and made me sit for a while until I got bored staring at him...he's good - he can outstare me and when I went up to say hello to him yesterday he did not back away...hmmmm I though cats were supposed to run!! Mind you he is rather large - looks as if he swallowed a small dog so best mind my P's n Q's around him ! When Auntie told me to leave him I was a good girl and walked straight back to my place next to the armchair where Uncle Franklin sits. 

I went over and was introduced to Uncle Johnny the 5 purple heart war vet.. who loves me and invited me to sit on his porch and WOW !! he has 13 cats he looks after... Cinder the ginger one was in the window watching me but there was a cute kitten who decided to come over to see me but ran off when  I stood up.. I watched him go over to the neighbours garden and climb a tree but was on a loose lead after being told 'leave it' with a hand held up.. I kept watch though til he came back over to Johnny's safe and sound... I think I may  have had pups in the past as he brought out the Mother worrying about her kids in me.. I enjoyed watching the kittens play together. 
Then we went home and I have secured the space next to and behind  Uncle Franklins armchair as 'my spot'  though also lie down near Bear as well to watch tv.

I have tried to tell Bear I am now Boss but Auntie told me that was incredibly bad manners and would not tolerate that behaviour so I suspect 'she' is the Boss here as she is the one who says no to me and then guides me back to good manners.. ah well as long as its a woman in charge I guess I can live with that lol
Last night Bear volunteered to sleep in the living room with me though I was put in that cage so that Spook could use his litter tray in peace.. and well I forgot myself and Howled !!   Uncle Franklin was in bed and when Jan checked he said he could not hear me.. so I howled louder for him... There was a "HELL NO!" but am unsure whether it was from Uncle Franklin or Spook the Cat !!!!

However Spook decided HE would sleep with Bear and I was to be let into their bedroom so that  they could all get some sleep, though Auntie Jan  was not amused to climb into bed after  her film finished and find me in her side with head on pillow snoring rapturously in time with Uncle Franklin.....lol.... I was relegated to the pillow on the floor by her side and I slept there all night and let them go the the bathroom unescorted during the night though wagged my tail in delight when they climbed back over me.

I have taken my pills like a good girl and am now lying down behind the computer chair while Auntie types ...

Oh yes I nearly forgot.. on last nights walk I saw BUNNIES !! I wanted to chase after them but Uncle Franklin said no he was not  chasing bunnies with me as would ruin his reputation...:(

I am having a lovely time here Auntie Melissa, lots of things to watch from our porch ... and I can tell Uncle Franklin and    Auntie Jan love me already .

I will write again with the next little adventure I    have , thank you so much for giving me a second chance at life Auntie Melissa and Uncle Scot...my tail wags now.

Much love, sloppy kisses and paw shakes

Nellie XX

P.S. Auntie Jan says she will write to you seperately
