Meet Ellie, my new little English Cream Golden Retriever.
So you might wonder the background as in: “Why did Sarah decide to get a dog?” At the end of the year, I began to seriously consider a dog. I researched options, prayed, and thought things through. We’ve loved golden retrievers, but I was specifically interested in the English Cream Golden Retriever. About three years ago, when we were in Indiana, we saw a beautiful English Cream Golden Retriever near our conference location. It was incredible!
So, I began the trek to find my dog, occasionally waffling between a regular Golden and an English Cream. You can do a Google Search on the difference, but the English Creams have European roots and are very light among several things. Selecting the name was difficult. I searched through so many options and finally settled on Ellie. The funny part is that’s one of the top 150 names on AKC’s site.
After many closed and then open doors, I found this little darling. Wow. She’s so sweet: cuddly, lively, and Miss Personality.
Love,
Sarah

Oh how sweet!! I’m so happy for you, Sarah! Ellie is a very cute name and she’s an adorable dog. She’s so small right now, aww! Very precious! Thanks for sharing – you gave me a big smile today 🙂

Thanks. She’s a cutie! Yes, small right now, but she’ll probably be up to 75 pounds ;).
WooHoo!! I was right! She is beautiful!!

Ah, she’s so cute! Congrats!
What a beautiful little thing! I am sure that she will provide hours of entertainment and companionship.
Oh, Sarah, that might be the cutest puppy I’ve ever seen! I didn’t even realize Golden Retrievers came in that lighter color. She’s adorable.
Love your puppy and welcome to the doggie mom club. Ellie is going to be spoiled rotten!
Dogs and cats make our lives full. I am happy for you Sarah!

I know; it does seem right. 😉
She is so beautiful. We have a golden also. They are wonderful dogs. I’m sure you’ll enjoy her.
Ohhhh, adorable with a capital “A”! Congratulations! So how old is she? I’ve been helping take care of my friend’s new puppy and it has been so much fun (she’s almost 5 months now and losing teeth everywhere!). I’m glad I don’t have to do the night shift! She’s a gorgeous little fluff-ball — I’ll bet you are having fun!

I am so happy for you Sarah – and what a lucky doggie little Ellie is to have you! Golden Retrievers, whatever the colour, (and however naughty) are such a joy.

What a gorgeous purebred puppy, Sarah! We hope to see many more posts about this cutie!
More puppy pics please! She’s just so adorable!

I will!
Oh my gosh, puppy Ellie is so cute! Did you pick her up at the breeder? Maybe you can do a photo shoot with the littles and Ellie. I am sure that everyone is fighting to hold Ellie. I hope that she isn’t keeping you up at night. Cannot wait for more photos of Ellie.

Yes, definitely Miss Adorable. 😉 I did pick her up at the breeder’s. I hope to do a photo sessions with all the little kids and Ellie with the red wagon. Talk about cute. She’s doing very well at night! I will post more photos.
She is so adorable!
When is Ellie getting a blog or making the primetime to Instagram? We want a puppy update!
What a cute puppy! Congratulations, Sarah! Since animals played such a significant role in your Moody series, perhaps Ellie will give you some inspiration for your new book. 🙂
Awww….so precious! Ellie is adorable!
Congratulations on your new furry family-member! 😉
Ellie is absolutely precious, and I’m so happy you’ve gotten her. I feel sure she will bring many fun moments in the days ahead. 🙂
