Ella the Airedale - wikiFido-Dog Breeds, Rescues

Ella joined our family in 2002 and is lovingly spoiled by all of us. She came from a breeder in Port Angeles, WA (Loc Aire). She is active, but fairly calm for an Airedale. Her favorite game is chase - she takes a squeaky toy and pokes at you with it (usually in the bum - Airedales are clowns, you know), until you chase after her! I swear she's laughing as she trots away!

As with many Airedales, Ella has food allergies that manifest as skin rashes, hot spots, etc., but with her prescription food (Royal Canin Duck & Potato), we seem to have that under control at last! Her special food additive is cooked white rice - she gets all excited about that nummy rice added to her dinner dish, especially when still warm!

Ella is not fond of getting wet - I don't know if that is a trait for Airedales or not! When it is raining, we have to shove her off the porch to do her business and sometimes she'll actually "fake pee" then run back up on the porch! Somehow, it's a different thing to get wet when she is running on the beach...Ella on the beach in Kingston, WA
Ella's sweater
During the windstorm our area had in Dec. 06, our electricity was out for 5 days. It got a little chilly in our house so we got a sweater for Ella to wear. It took an hour or so to get used to it, but we think she liked the warmth! It has a yellow lightening stripe on the back - for speed!
Just thought I'd add a drawing I made of Ella while learning a new program! Even as a drawing, you can tell she's thinking of what to do next!drawing of Ella

Thanks for adding the great new picture of Ella! I read through your description, and I realized that we are co-Washingtonians! That storm was a doozy, wasn't it! We lost power for 10 days, and our pug Zoey also had one of her many outfits on the whole time--actually, she does love to wear clothes, so it worked out!

Anyhow, just wanted to drop a note to say that Ella is looking fine in that sweater of hers!

It would have been fun to see Ella taking me, (Prince Whidbey), for a walk by holding my leash in her mouth.
Love Prince
