Don’t ever let down your guard

Ella is one of the sweetest, snuggliest dogs you’ll ever meet. She’s also one of the most devilish. She’ll come up and plop half her body on top of you on the couch, seemingly for some affection…and when you look closer you’ll see she’s got a lead pencil in her mouth and really just came over to show off how slick she is.

But it’s the stuffed animals who really have to be careful of Ella’s charming yet sociopathic ways for in their case it truly is a life or death situation.

Case in point.

At my parents’ house, many of my old stuffed animals are still displayed on the bookshelves of my old room. Ella immediately took several of them down off the shelves, arranged them in a pile, and slept up against them. How cute is that??

Just when she had all the animals in the house assured of her sweetness, she turned. Poor bear never saw it coming:

Alas, Ella didn’t even go about it humanely and put him out of his misery, she had to torture the poor thing by maiming his leg and biting off his nose.



Noseless bear

Noseless, but with snout still intact, hopefully no one notices.

About

My name is Tricia Mangan, and I live in New York City with my energizer puppy Ella. I’ve had the utterly exhausting gift of raising Ella on my own since she was 8 weeks old. Growing Up With Pup chronicles our journey together - the laughter (think puppy + toilet paper), the tears (oh the shoes that have died…), and the endless love and messes.
