New Home

Thank you for all your kind comments about my story, I've no idea why the font size varies, I'll post another story soon.

And as for the new home, it's not me but the dog my DD1 has taken in from a rescue centre.

DD admitted today that she didn't think Ella would be comfortable around the twins as they are only 3 and quite boisterous. She assumed a lot of 'managing' would be needed but she could not see poor Ella left in the kennels where she was so stressed.
 DD planned, if Ella had real problems settling in, she would ask me to take her in!

Anyway, it hasn't been a problem, it turns out that Ella is profoundly deaf, whether from birth or recently we don't know.
Ella belonged to a homeless person who lived on the streets, so she has had a hard life.

One of our rescue dogs was deaf, though we didn't know it when we adopted him. As soon as we changed from verbal commands to visual, it worked out really well. Looks like Ella has found the perfect home.

BTW I thoroughly enjoyed your story!

Thank you for not sending Ella back to the kennels and giving her a lovely cosy home. I hope she settles well with you and CHS and lesrns the intricacies of living on a boat. Life-jacket needed?

God bless your daughter for rescuing Ella. Doggie deserves a good rest of her life. Joyce
