Meet Ella Fitzgerald, also known in this household as Harry Barker. She is a rascal, delightful in many ways, but a true scamp at heart.
Even though a sturdy breed, Ella takes the wrap for a lot of things around here, Pearl Bailey sees to that! They are perfect partners in crime these two. Ella is a timorous soul, a bit afraid of her own shadow at times, so she is content in letting Pearl Bailey take the lead. It is apparent to me, however, that Ella still has not figured out that Pearl Bailey is hanging her out to dry!!
I tried to explain to Ella about yesterday’s Milk Bone caper, but she just cocked her head and stared back from that adorable face of hers (that is when I captured this shot!) I don’t think my message rang true with her.
Funny how one dog can react to you and another will remain motionless. With Pearl Bailey, I can say most anything ~ I could recite the Gettysburg Address, read her a recipe, scold her, sing to her, have a conversation of great length – and she would get it all!
With Ella, however, you just never know!
