If Ella is laying next to me on the couch and I'm talking to her, she'll bury her face real fast under her paws. Then she'll look up at me when I'm not talking, but as soon as I look at her and start talking again, she hides her face again.
Ella, too, is ball obsessed. As soon as ANYONE walks into my house, she has to go get her ball and chomp on it and run up to them.
If you've ever seen the movie, "Spanglish", well, Ella IS that golden retriever that they warn not to throw the ball for. She'll play catch ALL DAY LONG.
When we throw her ball, she'll pounce on it. I call it the "bully pounce" because it's cat-like, but it's much stronger because she has the bully strength behind it. And since she's a bully and not very graceful, it's a clumsy-like movement.
She also cracks me up when she has to pop her head into the bathroom to see where I'm at. Then as soon as she sees me in there, she usually leaves and ends up leaving the bathroom door wide open. Punk.
I think it's funny that she drools profusely when I put her food dish down and make her sit and wait for a release. She's SO attentive to me, but she's DROOLING MADLY.
