More: Ellie is actually quite nervous around water, but once she’s in, she’s hard to get out! She’s 6 years old and is the big sister to a 1 year old Shorkie, Waldo. She’s kind of the mom to Waldo and our cat, Huck, because when those two start playing and get too loud, she’s quick to bark and tell them enough is enough. She also loves to go for walks, hikes, play in the snow, and she’s a sucker for a mud puddle.
