We adopted Elle (we call her Ellie) at the SPCA last summer (2004). We met her at the Farmer's market and she was the last of 5 or 6 pit bull sisters to be adopted. We are very happy that she waited for us. She is a joy to have in the family. She loves people and showers all that she meets with kisses. She also loves other dogs and looks forward to playing with new friends. We have two cats in our family and Elle is a good sport with them as well.

Her favorite activities include riding in the car and taking walks in the woods behind our house. It took her a while to appreciate swimming, but now this is also one of her favorite things to do.
