Ella

On February 9th 2007 we brought Ella home from the shelter. She was possibly 2 or 3 years old at the time and we knew she needed a princess name because she acted like one.  We choose Ella since it wasn't one of the most popular princess names and we had seen the movie "Ella Enchanted."  She was petite and very cuddly. This was the reason we took her home, she walked right into my lap and we knew she was the one. We always said she was the next best thing to a dog because she was always around people and followed you.  There were some rough times of her bothering us through the night, especially when Kelsey was a baby, but we loved her just the same and got through it.  Meghan and Dan were always kind enough to take her when we were away or going through sleepless nights with Kelsey.  She was over there so often we discussed joint custody of her.

Sadly today we had to say good-bye to Ella due to her having two tumors in her intestines and kidney failure. She was the best cat and will be remembered.

Kelsey has been really good about everything.  Tonight she said that Titus, Gypsy, and Ella will meet and play in heaven together. Thanks Kelsey for putting a child's perspective on it. They are all sharing crazy stories of our families right now.
