    Joan,
    As soon as I received the update to your blog, I opened it and saw the three bowls!
    I thought, that's where she's been, she has been puppy hunting!
    Am I right?
    Ella has some new friends?

    Does Ella have a new baby sister/brother puppy? This is too suspenseful, do tell.

    The big bowl is for water, so I'm guessing the third bowl is for a new pup and you are too busy to write about it ;) How do I know this, because we just adopted a rescue and all I have time for is puppy. Glad to see Ella is fine!!!

    Ella is adorable. And I love the rattan bone rug. So cute! I was just shopping for new dog bowls yesterday as I broke one of Gypsy's and she is currently using a rather expensive Williams Sonoma bowl. So I am guessing there is going to be an addition to the family?? :) (Also, I think I wrote you a few years back when I first got our dog, a rescue dog that my son brought home. After having just bought a new sofa and chair, my initial instinct was "no dogs in the house." Well, I guess, I don't have to tell you who is the biggest fan of our dog Gypsy. She has won my heart. And I have you to thank, in part. Although my home is not nearly as beautiful as yours, I thought of your home and Ella, and thought, "If 'For the Love of a House' can have a dog and still keep a beautiful home, then so can I. So, thank you and Ella! She's a sweetie!

    This reminds me of when I was a child, waiting and wondering what was hidden inside the wrapped packages. You simply cannot make us wait all the way to Christmas!!
