Oh Ellie, this memorial has been difficult to write because I wanted it to be as perfect as you were. You were everything to everyone your bright life touched. You were a companion and friend to Lee who got to train you according to his wishes. You helped regulate the ever changing and evolving pack of dogs Jessi brought in for work and fun.
You were also one of the first and most stable dogs for the children in the Widdel home. You were the bird dog that even helped me shoot my first pheasant when hunting with friends. Your loss reverberates through the family, friends, pack and acquaintances of the Widdels and to even begin to think about a replacement we would need 10 different dogs to fill your collar.
