Ella’s balls

There are many different ways to feel about balls.

Some love them,

some are indifferent,

some prefer ropes,

some try to devour or destroy them on sight

and some insist on taking them along everywhere they go.

Within this last group, there are the Ballaholics, the Ball Junkies and, occasionally,  you may even happen upon a

Like many other conditions, ball monsterdation has a strong hereditary component.

All of the above glossy espresso-brown dogs are actually one in the same.  Ella is 100% American Pit Ball Terrier.

Her person says

Ella is so ball obsessed, and obsessed with playing fetch, that while I’m walking and working out on my treadmill, she has figured out that if she drops the ball behind me while I’m on the treadmill, it will fly off the back of the treadmill and she has an instant fetch partner.  She’ll do anything for a ball.  ANYTHING.
Oh, and cheeseballs too.

Ella’s bat ears are her trademark.  They are what initially got us to adopt her.  My son, 9 years old at the time, was obsessed with jazz singer, Ella Fitzgerald.  I allowed him to name her.
Her official name is Ella Fitzgerald, but she has 838494 nicknames, and the one that we use the most is Ella Smella.

Ella is also who inspired us to start our leash/collar business, Ella’s Lead.  www.ellaslead.com
