Ellsworth's Adopted!

Yesterday Ellsworth took a trip with us to meet up with applicants who were interested in adopting him. They adopted another Rat Terrier from New Rattitude a couple years ago and when they saw sweet Ellsworth posted on Facebook they wanted to add to their family. 

At first Ells was pretty keyed up from the car ride and then when we got out of the car he saw a squirrel which revved him up even more. He was being too obnoxious to meet their dog Sullivan face to face so instead we just walked with them and Sully until both dogs could relax enough to forget about each other. Then after a couple of butt sniffs they calmed down and decided they could hang out together without stressing out. 

So we went into a fenced dog park area that was luckily empty and both dogs got a chance to play off leash. At first they both did their own thing but by the end of the visit Ells was rolling around in the grass and trying to initiate play with Sullivan. Good boy Ells! Here are some photos from their time in the park: 

Ellsworth is still pretty obsessed with his football

Sullivan is checking with the humans for treats - or maybe checking to see why this weird dog won't put his football down

Still with the football

Cute Sullivan

Ahhhh, sunshine

All loaded up for the drive back home

It didn't take long for him to conk out after his big adventure

So the paperwork is now being done to finalize the adoption. Ellsworth's new name will be Stephen or Stevie and he'll be moving to his home in Oregon in a couple weeks. 

We will miss this big, beautiful, sweet boy but are super happy that he found such a stellar home.
