Gail and Ellie after one of our many snow storms of the winter of 2001.   Ellie has also taken up Buddhism and perfected a pretty good "Touching the Earth" mudra.

                                 Ellie's baby picture

She was a 3 lb. high energy kitten.

That look means trouble!

Ellie as a more dignified kitten

Please note that she finally

did grow into her ears.

Ellie as an uncooperative  Christmas cat.  We call those "helicopter" ears and it means "this activity is not on my day's agenda."

No helicopter ears but she is still not sure about this stupid gorilla.   Some of you may

have seen this on Valentine's Day 1999, but we rerun it as a classic.

Below:  Ellie showing off Christmas 2004     Below Right: Ellie has started Ellora Pear Company, and she wants you to know that her spies in Southern Oregon have discovered that Harry and David are dogs, so don't buy pears from them.  If you are really good next year, you might get a box of pears from her.
