A paragraph that tells voters something fun or interesting about the dog in the photo. Is this a NMAR dog?  If so, how long has he or she been a part of your family?  Can you share something special that we could include on our calendar if your photo wins?
We got Ellie from NMAR almost 3 years ago. She has been our dear baby since we have had her. She almost died a year ago with a twisted intestine. She survived two emergency surgeries. This little girl has an extremely lovable personality and we are forever grateful that she is in our lives. We got her just about a month after our last precious baby, Lilly died of cancer. You think that you won't have to worry about health stuff for a long time when you get a puppy (Eliie was 3 months old). We wish she was perfectly healthy, but we are so grateful that she came to us so we could give her the best care she deserves.
