The Girls

Ali is about 8 months, but I believe she has no clue she's a dog.  She follows Ella around, and wants in on all the action.  If Ella's on my knee or giving me a hug, the dog tries to jump up on the other knee.  If I'm scolding Ella, Ali will sit loyally next to her and the two of them will look at each other like "this lady is crazy."  Ali goes outside, Ella follows and visa versa.  Ali has her own ball and has learned to play fetch, but if Ella is kicking around the soccer ball, the dog is right there trying to take it away.  It's cute for the most part, but every once in a while, Ali will nip at the soccer ball in excitement and miss...

Today, Ella got a little teeth to the thigh as they were running around.  Accidental and outside the initial shock/cry, they were back at it...

Someone needs to learn how to share... and it's not Ella:

And this looks scarier than it is... Ali is super sweet, my camera just caught her mid-bark.  She wasn't trying to bite, really.
