    It feels like only a few weeks ago that we were packing away cushions, keeping shoes on book shelves and locking tea towels in kitchen cupboards. Suddenly my little girl is showing signs of being a big grown up! I can't believe how she's suddenly emerging from this demon teenager into a beautiful dog!

    For all of those with a nightmare teenager, Ella is nearly 14 months and is now relatively safe around our house, even when the lounge looks like this:

    She spends her time doing this:

    I'm hoping the day Millie hits the teenager stage is far away, one can only hope... The joy I look forward to have to guard my daughters room with her toys... At least you show me that there is a light in the end of the tunnel. Gorgeous dog!

    She's a gorgeous girl, very contented looking - you've obviously done something right :) Can't wait to get my little Molly home and prepare for all the mayhem :rolleyes:

    She even brings her toys to Nathan and tries to put them into his hands! Even more amazing, if he grabs the toy (usually a rope for tug) and pulls it, she drops it immediately! :inlove:

    Haha yep! I'm sure there will be many more to come! :D

    What a beautiful picture of Ella on the sofa.

    I'm so looking forward to untying my long curtains - nearly a whole year they've been tied out of Ripple's reach (every time I try he nearly pulls the curtain rail down :rolleyes:), and the tea towels, and the kitchen drawer handles - and so many other things -sigh.

    Well done Ella :).

    I think this post should be a 'sticky' to give hope to all the distressed teenager puppy owners :D She looks adorable, love the nose.

    You have worked very hard with Ella and now you are reaping the rewards. Hard work pays.
