Elsie and her "doggie"

Still not sure how I feel about this. Alan convinced me that we should at least try it out, and he really likes it. We bought Elsie one of those little backpack/harness things for her to wear. She absolutely loves it. Loves the dog, loves wearing it, every morning when she wakes up she runs to find it and puts it on. She loves the freedom that she doesn't have to hold our hand (except when crossing streets) and we love that we don't have to chase after her. I guess we'll just have to see how it goes...

Here's Elsie playing at the park. She's getting so big and independent.
