Here's what the humans have to say about me:
CHELSEA ***CONTACT LAURIE lottoson@yahoo.com***CHELSEA"--"OUR BEST FRIEND'S" STORY--CHELSEA IS AN ADORABLE, 7-8 YEAR OLD, 50 POUND, ELKHOUND MIX PUP, AND JUDGING FROM HER MARKINGS WE FEEL THERE JUST MIGHT BE A BIT OF SHEPHERD IN HER FAMILY TREE. WHATEVER HER MIX SHE IS ONE TERRIFIC LITTLE GIRL. CHELSEA AND HER BEST FRIEND JENNY'S(ALSO ON OUR SITE) WORLD WAS SHATTERED WHEN THEIR OWNER WHO HAD RAISED THESE LITTLE GIRLS SINCE THEY WERE ADORABLE, WIGGLY PUPPIES, DIED AND WE RECEIVED AN URGENT CALL ASKING FOR OUR HELP TO PLEASE FINE THESE TWO EXCEPTIONAL PUPS A HOME WHERE THEY WOULD BE LOVED AS MUCH AS THEIR OWNER LOVED THEM!!! THIS WAS A HEARTBREAKING SITUATION FOR CHELSEA & JENNY. THESE TWO PUPS AND THEIR OWNER WERE INSEPARABLE. THE GIRLS WERE THE LOVE OF THEIR OWNER'S LIFE AND THEIR OWNER TOOK GREAT PRIDE IN HIS TWO COMPANIONS. THROUGH THE YEARS HE TRANSFORMED THESE PLAYFUL, BOUNCY, PUPPIES INTO LOVING, HAPPY, GIRLS. WHEN WE FIRST MET CHELSEA & JENNY WE WALKED OVER TO THEM, SPOKE SOFTLY AND GAVE THEM A PAT, THEY BOTH LIFTED THEIR BEAUTIFUL HEADS, THEIR TAILS BEGAN TO WAG EVER SO SLIGHTLY, AS IF THEY WERE SAYING "PLEASE HELP US". FATE GAVE US CHELSEA & JENNY THAT DAY, A WONDERFUL GIFT. IT IS OFTEN SAID THAT THE SOUL CAN BE SEEN IN THE EYES AND THESE PUP'S EYES DO TELL A STORY OF TWO PUPS THAT HAD BEEN TRUE LOVING COMPANIONS TO THEIR OWNER ALL THEIR LIVES, THESE GIRLS HAD DEVOTED THEIR LIFE TO THEIR OWNER. WE MADE A PROMISE TO THESE TWO PUPS THE FIRST DAY WE MET THEM, WE PROMISED THEM A GREAT NEW HOME, A GREAT LIFE, THEY DESERVE NOTHING LESS. ***CHELSEA*** DON'T PLAN ON KEEPING YOUR HEART THE FIRST TIME YOU SEE CHELSEA BECAUSE WITHIN MINUTES SHE WILL STEAL IT. HER FACE IS JUST GORGEOUS WITH A TRUE "LOVE ME" EXPRESSION(IT IS IMPOSSIBLE NOT TO). HER EYES WILL MAKE YOU MELT, THEY ARE LARGE, A GLEAMING, DARK, RICH, CHESTNUT COLOR. HER COAT, ONE OF HER MOST OUTSTANDING FEATURES IS CUDDLE SOFT, A COMBINATION OF GORGEOUS COLORS, DOVE GRAY, WARM GOLD AND HER FACE IS ACCENTED WITH A JET BLACK MASK TRUE TO THE ELKHOUND BREED. JUST A "SHOW STOPPING" LITTLE GIRL BUT HER TRUE BEAUTY IS HER HEART AND SPIRIT. CHELSEA IS THE ULTIMATE COMPANION. SHE IS GENTLE, LOVING AND AS AFFECTIONATE A PUP AS YOU COULD EVER HOPE TO FIND. SHE IS A "CUDDLER" AND WHAT WE CALL A SOFT DOG. SHE WILL COME AND SIT AS CLOSE TO YOU AS SHE CAN GET, REST HER HEAD IN YOUR LAP, LOOK AT YOU WITH THOSE EYES ASKING FOR A PAT OR A RUB WHICH SHE ADORES. SHE WILL SNUGGLE IN, CLOSE HER EYES WITH SWEET SATISFACTION KNOWING SHE IS WITH THE PERSON SHE LOVES MOST IN THE WORLD--YOU!!! BEING WITH A FAMILY WHO LOVES HER IS THE ONLY LIFE SHE HAS EVER KNOWN, THE LIFE SHE DESERVES TO KNOW AGAIN. THIS GENTLE LADY WOULD FIT INTO ANY FAMILIES LIFE STYLE. SHE NEVER MEETS A STRANGER, AND LOVES EVERYONE SHE MEETS. SHE ALSO DELIGHTS IN THE COMPANY OF OTHER DOGS JUST A NEW BEST BUDDY FOR CHELSEA TO PLAY WITH. WHATEVER YOUR DAY CALLED FOR IS FINE WITH CHELSEA JUST TAKE HER ALONG, IF SHE IS WITH YOU SHE'S HAPPY. SHE LOVES EARLY MORNING OR LATE AFTERNOON WALKS, GENTLE, SLOW AND EASY AS SHE WALKS BEAUTIFULLY ON LEAD. SHE IS ALSO A VERY ALERT PUP, AWEAR OF HER SURROUNDINGS, A BREEZE TO TRAIN AS SHE DELIGHTS IN PLEASING THOSE SHE LOVES. AT DAY'S END WHEN CHELSEA COMES INTO HER HOME SHE CONTINUES TO SHINE, HOUSE TRAINED, WITH BEAUTIFUL MANNERS, RESPECTFUL OF HER SURROUNDINGS A JOY TO BE AROUND. YOU WILL FIND CHELSEA CURLED UP AT YOUR FEET, NAPPING, CONTENT AND HAPPY JUST BEING WITH YOU. AT BEDTIME YOU WILL FIND CHELSEA ALL SNUGGLED IN HER BIG FLUFFY BED JUST AS LONG AS IT'S CLOSE TO YOUR BED. THESE TWO "BEST FRIENDS" CHELSEA & JENNY ARE TIED TOGETHER AT THE HEARTSTRINGS AND TRULY DESERVE TO LIVE THE REST OF THEIR LIFE TOGETHER IF POSSIBLE HOWEVER, WE KNOW THAT SOMETIMES KEEPING TWO PUPS TOGETHER IS NOT POSSIBLE AND WE TRULY FEEL IF SEPARATED THAT EACH PUP WOULD THRIVE IN A NEW HOME WITH THEIR FAMILY.THESE GIRLS ONLY HAVE ONE REQUEST AND THEIR EYES TOLD US THIS THE FIRST TIME WE SAW THEM. THEY WANT A FAMILY, TO BE SOMEONE'S CHERISHED COMPANIONS, TO BE A PART OF SOMEONE'S LIFE AGAIN. THEY WANT TO BE LOVED AS DEEPLY AS THEY LOVE. IF YOU ARE HOPING TO ADD TO YOUR LIFE ONE PUP OR TWO WHO ARE THE ULTIMATE FAMILY COMPANION, LOVING, GENTLE, KIND GIRLS WITH BEAUTIFUL HEARTS AND SPIRITS, PUPS WHO WILL DEVOTE THEIR LIFE TO THEIR FAMILY THEN LOOK NO FURTHER YOU'VE FOUND CHELSEA & JENNY. ***JUST SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT---IN OUR OPINION THESE TWO "BEST FRIENDS" ARE DEVOTED TO EACH OTHER AND TRULY TWO IS AS EASY AS ONE. THEY DO EVERYTHING TOGETHER, EAT TOGETHER, SLEEP TOGETHER, PLAY TOGETHER, THEY WILL KEEP EACH OTHER COMPANY AND YOU WON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT A LONELY DOG WHEN YOU ARE AWAY. IF YOU HAVE ROOM IN YOUR HEART TO MAKE THESE GENTLE SOULS A PART OF YOUR LIFE YOU WILL BE REWARDED EVERY DAY THEY ARE WITH YOU WITH TAIL WAGS, WARM GENTLE KISSES AND PUPS WHO EVERY TIME THEY LOOK AT YOU WILL SEEM TO HAVE A LOOK ON THEIR FACE THAT SAYS "THANK YOU FOR LOVING US".
