Our family adopted a slightly chubby beagle in January 2008.  He goes by the name of Ellway and he turned 8 years old in January.  We have always wanted to send an update but it unfortunately slipped our minds ...
 

The first few months with our new companion were a bit rocky since he had been in numerous shelters for 6 months and he was a little anxious around us.  But once he warmed up to us, he has been a wonderful dog.  He's good with other dogs, especially big ones, and he enjoys playing with our 1 year old cat, Snowball.  Considering he's a beagle, he has strong hunting instincts, especially when he sees raccoons, rabbits, stray cats and, well, the mailman.  The whole neighbourhood has met him through his loud, endless howls and he's very friendly towards strangers, especially when we take him for walks.

As much as he loves taking walks, he is a very big fan of car rides, even if it's a quick trip to the store.  We bring him to Carleton Place to visit our family and he loves running around the farm and discovering new smells.
 

Ellway is a wonderful dog and we would like to thank the SPCA for letting us adopt such a great companion.  We're sorry for the delay in the update, but we really hope you remember him and that you all know how happy he is in a loving, forever home.  Thank you again for giving us such an amazing dog to make us laugh, run after, play and care for everyday.

The Morris family and Ellway.
