Hello.
I was given the nickname of Ellie Mae years ago. My hubby is even worse than me.
I am a sucker for animals. Period. Right now we have two pure wolves, love them, sweet as can be (to us) the female is not trusting of strangers. My male thinks the world loves him!!
I am under puppy watch now. My dward yorkie/mini rat terrier is due to give birth within 48 hours.
Years ago I was being picked up by a date and were walking to hs car and a raccon jumped from a tree and layed around my neck, he ran. I laughed. That was my Mad Max.
I worked for SeaWorld Cleveland for over 20 years in an engineering environment, I loved it. I cried when we were sold to Six Flags and the majority of “my” animals went to the other Sea World parks.
I have had the Ellie Mae name for years and years.
God Bless your hubby...and you to!!!
Shelly
Crap, that was suppose to be private reply....lol
All of our daughters love critters- but one seems to attract animals in need and we call her Ellie Mae. She recently married a man in the Army and it has been a challenge for them to find housing where she can have even part of her critters, and so far haven’t found a place where she can keep her horse. She is still adding to the problem by recently taking in orphan kittens. Her hubby loves animals too, but seems at times both amused and frustrated by her menagerie. When he found out he was going to be deployed soon he made the comment that most men worry that they will return and their wife will have moved in another man- he says he will worry that he will return to find she has moved her horse in the house. He says he is expecting “Sarge” to call him aside in Iraq one day and tell him there is an issue with his wife having a zoo since he won’t be home to tell her “no” on getting more animals.
