Tyler and Christina Hill of Ankeny, IA took Ellie May home yesterday. Tyler and Christina were married a couple of weeks ago, and literally got home from their honeymoon in St. Thomas the night before. They spent all day Wednesday in and out of airports, delayed flights, and even lost luggage, but that didn't stop them from spending all day Thursday on the rode enroute to get their newest member of the family! Tyler works for the Game & Parks department at the reservoir by Ankeny (can't remember the name) and Christina has the luxury of having the summers off. She's one of those people that only works nine months out of the year (Teachers) and if I had to guess, I bet I know which one of the two will be getting up with Ellie in the middle of the night. They were very excited to take Ellie home with them, and finally get some time to relax at home ( I didn't want to break the news to them, but I doubt Ellie is going to allow too much of that) She is what I considered the bigger twin sister to my "Remi" and she has a lot of spunk and energy. Not one that is going to want to sit around and do nothing all day. It was fun to watch her and Remi the last few weeks b/c they always seemed to be together wherever they went, and were always wrestli ng, playing, and getting into mischief together. Remi seemed kinda sad last night that her bigger twin sister was gone, but all was well today since she got to swim and go for a few rides in the pickup with me. She even got pretty tuckered out by nights end, and on the ride home fell asleep on a towel on top of the console of my pickup. Tyler plans to hunt Ellie hard this fall, and is looking forward to getting in his dad's CRP and on some serious birds. He also does a lot of waterfowl hunting on the reservoir, and if any of you know anything about the game and parks guys, they work hard during the summer so they can take time off when the birds are flying in the fall. They will make a great home for Ellie May, and I want to thank them for giving Ellie May the ideal home where she will get lots of love, and lots of birds!!!!Thursday, June 18, 2009
