On Tuesday, they will both turn 3. Baker was another litter mate to these two. It's impressive to know that they are or were dominants. I knew they were relatively young, but I didn't think they were that young. I checked a family tree in order to get these details.
When Rocket Dog picked Ella, she did a good job. There weren't that many females who could take over, but she stepped up to the plate and did the best she could. May RD rest in peace, and may Ella and Miles enjoy long, healthy lives.
Indeed. Love them both and pray for them. Their families need them. From the very beginning of watching little Attila (Baker)chase away Grog the rover, I said to myself to watch this incredible litter. They said they were aggressive because they were starving but I had thought that it was their dominant personalities showing through at that early age and I wanted to watch them mature.
How about Zorilla though, she does seem to like Miles, she preferred him over Zarathustra, and apparently over Baker too (not sure about this I didn't catch their die marks in e13) - this is a very good thing for the DF to like her DM, some stability may come from it I hope.
Ella (Sophie) looks to be really big at least next to Wilson (who I thought was Homestar Runner). This is a really good thing. And I thought Ella had a previous litter, she may have been Amira's (Rita's) mom and so Juno is her grandson. What a treat the little Juno!! So glad they kept his name. Another one to watch!
It seems that Zorilla/Nikita attacked Baker as well, during his fight with Miles. DFs don't normally interfere in such a way. It's a clear sign she likes Miles.
Ella was one of the mothers of the mixed litter of Jan/Feb 2007 that included Amira.

Are u sure that sophie is really ella? I really wish that they wouldn't change the names! Sohpie is going to make an amazing df! aRE YOU GUYS SURE
According to what I have been able to gather, Tina Sparkle, who played Sophie before this season, has left the area. The original Sophie was a pup who did not live long. I believe she may have been Mozart's daughter.
Ella is playing Sophie now. There are several posts on these forums that confirm this. She will be great, indeed. All of her babysitting experience has come in handy, and she's protective over pups, and a loving mother. If she chooses a DM who is a strong leader, as well, the group will be much more likely to succeed.
