Baby Eleanor was a truly priceless and utterly irreplaceable rescue dog, and honorary English Setter! She was an adult when she came to me on January 28, 1995, so it is not clear how young she was when she left us for Heaven this Halloween evening 2010.  I loved Ellie with all my heart, and she has been a very important part of me for over 16 years.  She was always thrilled to see me walk through the door and would toss her creaky old bod down onto the rug and wriggle and grunt with pure joy no matter how arthritic she was feeling, as if me walking in was better than anything she could dream of herself. She waited patiently off to the side while her younger pals hogged most of the attention, but when it came to food, she was usually front and center, eager to snatch a treat before it landed somewhere else.  Eleanor has been a diehard sense of stability in my life and we've been through a lot together.  She always had wanted to be my only Dog, and we got that opportunity when I had my cancer surgery in 2008.  She was so happy just to be with me and have me all to herself.  We were both in pretty decrepit condition - just the right speed for one another - and we would take long, very slow walks, she sniffing every poop or pee or tree, and me every rose or jasmine bush along the way.  Baby Ellie would have done anything for me, and I am so humbled and filled with love in the knowledge of that.   I would have done anything for her, too, though this last thing has broken my heart even though I know she had to go.  Rest in Peace dear Monkey Shina Bean, baby Foofanelle, Miss Foofanoofa, Little Old Lady, Little Oldest One, Schmelly-belly-foofanelly, Baby Bean, Monkey Binah, and, from now on, Mrs. Frankin Roosevelt forever.  I am so proud of you my baby girl, you led life on your terms and approached each day with joy, enthusiasm, trust and love in your heart.  I will miss your Smarty Pants brown eyes and snoopy smile, and your relentless begging for treats.  You have my permission to eat as many as you want up there, dear Baby E.  We all love you and will always hold you in our hearts.  Come visit us if you can, and let us feel your specialness again, if only for a moment.  Know you are deeply loved and cherished by me and Simon and Isadora.  You are so missed, and there is a huge crater left behind in your absence.  Feel us loving you every moment, for we will surely be feeling you, Baby Ellie.  You hold a very precious and strong place of Honor in my Heart.  Thank you, my Baby Sweet.
