H was on the phone to A, Ellies 'mum', yesterday. A and her partner S have had what could best be described as tumultuous relationship since they got together (a long, sad story I won't bore you with here) which has now resulted in him (S) not having gone home since we were up last weekend.

A is now at the end of her tether, obviously really upset etc., which is tranferring to Ellie with predictable results. A says she will give the situation 2 weeks to be resolved, one way or another, and if S doesn't come back, she feels unable to deal with Eliie on a long-term basis.

So, unless things pick up very substantially over the next week or two, these could well be the last pics you'll see of Ellie.

You can only imagine how distraught we feel for Ellie - but sadly, there is no way we can manage another dog here, so it's thinking caps on, folks!
