It was a dark summer night quite a few years ago. Ellie was lying under the huge mulberry tree in our garden. As usually, we were all on our veranda discussing lively. Suddenly, we saw Ellie jumping up and running after something we thought that it was a cat.
Ellie ran up and down in front of us several times barking and making a lot of noise. We called out on her,''Ellie, Ellie, stop, come back! Ellie, back!''. She wouldn't listen! And then we realised that what Ellie was running after was a huge rat and not a cat! It goes without saying that then we started loading her, ''Well done Ellie! Get it Ellie!''.
At that point, all the neighbours who had realised what was happening, came out on their balconies with torches and lights trying to help her catch the rat.''Bravo Ellie! Catch it Ellie! Here Ellie! There Ellie!'', everyone was shouting trying to spot the rat with their torches. It was all so funny that so many people proved to be Ellie's fans! Of course Ellie caught the rat, as anyone would expect. She was fast, strong, very clever and very loyal to all of us. She was the best dog anyone could ever have. That's why we have never forgotten her, neither will we ever forget her. She was part of our lives.
But as nona has always told us, Ellie is in taygetos, on holiday! High up, near the sky, near the stars! Some day she will come back, when she misses us.
I think she has missed us and is back! Only that now she likes being called Liza!
