Oh, calm down, you know I have a propensity for grabbing an attention seeking headline. Ella is alive and well, do not worry. Pearl Bailey, however, is on restriction!
This morning while I was culling through my northern attire to perhaps pass-on to the needy some items to keep them warm in the coming winter months, I came across this ‘animal skin’ once worn as a collar on a fashionable sweater. I guess Pearl Bailey liked the scent of the varmint and relocated the ‘beast’ to her side of the house!
I will tell you this, when I came downstairs with my load of donations, I almost fainted! For one brief moment I thought Ella was a goner! Thinking to myself, ‘what has Harry Barker Ella Bella done to deserve this early demise?’ After which, I quickly came to my senses!
