Elphaba or Elfie as she is sometimes called was rescued from a local animal shelter. With all the talk about animal cruelty cases in the media her owners decided to take a stand by adopting a breed that is often misjudged. She was named after the Wicked Witch of the East character in the book/play Wicked, Elfie's owners say those familiar with Wicked will understand the appropriateness of her name.

The above picture is from Elfie's first Halloween. The picture to the right is of Elphaba after her laparoscopic assisted spay.
