Ellen,

We love your show and really enjoyed your funny story about where your animals all sleep around you in your bed, and how careful you have to be to not disturb them. My family has 2 dogs, 3 indoor cats, and about 10 outdoor cats. My older sister’s household also has 2 dogs and 3 indoor cats. Our animals sleep with us and we know all about those precarious sleeping arrangements.
We thought since you were such an animal lover that you would sympathize with our story. On March 14, my sister’s Jack Russell terrier puppy, Odie, was hit and killed by a Domino’s delivery driver. The driver had been aware that her puppy had run out when the driver came to the door, and saw her son chasing it around the yard. Nevertheless, he went down the street, turned around, and came back by her house at high speed. He didn’t even stop to see what he hit – just kept going. My sister’s puppy was just like a child to her and she cried for days. We thought that Domino’s would be completely remorseful and apologetic for what happened, but after calling to explain the situation, it took days to hear back from a manager. When we did, the manager did say she was sorry, and asked if there was anything they can do. My sister asked if they could replace the puppy – pay for a new one. The manager turned defensive and said she would have to talk about it with her husband – who she owned the franchise with. This was 3 days ago, and my sister has not heard back. My sister called the corporate office, and they told her that it was her fault – that she should have been more careful with her dog. This is outrageous.
We think a company like Domino’s should be able and willing to pay for a new dog for my sister. The fact that they are ignoring my sister and treating her like she’s overreacting, that it’s not a big deal, is just heartless. This story needs to be told. I think dog lovers everywhere, especially you, would be sympathetic. It would be great if you could tell this story on the air, so people would know what little regard this corporation has for animals.
Thanks Ellen, for continuing to bring a cheerful and funny hour to our days. Keep up the good work!

I thought I had it bad. There is always someone in worse shape than you. Everyone that is down in anyway, just keep your head up!!!!

My dearest Ellen,
My name is Diana and I live in Baltimore, MD. I would love to drive to FL with you. Baltimore to FL would probably take approx. 24 hrs. depending on who's driving. (I could probably get us there in about 15 hours or so), I drive kinda fast. OOOOO we could stop at South of the Border!!that would be fun!! Anyway I'm petite so I won't take up much room, I love all kinds of music, & I promise to make funny faces at other people driving on the road. We'll have a HOOT!! I'm a single mom, & I've worked 3 jobs, 7 days a week,for toooo long. Well that's all changed lately. I recently found out the value of personal time, so now I don't work that much anymore. You say the word and I'm there. If you pick me though, do you mind writing the dentist I work for an excuse slip??? That would help.
Look forward to hearing from you
Diana

I just want to let you know Ellen, how great you are... When I set up my 'my space' page and was asked who my heroes were you were first to come to mind. Not only are you so POSITIVE, (which we need more of in this world), but YOU have accomplished so much! I don't even know where to begin to compliment you; You face issues that other people won't even touch but in a positive/loving way- the fact that you are a lesbian and not shouting it out but acting as a normal human being is something you can be proud of. Not Gay rights but 'equal' rights. Oh, and you always dress so respectfully, no big diamonds that could feed a whole village; actually some of the diamonds famous people wear could build and feed a whole village. You are always so funny- I was sad today cause my husband's car broke down this morning and the transmission is going up on my car and yet, you always get me laughing so hard that I have make sure I pee before your show starts (just kidding)!! Anyway, you are a true inspiration cause I feel with all the problems going on in the world right now- being positive and nice to others, even though there are problems, is the way to start.
Thank you for putting smiles on millions of faces everyday.

Keep up the dancing, cause there is a lot to dance for- Yay!

It's not how many years are in your life. It's how much life is in those years.

Live A Good Life.

Ellen,

My name is Casey Melvin and I am 21 year old married college student at Western Carolina University in North Carolina and I watch your show every day. I was watching your show the other day and saw that sweet blue Camry you were driving around and I had a great idea. Since Toyota's are such amazing cars and you are such an amazing TV host you should give one of those suckers away. My husband and I are both having to share his truck because my car isn't in good shape and its starting to sound like a moped. We dont have the money to fix the car because repairs cost so much and my husband is the only one working because I am a full time student. So, I thought I would pass my advice along to you and say, "Hey Ellen, it would be great if you gave your car away to a 21 year old college student living in Cullowhee, North Carolina (who's name is Casey Melvin)! Lots of love to you Ellen!

Hello Ellen,
I started watching your show about 2 months ago you are hilarious! I was recently laid off from my job in Feb. Which was a nice break because I'm now 4 months pregnant, and a little rest is nice. Your show is the only reason I'm waking up in the morning I need a good laugh; because I've been depressed I'll be losing my med. insurance in 5 days. I love your energy and spunkyness thats the personality I have and I've lost that because of the upcoming situations in my life. My fiance and I live in Pennsylvania and we'd love to come to your show, I need my boost of energy back. Happy belated birthday. Hope to hear from you. Love Kari

Ellen, read my e-mail PLEASE!!!!!! I've sent you lots of them, and I have not heard a word!!!!! PLEASE CALL MY DAUGHTER AND ME VERY SOON!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Ellen,
