Footsie

Emily finds the best places to hang out.

[Mmm, stinky]

[My foot~]

Emily also plants her fuzzy butt on Mommy's stomach. Yes, when your dog climbs up to sit on you, it's dominance. Mommy knows. Mommy also knows that Emily's only 10 pounds. Much good dominance will do you, shrimp.

Bones

Soup bones are a new treat.

[Emily with her bone]

Summer Days

[Mommy should be more elated about the Korean World Cup football team making it to the 16, but honestly, H. sees it as another day of nail-biting, blood-drying, nerve-wracking frazzle, in which little will be done but refresh screen, as she doesn't have the guts to see them lose. Badly. This is not the spirit of WIN talking here.]


Emily's summer is started, now that Mommy's running after her with the buzzing clippers. Bad Puppy-cuts to follow, soon.

[Emily Contemplating Ice Cube]

H. also picked up 3 bunches of peonies that bloomed marvelously. Emily reenacts Ellen Terry:

[I Actresses]

see?:
[Choosing, G.F. Watts]

ETA: Uncle Shaggy alerts us to this DOGGY DANGER: Peonies.
Luckily, Emily's moment was brief and staged. whew!

More on Poisonous plants for dogs.

!!! WE WON !!!

!!!Korea: Greece, 2:0!!!

After 4 beers, lots of screaming, lots of yelling, and swearing at the losers to just GET ON WITH IT,
we believe Mommy LET them win.

Bumily was hanging out on Uncle Ernst's knee.
hee.

Bummy (&) Mommy

We've long concluded that Emily is a Cat Dog. Cog? Dat? Observe:

[Gravity? wot? This is totally normal!]

But she's also very snuggly. Always needs Mommy space. Even a bitty bit.

[I claim this back in the name of Puppy!]

***
Mommy's major disappointment in the last 1/3 of "Cinderella's Sister" has not stopped her from starting another Korean Drama. "Coffee House" is hilarious FUN. But then, all K-dramas I like are good for the first 10 eps.

Sun Puppy!

[Emily, in her Throne of Stinky]

H. tried giving the little panting puppy some water, but Emily would have none of it.

Duel! Puppy vs. Mommy!

[Ferocious Puppy! Hear me ROAR!]

background noise is Alias Season 3. Mommy's weapon of choice is the calcium bone from Emily's favorite chicken snack.

Super Puppy Super Busy

Bunny's family in Maryland sent her a fluffy blue blankie. Now, Emily can be a superhero FRAPer, right out of the bath.

[Hi Gramma!]

Emily still has time to do evil, like grab the bag of cotton wipes that Mommy uses to remove her heavy duty sunscreen, tear up the bag, and nest on the rest.
[All your wipes are belongs to me]

Bundle Bunny

H&M are a bit rushed (and Emily is sitting on Mommy's lap with wet feet, leaving a damp spot on her work pants), so only a little bit of Bunny goodness for today:

[MY blankie]

Lately, Daddy's been the primary care-giver. He's been updating the blog too (as you might have noticed from the decrease in ridiculousness)
[Hello! Real puppy over here!]

Yay! Daddy's coming home!

[Ol' Underbite Em Strikes Again]

Emily's taken to throwing up hairnets (not dense enough to be hairballs), which is getting mildly worrisome. Mommy thinks you shouldn't lick the floor, Bunny.

In happy news, YAY! Daddy's coming home tomorrow!

Oh, Go Jump In the Lake

Holland thinks it's Spring, and so does Mommy and the Bumster.
After teasing Timmy and the MinPin, H. and Emily decide it's a nice day for a free romp, without the leash. Remember the island?

While Mommy is busy picking up pieces of broken glass (%&@!!!), Emily sees DUCKS! shoots after them without warning, and jumps right into the water, and swims across to the other side.

Emily says: but that's why they call it DOGGY PADDLE, Mommy!

[I get to roll on Daddy's side of the sofa now?]

H. has to confess that only 10 minutes before this happened, she'd told Emily that little doggies wouldn't be getting any swimming lessons, as Mommy's heart just couldn't handle it.

---

In less exciting news, last night, Emily had a huge chunk of broken branch stuck in the back of her teeth, and had to be rushed to the emergency night vet in Rijnsburg.

Oi, Cujo Hours.

Foraging on Walks

Emily (aka, Bunny, short for Hunnybunsweetiepie) picks up all sorts of junk on walks. That seems (to her) the sole purpose of walks anyway.

[Bunny the Vampire Slayer]

Happy Valentine's Day Blizzard!

Long time no post. Here's what we've been up to: more clothes for Emily!
We bought leopard print cloth and pink fleece for the soft inner layer. H. hand stitched it. (more on that and hand made dog thermal underwear, later)

[It's not a blankie?]

[It's not a hat?]

[Oh Yuck, Clothes]

[Happy Valentine's Day!]

Keep out of the blizzard! We'll be right back with more catch up posts.

On the Second Day of 2010...

Happy New Year Folks!After last year's kimchi, H. made her first pot of Ddukgook. Yums was had by all.

On the second day of 2010, H&M and Uncle Ernst finished an 11 hour Lord of the Rings Marathon. Good way to start a new year, in front of the big screen. Emily was royally bored.

Happy Thanksgiving!

[Scotland's answer to Gandalf?]

Also, H. got a B-day package from home (thanks, Mom& Dad!!! everything's wonderful!)

Emily's clothes were a big hit! Except with Emily, of course. She tucked her tail and hid under the coffee table.

[101 reasons I love Korea: sequin trimmed faux-fur doggy clothes]

(11/27, 10 am)

[And she sulked this morning too]

[Boo! Grandma, you're related to Mommy, aren't you?]

Jailbreak Puppy

As time goes on, M. and H. are learning the vicissitudes of 'dogality' -- dog personality. Emily's a right weirdo.
Example: she likes to scratch and sniff walls. (read: lick)

[Shawshank Puppy: Behind that poster of Rita Hayworth's Fuzzy Bikini is a world made of dreams....]

So, we put cardboard up against it. Nothing doing. She'll scratch and dig at the cardboard until she reaches the wall, then scratches and digs some more.

[What? This is normal!]

I don't have the heart to tell Emily that she'll only end up in our neighbor's house.

[Sleep to dig another day]

Static Puppy!

[What do you mean they go up?]

Emily thinks every soft surface belongs to puppies. Even if they're winter curtains.

[Mommy, does my hair look funny?]

Dog Sonar

H&M are talking in the kitchen when they are interrupted by high pitched dog sonar.
So, why is the little white dog whining?

[Wah! Beary fell off the chair. Pick him up for me, Mommy!]

Buttnaps and Books and Bread

Mommy cut herself off from the Internet during the day to work, but Bumily's been a busy puppy.

Cute puppies can nap anywhere and get away with it. Guess what's my new pillow!

[Don't lose weight, Mommy. Cushy, tee hee]

And we can has three blankies.

[Good for hiding]

Emily hangs with Beary a lot 'cause he's cool.

[and he's into twine bondage]

Mommy hid the penis up on the top shelf 'cause of the yucko smell.

Emily took it out on the books.

This isn't a book, Mommy!

Oh, and Mommy made bread. Emily had some too by being really cute.

[Pretty tasty]

Just wait till you see how much the roses have grown!

Bulle Pezen & Emily, Savage Hunter

H. received e-mails from friends who Googled "bully sticks." Yes, they're dried bull penises, not "tendons." Aunty Fr asked if H. would still buy them.

The only change was that for a full day (and maybe longer) H. couldn't stop saying BULL PENIS at all times.

"Emily, would you like your BULL PENIS?"
"Emily, you stink like BULL PENIS!"
"Emily, behave, or I'll take away the BULL PENIS!"

(et cetera, et cetera)

Uncle Shaggy thought it was too mean to make Emily engage in what he thought was a particular "grownup activity." H. wants him to know that if that's what he thinks it is: "DUDE, YOU'RE DOING IT WAY WRONG."

Caligula is not yer homeboy.

[/Joke Over]

The words B--- P--- are now forbidden in this household.
*kicks dirt*
Daddy's such a tyrant.

We leave you with Emily vs. the Biscuit. Watch how she teases and baits her prey (or the other way around).
