Happy Birthday Emily!!!

My Fabulous Birthday!

I hung out in the park,




played with other dogs





and had some super yummy treats today.

It's so good to be me!

Smile!

Emily is smiling at you!

Emily decides the fate of the media center

The new media center arrived today. Emily says Hi

Emily and the bags

Emily has lots of cushions and pillows and blankets and a big mattress to sit on. So of course she claims the blue plastic bags on the floor...

Bones

Soup bones are a new treat.

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.

Emily's New Toy

Where did that quack come from?

Come, Sit, and Down

After months of dog class, Emily follows the basic commands enthusiastically: Come, Sit, and Down

The Great Snow of '09

Sorry for the blackout -- M. was in the US for a week, and H. had the Internet off for work and sanity. That got to be a habit.

In luddite news, H. hand-stitched Emily's new fleece underwear (to go under her coats and cover her belly and chest). So, blackout over. Because it SNOWED. Yay!

Emily Puppy has been busy

[Happy things first]
Emily the super busy puppy's been

... picking up slack for Mommy.

Mostly she's been barking. This is what she looks like when she does that:

[I call her Ol' UnderBite Em]

Mommy's always staring at the evil flat thingy -- with squiggly things on it. So Emily wanted to do it too. It didn't taste so good.

[Whatever. It couldn't have been that bad.]

H: [Emily pulled 6 keys off my computer and ate two. We now have replaced "I" and "9" with "Alt Gr" and some key with a weird picture on it. I'm running out of useless keys fast]

She also ran into our bedroom and ate my earplugs. I know because they were gone from the bedside table. Also, two nights later, I found them in her poo.

H. has gotten a lot better at stuffing the Kong. 'Cause Emily can't get her goodies out. Sometimes she barks at it:

[Then she just whines at the food to come out]

She also tore a hole in her new beddy, and is bent on spilling its innards around the house. But they're okay.

[Still a cutey. But kind of hairy.]

[I can see you right there, Daddy!]

Bed Hunter

The great hunting dogs of yore have brought down mammoths and tigers. Emily attacks her new beddy:



What you don't see here: 10 minutes later, she christened it with pee. She's a classified hunter/pee-er.

[ETA] 5 hours after she'd peed in her new beddy, Emily got it back, freshly washed, then dried fluffy on the radiator. She enjoyed it for 5 minutes, after which she prompty peed in it again.

Mommy: OI!

Places to Go, People to Chew

Despite surgery, Emily's a busy (FRAPpy) puppy. Actually, I think with the fast-scuttling she's developed, she's gotten even faster.

[Don't know what, but I gotta do it!]

The Doggy Trap

This one's a bit longer than the usual, but it was taken by chance off M.'s new cell phone.
Now if only we can get her at the moment of jumping up on the sofa and turning on the TV.


[And that's how she did it]

Our Yard

[Who me?]

is not really our yard, just three large grass plots shared by the three condo buildings. But Emily thinks the one in front of our house belongs to her, so when she's not outside, she stands up in her comfy chair and barks at every dog and bird that dares run around in it.

She eats daisies.

Next up (if Mommy's lucky): H. discovers the meaning of Bichon Blitzes. That's what a quarter of a dog will do for you.

Ducklings

This is all about Mommy. Emily is so not into ducklings, not even to bark at.

Emily Notes

This week Emily could go on walks without barking at people passing by. She still barks at other dogs and at bicyclists.

Busy Morning

Emily's Morning: guaranteed to get you brisk back to work after watching.

[First, the Warm up]

Mommy has 4 different cuts of this on tape. Who's the silly one now?
