So we made it to Atlanta safely last night. Emma did okay. She was seat belted in for about two hours before I couldn't stand her crying anymore. Then she spent the remaining five hours (yes, FIVE, we got stuck in horrible traffic) in the lap of Miguel, who, of course was driving.
We got to the Amadors around 11p.m. . Emma was happy to see Chester, Andy's dog, again. Chester was pleased to see Emma too, but wasn't in the mood to play. To try and distract Emma I gave her and Chester a rawhide. Emma finished hers in a matter of nano seconds and bounded back over to Chester to play.

Chester, however, did not feel like playing, so retreated to a 'safe spot' between Juan and Miguel.
This morning Miguel and I slept in till 8:30! Miguel got up and took the dog out so I could continue to sleep a little bit. He is so sweet! No one else is up in the house yet. It's nice because then we fed Emma in peace. No other dogs trying to get to her food. It's rainy so exercise for the dog outside is out. So we've been playing with her in the house. She played keep-away with some of Scottie's toys. Miguel also got down on the ground and played with her. He's such a good puppy dad!

| Look! Scottie has a duck toy too! Just like my favorite! |
 |
"Mom, why do you keep sticking this thing in my face?"
|
Even though we're on vacation, Miguel still has to work on grad school stuff... boo.
 |
| Emma likes to think she helps with his studies |
But he takes breaks to play with Emma and the Amadors birds.
 |
| Rocky.... she's so mean. She only likes Teresa, Miguel's mom. Rocky fussed a lot while I was trying to get a picture of her! |
 |
| Emma snuck in and found she likes to eat bird seed |
 |
| Then she got put up and sadly wanted back in. |
 |
| Hamlet is a little more friendly! |
The rain let up a bit so I took Emma on a walk.
She got a new collar in an attempt to get her to stop pulling. The harness we had for her helped only a little... if she really wanted something she would pull so hard she would end up walking on her back two feet alone. This is called a Gentle Leader.
Emma doesn't like it. She tries to take it off... unless she gets distracted. Like when she is actually walking.
I love the weather outside this morning! It feels like fall to me! I'm getting really excited about the holiday now!
 |
| Fall weather! |
 |
| Yay! Leaves on the ground! |
 |
| The Amadors beautiful house! |
Okay. Enough for this morning!
