Forever Home

Emma has started to cuddle with us. She has been jumping up on the couch for a while. However, she never stayed long. Now she likes to cuddle up between us and sleep. She also sleeps cuddled up next to me in the morning instead of the foot of the bed like she used to. Miguel and I feel like she finally really feels like this is home now and we are her 'people'! We love our little family!

Sometimes it doesn't always look very comfortable for her...

Head rush Emma?

Emma! That is NOT modest or lady-like!

There, much better!

On another non-dog related note, I got my hair colored this week. I asked to be a little lighter blonde. This is how it looks:

RED/ORANGE! And that is with a headband covering much of it!! So... crossing my fingers and saying a prayer this morning that I can go back and get it fixed - for free - today before we leave for labor day weekend!

Emma Dreaming and Meeting Juli

My friend Juli (one of the only people I know living in Savannah) came over to visit and meet Emma. I've known Juli from church and school since I was really little. She is one of the sweetest people I know. Juli is one of those people that everyone just can't help but gravitate towards and she always puts you in a happy, smily mood. Emma of course loved Juli; they are great friends now =)

Here is a video of sweet Emma dream running in her sleep...

Juli showed me this funny video on Youtube (click here) ... of a dog, Biskit, dreaming! So funny! Watch it till the end, very funny!

Here are some cute pictures of the puppy and the hubby below:

Under is good, even if it's just under a leg

New Toys! My favorite thing!

I read somewhere that having two sets of toys that you rotate every month or so prevents your dog from getting bored of the toys and resorting to chewing on 'new' things like your shoes or furniture.

Emma has already destroyed many of her toys. Yesterday I noticed that she has started to take every toy out of her toy box and none of them are entertaining her... even the beloved duck. So I decided to go out to the dollar store and get her some new ones.

I exchanged and stored the old toys to take out again next month. It took Emma about ten minutes to realize she had new toys.

So far her favorite seems to be her hotdog. I'm lucky to be able to IM with Miguel while he's at work. We were IM chatting about Emma's new toys and thought I would share a bit of the conversation:

Laura: "Emma LOVES her hotdog!!!"

Miguel: "I can relate to that"

hahaha =) My husband makes me laugh!

Other new things today:

1) Emma likes to play hide-and-go-seek... Can you spot the puppy?

2) Emma is trying very hard to catch an elusive fly that has decided to make the window his new residence

3) Emma has starting pulling on her leash when we take her out these days. So this weekend Miguel and I stopped at Petsmart and bought her a harness. We have a little Houdini puppy. She has somehow learned to wriggle free from it if she wants too. However, it actually does a pretty good job when we're walking her. The only other down side is that it only came in black. No cute pink is such a bummer!

4) This is what can happen when you don't keep an eye on a puppy at all times
