Emily's Summer Vacation

Emily had so much fun this summer.  Here she is at one of her favorite activities.

Funny Emily

Last summer Emily hurt her back.  This summer she's not quite as wild, but  I am happy to report she is doing great.  Playing ball, swimming, and here she is waiting for some 'action'.

I think its so funny how she crosses her legs.

Happy Birthday Emily!

Emily is 10 years old today.  She's got a white face but is still so cute... here she is in her tropical garden.

Life is good...she had a hard summer last year, but nothing like a winter in Florida to make all the aches and pains go away!

Emily loves her toys

When she finishes playing she likes to sleep with them all around her. Here are some of her favorite things - an octopus, soccer ball, and that big long thing.

She also loves her little octopus and hedgehog.

Such a funny dog.

Emily gets another octopus!

Thanks Judy for the new octopus. Emily loves it!

Happy Birthday Emily

Today is Emily's 9th Birthday. She still loves playing with her toys. Especially floppy things like the octopus.

She has a blue octopus and a green octopus.

We've been going to the park every other day, and she is in great shape. If she didn't have her white face, noone would know she was 9! Happy Birthday Emily!

Dog Park - Okeeheelee Park W. Palm Beach

7715 Forest Hill Boulevard, West Palm Beach, FL

Emily gained weight over the holidays like the rest of us. So, she's been working hard to get back in shape and lose those extra pounds. We've been going to the Dog Park to play ball every other day.

We are so lucky to have this beautiful park right down the street. There's a large fenced in area for the dogs to play off-leash. There are separate areas for the big dogs and the little dogs. I wish Em could swim in this lake, but unfortunately it's not safe because there are 'gators.

Emily gets her first modeling job

Here is Emily's latest shoot modeling CoolStuffCheap.com's" Pets Eye View Camera. Emily still denies the rumors about her being seen partying with Benjie.

First Snow

There's nothing like the first snow of the year! When I left Boston it was sunny and in the 60's. Heading north it clouded in, then north of Portland, (Maine), I saw it - snow! After sliding down the driveway, and warming up a freezing house, Emily and I both agree 'Its great to be back!'. Emily found a tennis ball right away.

The lake is just starting to freeze over. Its so quiet and beautiful.

Emily loves to get dirty.

Maine, the way life should be.

Golden Doodles

This post is for Katie who loves Doodles. Look who I met - a dog named Max!


He is so sweet - his hair feels curly and soft like a poodle's and he loves to be patted just like a golden.

He wants to be a lap dog and hops up onto the couch to cuddle.

Emily goes to Camp

It was a beautiful day when we took Emily to Camp.

Morgan was happy to see her.

Sebastian is ready to play.

Emily loves her cousins!

Thanks Stevie for taking such good care of 'The Monster'.

Monster in the Movies

Emily had a great summer!

She is always looking for new playmates.

Watch out when she shakes!

Stinky Gets a Bath

After a summer of fun ...

Playing in the mud

Soccer in the driveway

Playing ball

On the deck by the water

Swimming in the lake

Emily is so stinky, we don't even want her in the house!

So, stinky gets a bath!

She's having fun...

She loves to drink from the hose.

Now she's as good as new - for a day or two...
