I cannot believe my pup is 10 years old this week!! It seems like only yesterday we were in puppy mode and now she is all grown up and living in our crazy zoo.
I am fortunate in so many ways with Emma - she is so great with all the other critters. She watches over them, lets them crawl all over her, shares her treats and toys and in general loves her furry siblings. She has an especially strong bond with Oliver - its not unusual to see the two of the grooming each other. She is not a demanding dog at all - she is totally go with the flow. She doesn't wake us in the mornings, she is happy to go wherever so long as she is with you and she is content just to nap on the bed during conference calls or whatever else is happening. She is not a destructive dog either - never has been a chewer so for that I am thankful.
Emma does have her share of oddities - she is still so noise averse that Fourth of July and thunder about put her over the top. She does experience a bit of separation anxiety at times. She is a goof about hardwood floors and will stand on the carpet and whine until you put down a rug or a towel for her to walk on. In the big picture of funky things to have to deal with - I think I got off pretty darn easy.
So - happy birthday my sweet sweet pup - we love you! Here's to 10 more years....
