What's Up with the Pup?

Haven't done an Emma update in a bit.  She is doing well.  Thankfully she seems to be bug free after our little flea incident.  She has had a few play dates with my parent's dog Quincy in the last couple of weeks.  She loves those.  She also has had lots of attention from guests over the last little bit as we have had a couple of occasions to entertain here lately.

Healthwise I am quite pleased.  No ailments to report.  We have actually found a wet food that she likes and can eat without it upsetting her oh so sensitive stomach - its the Beneful Lamb and Rice and she seems to really love it.  She has to wade through kitties to get to it as they gather around her bowl when the package is opened.  She is still scratching on the carpet - sigh - but I do think it has been a little better than normal.

She has been playing with the wild child Theo - who is much more fascinated with the dog than any of the other ferrets.  She has also been trying to keep the little ferrets away from her toys and treats when they try to steal them.  She is funny giving them a little high pitched warning bark that usually does the trick.  They will hoard just about anything that isn't too heavy....

All in all I think Miss Emma is doing pretty well.  For 10 years old I have no complaints about her health or energy levels.  She desperately needs a haircut as she is shedding all over the place.  Maybe this week I can get that done.  She is my sweet and beautiful pup....
