April 2008 Update

Hey Lisa!! As you can see, Emma has a very tough life!! This
happened to be her pre-dinner, post-afternoon nap, nap... She frequently
sleeps with her head hanging off edges! She just looked so relaxed in her
daddy's chair... which she rarely get on!
Later that evening, we went for a walk. As we were about to walk by the
little pond near our home, 3 ducks flew by (maybe only 12 feet off the
ground). Emma stopped walking and just watched them fly over her
head, then off into the sunset. I looked at her and said "Anything,
Emma, is it stirring up anything"?..... She didn't answer. Like I've
always said, she has more "Sofa-Spaniel" in her than anything else!
I love my Emma-Bean!
Take care,
Lorry

Hi!!!
My name is Winfree's Tiny Dancer, CGC (Canine Good
Citizen), more commonly known as Emma or Emma Bean
or Bean. I live in Jacksonville, FL. I have been living with my
family for almost a year now. My mom chose me when I was just 2 weeks
old. When I was 9 weeks old, my mom flew all the way to Virginia
just to get me. She must have really wanted me, huh?
I started school a few weeks after I moved in
with my family. I really enjoyed puppy school. I graduated from
that and went on to basic obedience class. I graduated top in my
class!!! I just earned my AKC Canine Good Citizenship certificate.
We are starting in competition obedience classes now. This should be
fun, if my Mommy can just stay focused; we make a pretty good team.
I like to watch TV, especially Animal Planet.
Have you ever seen those really big dogs on TV? I think they are
called horses; they concern me a little bit. I also like to help mom
in the garden. I love to dig, tug on roots, and help mom "water"!!!
Although sometimes I don't think Mommy really wants my help.
My daddy has taught me how to box; now that
is a good time! I also like to ride in the car (with my special seat
belt on, of course) and take walks. I especially love to snuggle with
my Mommy and sometimes my Daddy. Things I don't like: I'm not
crazy about my baths. I don't like going outside to "potty" by myself
when it's dark. I don't like it when Mommy and Daddy leave for work.
I try to use my pouty face, but they just give me a kiss and go on to work.
Sometimes when Mommy goes to work, I get to go to daycare with a bunch of
other English Cockers!!!
I've heard my Mommy tell people that I have
been a big help to her and daddy, because they are empty nesters (whatever
that is). All I know is, they sure do love me and treat me like a
princess.

Lisa, Emma insisted on writing her own
story!!!; you know how she can be!! I'd just like to add she truly has
been the sweetest, most wonderful dog. She is very bright and
affectionate with the most even temperament. Whenever we go out,
people are just drawn to her like a magnet. I hope to do some "therapy
dog" work with her in the future. I'm sure she'll be a natural!! |
