Emma Daisy

We adopted Emma in July 2007 and she has been quite a joy! It was a bit rocky at first as Emma chewed up almost everything in sight -- from expensive shoes to furniture to every blanket and toy we ever gave her! She is quite the Houdini as well, as she can open her solidly latched crate at will. She gave us a couple of scares when she downed a pound of fudge and Easter candy -- wrappers and all, then proceeded to eat everything off the refrigerator -- including the magnets! She must have a cast-iron stomach, though, because she was fine a day later.

She has successfully passed several training classes, including the Advanced class and is now an extremely well-behaved, generally submissive young lady. She loves her doggie classmates and the social interaction of the training classes, so we are going to try the tricks and agility classes next.

We all suffered a great loss recently, when our beloved yellow Lab, Beau, passed away on December 6th at the ripe old age of nearly 14. Emma has been quite depressed without her constant companion, but we are trying to provide her with extra love and attention. She is quite skittish now and jumps at every noise and sudden movement. She is eating and going outside less, but this is improving.

She is very attached to her human mom, Michele, and has a love/hate relationship with her 3-year old human brother, Brendan. She enjoys taking walks with human dad, Paul, and 9-year old human sister, Sydney.

Emma Daisy has been a wonderful addition to our family, especially now that we are missing an important member of our family. We are very grateful to have had the opportunity to adopt her.
