Emmy Prepares to Travel

Over Christmas, Emmy will become quite the traveller, with her first trip starting tonight. We will be headed to Chicago (near where Emmy was born!) to Bill's parents house in Palos Heights, IL for a family Christmas party on Saturday. Emmy will get to meet a whole lot of people during that time...but we have a suspiscion that she will love it!

Next week, we're leaving Michigan to spend Christmas with Amy's family in upstate New York. It will be about a 12 hour car ride to get to New York...so that will definitly be an adventure for all three of us! After Christmas, we'll head out from New York and straight to Chicago for New Years with Bill's family...and then back to Michigan! WHEW!!! Emmy will definitly have the whole car travel thing down by the end of the holidays! We are so excited for her to meet our families as well...and they seem to be excited too!

We cannot believe how big Emmy is getting! She's pretty much growing before our very eyes! Her adult fur has started to come in along her spine...boy are we going to miss that puppy fuzz! She's been working really hard on her commands and has been exceeding our expectations. Probably one of her favorite games is the kennel game in which we throw her food/treats into the back of her kennel and then praise/cheer/say "yes" when she goes in the kennel. If nothing else I think she gets a kick out of us making fools of ourselves!

On Wednesday, Emmy spent 3 hours at work with me in the Admissions ofice. She did a pretty good job (definitly much more controlled then in past trips), but she wasn't too thrilled when I had to do some phoning. So, she ended up spending some time with Barb downstairs in her office. She did very well listening and Barb just loved her of course because she misses the puppy stages.

Marianne has also posted on CheetoBreeder's blog that they have made a calendar of Cheeto's two litters- the O's and the E's. And, our little Emmy is the cover girl! We of course have ordered the calendar and matching notecards! When the calendars are purchased, $2 of the proceeds go directly to PAWS!
