Emmy slept through last night with only one potty trip at 4:30am. She seems to be adjusting very quickly...at least we hope! Today, she had a pretty laid back day which was wonderful for her. She mainly slept and played while Bill worked on some homework. You'll see a video below of her playing with her first Christmas present from Amy's friend/colleague, & former PAWS Raiser, Barb Miller (Collen & Duke were her puppies).
This afternoon, Amy brought Emmy to the last session of a Hope Visit Day. It was a small group mingle session and Emmy did very well. She wore her cape and did a pretty good job at controlled greetings. The hardest part was not jumping on people, but she learned very quickly. After about 30 min of that, she passed out while Amy finished talking with families. She did a great job on her first official outing as a "Future Assistance Dog".
Tonight, Emmy experienced her first snowfall too! She wasn't quite sure what to think of that frozen stuff...but like any good dog, she put it in her mouth to find out what it's all about! The only problem is, she got really cold outside and was shivering...so we had to do some warming up- which she didn't seem to mind at all.
Emmy is still not eating a ton- still eating less than 1/2 cup meals 3 times a day. We're continuing to do a mixture of hand-feeding and eating out of the bowl...but she seems to lose interest in the food before she's done. Hopefully as she gets more familiar with us and her new home she'll get better about eating more.

Yay for successful first outtings!
Just a note. None of the E puppies were crazy eaters. They would eat then play with a toy then eat again. Even when the whole gang ate out of one pan there was some small amount of food left. Just their style. Great job and looks like you are having fun.
