So I met this BIG doggie the other day



This weekend Emmy had an opportunity to go and meet Duke!!! Duke is a PAWS dog who had a career change, and is now a house pet. Duke is a 2 1/2 year old golden retriever, and is someone that Emmy is going to spend the weekend with in a few weeks when we are gone on a retreat. Emmy was not sure quite what to do with herself in the spacious yard, being it was her first time off of leash in a yard before. Emmy decided that it would be best to be Duke's shadow most of our time there, just following him around trying to figure him out, and get him to chase her and play with her. Needless to say after about an hour of running frantically in the snow with Duke, Emmy was exhausted and pretty much was groggy and sleeping on and off for the rest of the weekend.

If that was not enough Monday Emmy had lots of socialization. We went to three different offices on campus to visit people, and allow Bill to run some errands, then we went to the bank along with a few other stores. To finish off our voyage Emmy had her first chance to go to Cook cafeteria. Emmy did a great job just following us, and watching the students. Emmy is clearly a social dog, she loved just being able to watch the world go by and see all the fun at the cafeteria.

Hmmmm....what do you smell like?

Freedom to roam, what shall I do with myself?

Cute! Look how big she's getting!! As a PAWS dog, is Emmy allowed to play with a frisbee and such? I don't think that toy in your video was a frisbee, but I'm just curious, 'cause GDA dogs aren't allowed to play with frisbee's or tennis balls!

Duke is so handsome. What a fun adventure for Emmy.
