Beautiful Weather


We have had some AMAZING weather this week. Today the high was 73! Emmy has been loving this week because she's been able to go for longer walks and play outside on her tie-out in the afternoons with Bill. She has been exploring a lot as well, especially since she has never really seen much grass until this stage in her life...so she insists on smelling and exploring every inch of the lawn.

Tonight, Bill's brother Bob came over to play video games, and Emmy definitely enjoyed watching them play (see the videos!). She has been doing so good lately. She is in the midst of another growth spurt in which we're noticing her getting taller. In fact, just earlier today we caught her sticking her nose on the coffee table to see if she could snatch something off the table now that it's the same level as her head. When we caught her she looked like the cat who ate the canary!

Emmy is also just getting over her first cold! For about the past week, Emmy has had a running nose (especially in the morning and after lying down), sneezing, bloodshot eyes, and has been more sleepy than usual (hard to imagine!). We checked with the PAWS vet, and they didn't think it was anything more than just a common cold or even seasonal allergies (much like people!). We felt lucky though because just this week we found out that kennel cough is going around the area, and had hit a few of the PAWS dogs even...including some foster puppies. Luckily Emmy was not one of them. Thankfully, she's feeling much better now (I think the warm weather and sun had a lot to do with that!).
