A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Banter Hall The Critter Corner Emmy Plays Soccer

I went out side to try to get pictures of Birds but Emmy had a different idea ,
This soccer ball has been worn out by her,, she was determined when she was a puppy to be able to carry it,, it has been torn up by her,, and she loves it,,
I'll just post pictures as it happened over the course of about 1/2 hour, kicking the ball for her and chasing her,
~~~~~~
I spotted her standing by the ball just waiting for me to notice her,


I kicked the ball for her to get started,,





more,,,,,,

continued from ^ there




She was running the length of the yard...



sometimes ran in circles,, and once she suddenly stopped still holding the ball in her mouth and looked around,, I was cracking up,, she looked confused




More.....

continued from ^ there,,

shoot she wore me out chasing and kicking the ball for her,, I gave her the win today!!
Told her it's time to go in,,



But promised I'd take her out for somemore fun later,,
She looks at her torn up soccer ball ,,,



* I guess I really should think about getting her a new ball,, But she'd have to break it in all over again,, it took her almost 18 months to get this one just as she needs it to carry it and run,, *

and that's the end of Emmy's play by play soccer game today,,

How sweet !!! What a fun story and pictures!!

She looks like she was really having fun!! You were too, I know!!

I was having fun too but it's hard to take pictures of her and still run and kick and look for birds too,,

I just want to eat her up!!! That last shot says it all!!!

Give her an extra hug from me today, Diane!

awwwwwww okay Lynne I will ,,,, it's getting colder as the day goes on,, I'll have to put her "hoodie" on her soon when we go out ,, it's 38 right now, windy too,, so it's pretty chilly for us here,,

Wow!! Now that's multi-tasking!!!!

Yep AND trying to catch my breath,, It isn't easy running these days,

Here's Emmy in her warm up hoodie!!

Diane that is so cute thanks for sharing with us. Sorry I wasn't on last night right now have two birds helping me type this. Bratbird on my right hand and YOYO sitting on the edge of the keyboard watching everything I do.

Well I'm glad Yo-Yo and Bratbird got to see Emmy maybe they will recognize her when I bring her over to visit next time Jimmy!

Diane,
When it gets too warm for Emmy's hoodie, send it to me (or bring it to me) and I'll put her name on it.

Are you serious?? that would be awesome,,
I'd love to bring it,, maybe later this spring or this summer!

Oh my gosh, I missed this yesterday. She is SOOOOO cute---and she has some big teeth for such a small doggy.

So the score of the matches for now is Emmy 1, Diane 0?

I've always loved seeing Emmy, and I love seeing everyone's pets...so more pics everyone!

Loz it's more like Emmy 12 to Diane 0,, cuz I'm always ready to go inside sooner than she is,, especially when it's cold,,

She does have big teeth for a little dog,, must be those butter bowls and soccer balls she's had to gnaw on

NO--do not get Emmy a new Ball--like you say this Ball is just the way she likes it---what you might want to do is get another Ball so she can break the new one in while she still has the old, favorite one.--That way if you ever have to throw the old one away she will not be as sad.

Dante has 2 basketballs----both are deflated a lot so he can grab them & bring them back to whomever is throwing them--he loves them both---and would be very upset if either were gone. I am thinking Emmy would feel the same.

Dante has 2 by accident (we got him a new one because the old was deflated just like you are thinking)--but he loved the old one so we kept it---we now realize he likes them deflated---if one bites the dust so to speak we will have another favorite during the time we are breaking in a new one.

And thanks for sharing pics of Emmy playing--she is a sweetheart. :ding:

Emmy looks so comfy in that sweatshirt, Diane!
How cool would that be for Glenda to put her name on it - WOW!

good Idea Carol,, I may go ahead and get another one to get it broke in while she still plays with the other one,,,

So Dante' plays basketball and Emmy Soccer,,


Lynne Yep Emmy with her own personalized Hoodie,, Is that called spoiled or what?? and she wouldn't know it there,,

I've got a new camera and practicing with the different setting and sub modes
I tried it out on Emmy using the sport mode continues shot,,
I got loads of pictures,, But I like these two the best

I like that this camera stop absolute action,,




I love this one,, Emmy is walking up to me carrying the ball and Smiling




this setting is on soft Portrait



Emmy is the perfect candidate for me to practice on!

I didn't edit these pictures yet,, as far as enhancing,, I wanted to see how much editing would be needed,, only thing I did was cropped them and down sized,, still experimenting with the camera.

Ooooo, that bottom one is SO precious! I love it!

I like that one best too Loz,,, I'm going to edit out the remote control and print it out and frame it,,

very nice. I usually have to sharpen mine. I like the sports setting too.

I love Emmy's pictuires, and you must have 1 nice camera---

I too love the last photo as well---and yes, I would frame it too....

Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Emmy!

Nice action shots, and just look at how she is posing for you in the last picture!!! You should find an online site for animal pictures - she would win for sure!

Thanks Sheri,, I usually have to sharpen mine too,, These needed it But I didn't do it this time,, But Emmy's last one came out awesome,, Except for the remote control on the bed, My bad,!


Thanks to you too Carol,, its a Nikon P80,, Income tax got it for me,,

Oh those are soooooooo cute!!!! I can see her smile even with that ball in her mouth!! See her eyes?? I love it when peoples smiles are genuine enough for you to see it in their eyes, and you can see that in her eyes!!!

That portrait is preciouse!!!

I can hardly wait to meet that sweet little face!!!
You'll think I came just to see HER!!!!

Welllllllllllllllllllll?

Diane those are some good photo's that must be some great camera. Emmy sure poses for you good. And Shirley I thought you were coming to meet Emmy and seeing Diane was just a side note.
