Emmy is picking up weight and playful as ever she is now 10 weeks today!,, I've noticed tho when something has captured her attention everything stops~~~ and she is intensely focused on what the new noise is... ( in this case it was the neighbors dogs on the otherside of the fence.. )
But one thing is for Sure Auntie Wrennie's toy is getting a work out!!! Here she is asking me to play with her as she lays there with the orange hippo in her teeth looking pityful like she's saying 'Plzzzzz play with me!!!
Sooo I take and throw it across the room and she brings it back to me time and time and time again!!
"Grace without perfection is more to be desired than perfection without grace."
We've been working on introducing new Toys,, especially a frisbe.. It took a couple of days and a lot of praise. She would run to get the frisbe but couldn't figure out how to pick it up Tooooo Funny!
Welll smart me I rubbed a little of canned dog food on the rim of the frisbe and it didn't take her long to pick it up after that!!
Contined next post,,,,,,,,,,,
"Grace without perfection is more to be desired than perfection without grace."
Now she just goes after it and bring it back everytime!!.. It really doesn't take her long to learn ~ But sometimes a little extra incentive helps the training along,,, I've also learned she loves plain Cherrio's ( Ok'd by vet) as a training treat, because the store bought training treats are tooo rich for her system Euuwwwwwwww
Well here she is~~~~ mastered the retrieving of frisbe when she gets older we'll work on catching it mid air!!!
Ahhh Wrennie Notice the color is orange??? She loves that color!!!! We tried a purple frisbe but she didn't want anything to do with it!!!
Her tail is wagging here She is loving this!!!
"Grace without perfection is more to be desired than perfection without grace."
That is too cute!! And fun!! We even get to see her in training! I'm lovin' this topic! She is so cute.
I see your Willy Village back there in relation with the rest of the yard. It is so pretty! I see the Willy hiding in the bushes near the yellow flower too! Is he hiding from the others, or is he running away, or did he go off to find a place to start his own village?
Lynne and Wrennie ~~ Yes she has stolen Dwight's Nike flip flop It took 2 days to find it some how it made it's way between the washer and dryer ,, And Nope it wasn't orange < I think maybe it might well be a good idea not to get any shoes or sandles this summer with any orange in it
"Grace without perfection is more to be desired than perfection without grace."
Shirley also Got her a red pet scarf with little white paw prints all over it,, After going outside I put the scarf on her,, Uhhhhh I don't think she was feeling it .. But she'll get used to it!!
Didn't take her long to forget alllll about the scarf once I got her back interested in the Vet!!
Continued again next post.............,
"Grace without perfection is more to be desired than perfection without grace."
Diane, I have been thinking about you all day!!! Cause I hadn't seen you on here!! You sure got that box quick, and I'm glad Emmy is enjoying tormenting her vet!!!
SOOOOOO cute----if I ever made it to Texas I'd spend half the day petting/playing with her!!!! That Vet is too funny too, I like how it says Bite Me on the back of it!
I just love the pictures you manage to capture of Emmy, Diane! Her expressions are priceless - especially the last one with the teeth just barely showing - love it!
Emmy is quite the entertainer these days, she goes for anything thrown to bring back to me!! I have an old butter bowl she was using for water outside, One day I saw her playing with it in the yard and she would get her nose in it, run with it on her nose( How she could see where she is running I don't know!), toss her head back and fliiiiiiip the bowl in the air , catch it and play with it some more and and then start tossing it again.(I guess she figured out how to do it when I didn't let her back in the house fast enough so she was entertaining herself!)
To get the jest of it truely it would have to be on film,,
I tried to capture on camera, some of the pic are blurred due to her running , but you'll get the idea...
Here she is getting her nose in it
Running and Flipping it.......
Catching it........,
More on next post........
"Grace without perfection is more to be desired than perfection without grace."
Thanks friends She is just a delight( when she isn't biting toes and yes she still does it but not as hard as she used to, I think she understands it hurt sometimes LOL) I will continue update ~ if you like.
"Grace without perfection is more to be desired than perfection without grace."
Hello everyone! it seems like Emmy Lou is love by everyone out there and Diane she is growing fast girl she looks so healthy and let me tell you it made my heart melt seeing those pictures of her! Take care chat with you again real soon Rita
Sybil I have the camera here next to the computer , IF the carrying stap is hanging off the desk she starts barking at it , so I pick it up and pretend to take a picture of if her and she just sits there!! like she knows exactly ,that it takes her picture!,, Silly Emmy!!!!!!!!
"Grace without perfection is more to be desired than perfection without grace."
Nooooo notyet ..,,,,,,, BUt yesterday she did try to catch the frisbe with her nouth IF I throw it low enough!!!! I definatley can't catch that on a picture, BUt I'll let you know when she catches it everytime!!!! She goes to the vet for another check up today!!!!!!!! She is getting heavier I'm curious to know what she weighs now,, last time she was a little over 4lbs.
"Grace without perfection is more to be desired than perfection without grace."
Took Emmy to the vet for another check up, She now weighs 6lb 2 oz( I told you she was a ham!) He said she is doing just great, she got her rabis shot today and another shot ( forgot what that one was and too lazy to go in there and look on the paper) He said I was doing well with her too He told her "sit" she sat, he told her "come" she came. he told her "leave" ( means leave it alone) she did. Soo I guess her and I get a gold star for this visit!!
"Grace without perfection is more to be desired than perfection without grace."
Oh my gosh, with that cute face how could you ever get mad?
Her face is so adorable.
That's exactly why it's hard to get upset with her, besides the fact that she soo cute and loves affection :ding: But ....... She's gotta learn some things are definate No`No's
"Grace without perfection is more to be desired than perfection without grace."
I just read all these posts today for the first time. What an adorable puppy! My daughter was looking over my shoulder & has already fallen in love with your dog!
Is she still biting toes? I read somewhere awhile back that if you squeal like another puppy would if bitten too hard during play & then don't give the dog any attention for awhile she will get the message.

Thanks for all the pictures!
Thanks Popogeejo! Nope she has stopped with the toe biting, ANd I did exactly as you said, someone had told me if a puppy didn't play rough with other puppies before given a new home they don't grasp the concept of Pain when bitten even in play,, soo I used that theory, and it really does work!
Emmy's Look is changing ~ She is getting more hair around her face and her coat over all is a little longer so it appears the 'Yorkie' in her is showing up! She still has a sweet disposition, and Still is a camera Hog!!!
"Grace without perfection is more to be desired than perfection without grace."
Like I said earlier Emmy's looks are changing. She will be 5 months old August 22, Since the last pictures I've noticed her eyebrows are getting thicker longer and a little more light in color, as well her cheeks ( Longer hair) Dwight said she is growing Whiskers I say the Yorkshire terrier is showing up as she gets older! Her coat is getting longer too and waves just a touch when she is wet.. I have taken sooooooo many pictures today that I couldn't decided which ones to post I chose 8 because she is doing differnt things. The first two show her face better What a Ham!!!!!
Heyyyy That was Dwight that taught her to stick out her tongue at people not Me
More pictures follow.......,
Here you can see the hair on her face that's growing out longer. Not a good Picture but is in the way you can see what I'm talking about ~ longer hair on cheeks .......

"Grace without perfection is more to be desired than perfection without grace."
Here we went outside And she is sitting like a lady tall and proud! Good Girl! ( she got a treat for that!)
But now it's time to cool off and play!
Testing the water First!!
She usually run under the water If I arch it up for her But never plays in it and barks at it in play! It was tooooo funny to see!! She is actually barking and biting at the water in this Pic! AS IF she can bite it and carry it off across the yard!

"Grace without perfection is more to be desired than perfection without grace."
It is so funny, about biting the water!!! She is just precious!!! I love to watch her playing, but.... your portrait-like photos of her are so wonderful!! I'm so glad you gave her a treat for that first one...a proud little girl
I like it when someone called her the Forum Puppy!!!
Remember the Butter Bowl That old raggedy thing she has bitten and chewed the heck out of it , But still loves it. I tried to give her another one, But she wants this one!
I told her I was going to throw it away But she looked at me as if to say ...., "You can't be serious! "
Wellllllllll Okay You can just chew on it until there's nothing left then!
She liked that answer......... :wink:
That's it..........., No more pictures untill I get brow beat for more!
"Grace without perfection is more to be desired than perfection without grace."
Oh Diane, I'm so lovin' it!!! She is just too sweet!
On that first one I want to pat her little butt!! Don't you dare take her good ol' toy, mom!!!
I busted out laughing at the second one! She looks like she is saying..'Don't you touch this bowl'. Too funny!
And the third one!!....well, there's just nothing to say!!! She's beautiful. She has got the most alert and bright eyes!!! You'd never know she had been so sick
She diffenatly has a personalilty for sure!! I hope as she gets older she doesn't lose her sweet playfulness,, and she learns more around here eveyday in what is expected of her,, The main thing is as with children to be consistant and have structure and boundries, soo in that case Because she is doing soo well with behavior and health I'll let her keep the ol'raggedy butter bowl
"Grace without perfection is more to be desired than perfection without grace."
awwwww, she is getting so big! I really like the pic of her looking at you saying, "touch my butter bowl and you're gonna get it" look!That is hilarious! I would be playing with her all the time, she is precious!
Jody we play alot , but she does get Hyped to the point her heart is beating hard and fast and she is panting Geeeeeeeeez I have to hold her firmly and say Shhhhhhhhhhhhhh~ Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh to calm her down Silly Emmy, But a lot of that is my fault cuz I take her to that level playing rough with her..
"Grace without perfection is more to be desired than perfection without grace."
Auntie Lynne Sent Emmy Some play animals... for each animal there was a reason it was picked,,
The Pink Elephant,,,,,,,Because I collect elephants for one area of my garden
The Lobster ,,, Because I love lobster and when I go out to eat that is my first choice on the menu
The Duck ,,,,,,, Because as she was playing with all the toys in the store to hear the sounds they make ,, the Duck was the one that made her laugh loudest and drew attention to her IT has quite a quack quack quack sound!
And Emmy Looking at the Card ,, maybe the Kitty in the Picture?

So sweet of Auntie Lynne! Good girl Emmy! *pet, pet, pet* very cute pictures!
I just love that baby dog, Diane!!! She is the cutest, sweetest little furball! I'm so glad she is enjoying her new toys - I'm telling you... if you had been in the store with me while I was playing with all the squeeze toys you would have been on the floor laughing - I was having such a great time!
Wish I could be there in person to see her reactions - I just LOVE how expressive she is!!!
