Emma - Week One


Cousin Emma is living with us until July 1, 2018 (164 more days) as Uncle Chris has been assigned to the UK until then. She arrived last Wednesday. This was a few days earlier than planned but the weather didn't look good so to make sure she got here (as Uncle Chris was leaving regardless), he brought her here.

The first few days were a little rough for our girl. She was very upset and threw up a lot. It was weird because it would be hours after she ate. We cut out treats and waited to introduce our food. By day 3, her stomach seemed to settle and we haven't had a problem since. 

She also hasn't liked the extreme cold and a few days Lady has had to carry her outside to use the potty. Lady is happy to report Emma hasn't had any accidents since arriving.  She has a history of liking to pee on the dining room floor.

Other that stealing Phod's Precious (a second has been brought into the house), we have no issues. We are lucky everyone gets along and everyone can find a spot in the bed!

We are sure there will be some adventures over the next 5 months!

  1. it#s great that all bugs are gone and you can look forward to 164 days of fun :O))) we learnt that threee is not always a crows it is more an addition for dogs with different interests and it gives us more room to pick a play mate... or a wrestling buddy...

    Welcome Emma; I think that living for that long with Lady and Man and Lee and Phod, you will find that you really quite like it... but I am sure you will be very glad when your Chris finally gets back!!! Hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx

  4. It must be tough for Emma to not have her daddy around. She is lucky to have you to stay with where she will be loved and have some pups to play with.

  11. A great big re-welcome to Emma!!! We hope her stay goes smoothly for all.

    Change is hard so no wonder her tummy was off. Timber is having a hard time adjusting to Mom being gone so much. He is a real Mama's boy:)

  13. Good luck on your vacation, E. You have landed in the right place. Man and Lady will take good care of you. Cold weather can be tough. In case it snows - DO NOT let the snow touch your belly. In case it tries to touch my belly, I beg Mom to pick me up. Have fun.

  14. Aww, sweet Emma misses her Uncle Chris. But I'm sure between you guys and the Lady and Man of the house, she'll be well taken care of and who knows, maybe she'll eventually start to enjoy racing around in the snow for a couple minutes at a time. Zoom-zoom.
