Emma looking stately

I was laying on the couch and noticed Emma looking back toward the kitchen. She looked so good, I got out my cell phone and snapped this picture of her. I can't believe I actually got it before she moved. She is 7 months old now and is getting so big. She is almost as tall as Jordan.

An Afternoon in Orr Park

This afternoon Emma got her nails trimmed and it took three vet tech's to hold her still. She also got a microchip so if she ever gets lost we will be able to ID her. On the way home, as a reward, we stopped at Orr Park in Montevallo. This park allows dogs as long as they are on a leash. I am also under doctors orders to walk everyday so this was perfect for everyone. Here are some shots I took on the cell phone as we walked through the park. When you see the scruffy old guy with the back brace and the beard it will be me and my friends.

Update

It has been a little over five weeks since I last posted to our blog. I have been recovering from back surgery and it has been slow going. Emma is doing fine and is now up to about 50 pounds. She has so much energy and can run and jump like a pony. She loves to play in her wading pool. She puts her head under the water and blows bubbles from her nose. She met her first toad the other night and was very interested in this strange creature. Emma will be somewhere around seven months old at the end of this month (since she was a rescue we will never know what her exact birthday was but the vet estimates this based on the development of her teeth), and it is getting to be time to have her spayed. I hate to have to leave her overnight at the clinic. She will probably be a much better patient than I was at the hospital. She is at the back door right now chasing flies that have gotten into the house. I still have a problem with her biting and jumping which is going to have to be addressed. Perhaps a obedience class at Pet Smart might be a good idea. Since I have been home for the last five weeks, we are beginning to bond more closely. She is discovering that it is nice to have someone scratch your back and rub under your chin. She sleeps beside me in her crate every night but is an early riser. I have really missed taking pictures and videos and posting them to the blog. Hopefully in a few more weeks I can get some more good action shots. It is kind of hard to hold the camera wearing a back brace and using a cane. My lovely wife has posted a few new pictures to her blog if anyone would like to check them out.
