Watch out for Silica Gel Packets

Be careful this holiday season to properly dispose of all the packets of silica gel that come inside new items to keep moisture out. They are harmful to dogs if they should find them and ingest them, and believe me they will. My second Golden Megan decided to eat several of them in her life and we had to contact poison control and take action to bring them back up with not so fun methods. We now make sure that all of these pesky little packets marked "Do Not Eat" (unfortunately written in English and Dogs can't read), are quickly thrown in the trash or flushed down the toilet.

Emm and the Bone

I gave Emma a new rawhide chew toy yesterday. She played with it a while and then decided that she was going to hide it so that Jordan (our other Golden) would not find it. She stuffed it down between the cushions of the sofa and then pushed a throw over it to cover it up. Later she came back and moved it into the bedroom under the bed and pushed her fleece bedding up and over it to hide it from any other dogs that might happen upon her treasure.

Emma's Goofy Look

When Emma is really content and comfortable she gets this goofy look to display her contentment. She reminds me of a little child that knows they are getting a lot of attention and start acting out to shine and bask in the moment.
