Circus dog, part 2


I am sure that Emma escaped from the circus before she ended up at the pound. We nicknamed her circus dog before.
Today, the kids were playing outside on the playset and "camping" at the top. Emma wanted to join in the fun and climbed up the ladder. She stayed up there as long as the kids did, then took the ladder back down. The slide was too intimidating for her.
That's one place she can escape from Sparky when she's a pest.



*update*
Emma went down the slide today (Friday). She's a riot!
Also... We LOVE this swingset! We purchased it almost a year ago from Playwell, a great local company.. I highly recommend them if you are in the market for a playset of your own.
We'll be adding options (such as a rock wall) when E3 is a little older.

Wednesday...

It's Wednesday... I think... the last few days are a blur.
This bug we had was worse than we thought it was going to be.
Monday night, we were in urgent care for E2 and E3. They couldn't even drink water without vomiting it right back up. E3 puked in the waiting room.. on me... missed the bowl we brought with.
They've both improved greatly, but both are very tired. E2 slept all day yesterday and all night. E3 is quietly playing on the living room floor. Not the usual running around the house with limitless energy.
Last night I slept in my bed, without my blankets, because E1 had puked all over them, and her sister last night. It was the first time I slept in my bed since Saturday night.
Stuntman is currently sleeping. He went from the war to the stomach flu... not a good trade.

On other news...
Stuntman was very impressed and touched by the welcome he and the other soldiers received at Dallas/Fort Worth Airport when they arrived. He said it was amazing. Thanks DFW! The USO Girls are at DFW, check out their blog if you haven't before. Thanks Jamie, Lindsay and, Caroline!

Emma has turned out to be a great little dog. She does bark at Stuntman now and then, but snuggles with him on the sofa... she can't make up her mind. She is amazing with the kids... VERY tolerant and no food aggression whatsoever. She gets along great with our dogs and the neighbor's dog. She can weasel her little body out of the yard, but stays in the front yard. We need to work on the escaping.
Still not quite sure what mix of breeds she is. The vet said she was a "cute composite". Maybe pit bull, corgi, dachshund?

Hopefully, we can begin the kids R&R to-do list tomorrow. They want to go to Disneyland, Legoland, the beach, and the snow while Daddy is home.

Meet Emma


We've added one more "E" to the house.
We met her at a Humane Society adoption event on Saturday and picked her up from the shelter today.
She is 1 1/2 years old and is a corgi mix. She is just a sweetie.

just making herself at home
