The Adventures of Emma

While we have been doing a whole lot of nothing, we have also been entertained by the ongoing adventures of Emma.  The first being her introduction to broccoli.  She was excited when it fell on the floor and we didn't take it from her, but watching her figure out what to do next with it was pretty hilarious!  She walked around with it in her mouth like it was a ticking bomb and then put it on the floor and batted it around the kitchen for a while.  Finally, she cautiously began to pull it apart and eat it, and surprisingly (well not so much since she's our little garbage disposal), she ate the entire thing!

The next adventure was when I got an email from Eric at work telling me not to be alarmed if I got home before him and saw a bloody/scabby pup.  Apparently, while Eric was home for lunch, Emma was on the back porch and launched herself off it in typical maniac fashion to chase a squirrel in the backyard.  Unfortunately, she wiped out on her land on the sidewalk and took a patch of hair off the bottom of her mouth, and gave herself a bloody fat lip (which a few days later is still puffy).  I'd say she won't do THAT again...but we all know she will.

Finally, last night after Eric & I dined at Red Robin (yum), he grabbed a balloon to bring home for Emma.  It has been a while since we've done this for her, because she loves them and goes a bit crazy, but we decided that we'd treat her tonight, and after doing this several times in the past, we finally got a bit of the craziness on video this time.
