A Conversation with EmmyLou!

Yes, we are those crazy dog people.

(Tyler goes into the bathroom, shutting his shadow EmmyLou outside the door)

EmmyLou begins barking loudly

Tyler: “What is your problem?”

More barking, it sounds like she is throwing a fit…

Tyler: “EmmyLou, Quiet”

Now she starts whimpering

Tyler: “O baby girl you’re fine..”

At this point she gives up and I can her plop down outside the door, with one last pathetic whimper

Before I know it Tyler is walking into the living room caring EmmyLou and she is wagging her tail, happy as can be

sooo I was really hoping Tyler's first morning at his first real job would be smoother...

So, I love my dogs. I really do. They are like my little children, I have officially become one of those crazies that speaks in a high pitch voice and talks about her pets all the time. I get upset when someone says something bad about them, and even more upset if I think someone hurt them (cough our neighbor cough). Having a puppy is like falling in love with a two year old, that you are trying to potty train and bringing them home to destroy and pee all over everything you own, but when she sits and looks up at me I can’t help it..I melt and fall in love again.

LeRoy and EmmyLou are two of the best parts of my life, but they are a ton of work and when they are hurting it breaks my heart. Last night at 4:00 am (yes..4:00 am on the day my husband starts his new job) LeRoy starts vomiting..and crying and vomiting. It almost made me cry. So we were up at 4:00, 5:00, 6:00, and 7:00, and I was googling why a dog starts vomiting and EmmyLou was screaming because LeRoy wasn’t in his kennel. Tyler was super sweet and patient with our “son” despite LeRoy ruining his sleep the day he starts his new job. It was a disaster…but he is okay now, just super hungry! AND Tyler had a great first day, despite being up all morning!
