Zzzzzzz....

An A to Z Challenge from the point of view of the newest member of the family...Emmie is a 4-ish year old pit bull mix that we rescued on March 20, 2015.

Now that I have a forever home, I have made myself comfortable.  When I'm not being silly, or greeting my humans when they come home, or barking at home appliances and instruments, or spying on people, or playing with my rope, or going outside, or giving kisses, or eating out of my Kong, or being undeniably cute, I enjoy sleeping...

I even fall asleep when I'm supposed to be doing my perimeter checks at the front window!

Yogurt

An A to Z Challenge from the point of view of the newest member of the family...Emmie is a 4-ish year old pit bull mix that we rescued on March 20, 2015.

I love yogurt!  My mommy once tried to mix bananas in with it...yuck!  I definitely don't like bananas.

Do you have a favorite snack?

Xplosion

An A to Z Challenge from the point of view of the newest member of the family...Emmie is a 4-ish year old pit bull mix that we rescued on March 20, 2015.

My mommy says that I made too much of a mess with my rice.  I don't see what the problem is...

Do you have messy eaters in your house?

WiggleButt

An A to Z Challenge from the point of view of the newest member of the family...Emmie is a 4-ish year old pit bull mix that we rescued on March 20, 2015.

The humans call me wigglebutt, among other names.

What makes you this happy?

Vashta Nerada

An A to Z Challenge from the point of view of the newest member of the family...Emmie is a 4-ish year old pit bull mix that we rescued on March 20, 2015.

The humans think I'm crazy, but I'm hunting the Vashta Nerada!  They live in the shadows!

Katie here...if you don't know what the Vashta Nerada are, then go here...it's a Doctor Who reference.  Yup, Emmie is a Doctor fan too.  That's the real reason why we adopted her ;)

Are you a Doctor Who fan?

Undeniably Cute

An A to Z Challenge from the point of view of the newest member of the family...Emmie is a 4-ish year old pit bull mix that we rescued on March 20, 2015.

Seriously...this face...how can anyone resist me?  I have my new humans wrapped around my little paw :)

Who is undeniably cute in your life?

Trumpet Hater

An A to Z Challenge from the point of view of the newest member of the family...Emmie is a 4-ish year old pit bull mix that we rescued on March 20, 2015.

My human brother plays this scary thing called the trumpet.  I don't like it very much!

Do you play any instruments?

 

Selfies

An A to Z Challenge from the point of view of the newest member of the family...Emmie is a 4-ish year old pit bull mix that we rescued on March 20, 2015.

My human brother and sister like to take selfies with me.  I don't mind.

My human dad totally photobombed this one!

Who do you like to take selfies with?

 

Rope

An A to Z Challenge from the point of view of the newest member of the family...Emmie is a 4-ish year old pit bull mix that we rescued on March 20, 2015.

I love my rope toy! 

Do you have a favorite hobby?

 

Quiet--I Think Not!

An A to Z Challenge from the point of view of the newest member of the family...Emmie is a 4-ish year old pit bull mix that we rescued on March 20, 2015.

My mommie says that I make a lot of noise when I sleep.  I don't hear a thing!

Do you have a snoring dog?  Or a snoring human?

 

Pitball

An A to Z Challenge from the point of view of the newest member of the family...Emmie is a 4-ish year old pit bull mix that we rescued on March 20, 2015.

Sometimes I like to curl up in a ball to keep warm and cozy.  My humans think it's funny to call this position "the pitball".  My humans are weirdos.

Do you have a favorite sleeping position?

• I was mentioned on another blog!  This is always extremely flattering and makes this blogging thing seem worthwhile :)  Go to Tyrean's blog @Everyday Writer, Tryrean Martinson and check out her post!  And try not to laugh too hard when she calls me a lady :)
• Tomorrow is my 200th post!  Woot!

Outside

An A to Z Challenge from the point of view of the newest member of the family...Emmie is a 4-ish year old pit bull mix that we rescued on March 20, 2015.

Going outside is one of my very most favorite things! Sometimes my human brother plays ball with me...I love it!

What do you like to do outside? 

Nosy Parker

An A to Z Challenge from the point of view of the newest member of the family...Emmie is a 4-ish year old pit bull mix that we rescued on March 20, 2015.

I really enjoy sitting on the bench at the front of the house and looking out the window.  From here, I can see the neighbors and bark at them accordingly.  This spot even allows me to see when my human brother and sister are coming home!

Do you have a favorite "look out spot"?

Monkey Blanket

An A to Z Challenge from the point of view of the newest member of the family...Emmie is a 4-ish year old pit bull mix that we rescued on March 20, 2015.

The first night I came to my new home, my human sister thought I looked cold, so she covered me with a warm blanket.  It's my favorite blanket and now I get to keep it in my bed with me all the time.  

What kindness has someone done for you that you will always remember?

 

Leash Training

An A to Z Challenge from the point of view of the newest member of the family...Emmie is a 4-ish year old pit bull mix that we rescued on March 20, 2015.

Apparently, the humans won't let me walk in front of them while I'm on my leash...what a bunch of jerks!

Do you have any annoying rules that you have to follow?

Kong

An A to Z Challenge from the point of view of the newest member of the family...Emmie is a 4-ish year old pit bull mix that we rescued on March 20, 2015.

If you've never heard of a Kong, and you have a dog, then you should definitely get one for your furbaby.  My Kong is my favorite chew toy.  My mommy fills it with all different kinds of treats.  I love when she puts yogurt in there or a frozen pumpkin treat.  Yum!

What is your favorite toy or treat?  

Just Chillin

An A to Z Challenge from the point of view of the newest member of the family...Emmie is a 4-ish year old pit bull mix that we rescued on March 20, 2015.

A favorite pastime of mine is chillin out on my human's sun porch. I'm allowed to lay on the couches out there, so I usually lay wherever I can catch the most rays. Dogs need sunshine and Vitamin D too!

Do you have a favorite place to chill out and relax?

Ice Maker

An A to Z Challenge from the point of view of the newest member of the family...Emmie is a 4-ish year old pit bull mix that we rescued on March 20, 2015.

The humans use this machine that they call an ice maker.  It makes a lot of noise, so I bark at it.

Do you have any scary machines in your house? 

Celebrate The Small Things -- April 10

It's Friday and I'm Celebrating The Small Things!  The brainchild of Viklit, Celebrate The Small Things is a weekly celebration where some bloggers have decided to post about something worth celebrating...no matter how big or small it is.  I am thrilled to co-host this wonderful bloghop!

This week I'm celebrating:

• we left Emmie for the first time alone in the house and she did pretty well.  I've noticed over the past few weeks that she has slight separation anxiety.  She follows me everywhere...even waits outside the bathroom door while I shower :)  She has real anxiety when it comes to the crate, so we've kept the door off of it and let her go in and out at her discretion.  So locking her in the crate while we left her alone wasn't an option.  We were gone for almost 2.5 hours and came back to our home intact.  She looked so scared when we came home and actually peed a little bit when we first came in.  I think it was submissive peeing.  This was her first accident in the house!  Poor girl...I think she was really frightened that we left her for good :(  We gave her lots of extra love and attention for the rest of the day.
• almost two weeks into the A to Z Challenge and all is going well!
• my mobility is getting better day by day!  I've been able to do light housework for the past couple of weeks...load the dishwasher, do laundry, vacuum (a room at a time).
• the forecast for the weekend is sunny and the high 60's!  My favorite weather!

Homecoming

An A to Z Challenge from the point of view of the newest member of the family...Emmie is a 4-ish year old pit bull mix that we rescued on March 20, 2015.

My humans made me a sign. I can' read it, but it sure looks pretty! It was hanging on the door the day I came home.

I'm so happy that I finally have a forever home.

Have you ever rescued an animal?

Guests

An A to Z Challenge from the point of view of the newest member of the family...Emmie is a 4-ish year old pit bull mix that we rescued on March 20, 2015.

Since coming to my new home, I've met a lot of new people. The other day, my new human brother had one of his friends come over with his puppy, Bella. I think Bella was a little intimidated by my size at first, but she warmed up to me and we had fun smelling my backyard. I can't wait to have another puppy play date with her! 

Who do you love spending time with?

Face Licks

An A to Z Challenge from the point of view of the newest member of the family...Emmie is a 4-ish year old pit bull mix that we rescued on March 20, 2015.

When they least expect it, I sneak a quick face lick! It's one of my favorite things to do. My humans are too slow for me! Bwahahahaha!

Easily Distracted

An A to Z Challenge from the point of view of the newest member of the family...Emmie is a 4-ish year old pit bull mix that we rescued on March 20, 2015.

While on a walk the other day, I saw a bird and tried my very best to get it, but didn't get far since the humans insist that I walk on a leash. But in my excitement, I got distracted from walking and went chest first into a fire hydrant! Why do the humans put those things right in the middle of the walking path?

Anyway, my plan to hunt down one of those birds is still on. One day...
