The life and times of Miss Emma

Posted by: Sal

Hi everyone! We have had a couple of recent additions to our US family. The first is Grace, who has been with us for nearly 3 weeks now and has just about finished her work at the Duke Asthma and Allergy research centre. She now knows more about your airways than you ever wanted anyone to know. Those of you who know Gracie know that she's quite the cutie, but our second addition might just be the cutest newcomer to grace our household yet: an 8 week old puppy that Nic found stray in east Carolina. Nic seems to have wanted to call a dog Emma for several years, and since this lady wandered in from "down east" its only appropriate that she should be "Miss Emma" to most folks (and "ratbag", "sweetie", "bloody dog", "gorgeous", etc. to those of us in the privileged position of house training her).

The point of this blog post is really just this: to show you how darned cute she is. Enjoy!

How cute is this dog? Nic seems pretty darn happy she's wandered into our lives. She's working on her "tough" face, but the facade falls down when she sleeps.


Its cold here now, so Emma likes to sit inside Nic's jumper. Gracie manages her very well (left hand photo). And check out the little head resting on Laura's feet (right hand photo).
