I thought I’d add a few pics of one of the main characters in this blog, the intelligent, exuberant, into-everything, always entertaining, tries hard to be good but attracts trouble like a moth to a flame, chewing champion, my Golden Destroyer EmmaLou. Most of these have been included somewhere in this blog.
I'm just layin' here being good
I'm sorry I pulled the stuffin' outta my toy, Mom
I think I'm gonna like living here
Another day, another chew toy
But, I love you, Mom
All this grass...and it's all mine!
I'm so patriotic
I thought we agreed, no bows or bandanas?
My couch...my rules
What? Is it supper time?
What can I say - I didn't mean to rip it apart
I'd rather have the couch
Hi Mom, I'm right here if you need a lick
My mug shot from when I ate the glove, heeheehee
I fit in Mom's office chair, so there
Mom just left and it's still warm, sigh...
Why did she put that thing next to me?
Snoozin' in Mom's office
Hey, Mom's tryin' to work- ooh a rabbit!
look what my friend Laura did w/EmmaLou
The pic above was done by Midwest Mom or if you follow Twitter, she’s known as Blindfaith73 – a very cool lady in my book. She got this idea from a cool site, http://photofunia.com. Try it yourself. She sent another one – see below.
she's priceless alright!
Emily's painting of EmmaLou
my duck makes such a nice pillow
The Reddi-Whip queen
I want a cookie NOW
You can't hide that cookie from me forever
Peekaboo
Enuf with the pics; just go away & let me sulk
Mom can't believe I ate the whole loaf of bread!
yes I ate the other foot off my duck, you gotta problem w/that?
I'm pouting coz Mom got mad at me for chewing off my stuffed duck's foot
home is where my duck is
You are entirely too close to MY duck
okay that is an acceptable distance from my duck
Here you can have the duck, just put the camera away please
guarding the steps so no one bothers Mom's study time!
Stair guarding duty makes me tired
The password to get by me is Swordfish, but I'm not supposed to tell. Oops!
Duck and I will guard the door; you stay in the room and study!
Finish studying then you might want to clean that bookcase Mom!
always by Mom's side
You study; I'll nap - wake me when it's play time please
my Twitter bud @Blindfaith73 calls this one she made a "feathered EmmaLou" no doubt from the PETA blog post! Thanks, Laura!

I thoroughly understand why you love her so much and you know she is basically a sweet baby, she just has “moments” that drive you nuts. :0)
I like the pic you used for your new header of her. She looks right at home.
Yep – that’s my fur-child. The header pic was taken in my home office on my “reading” chair – I was in the “working” chair at the time over at my armoire desk doing homework when she just wandered in and made herself at home, promptly took a little snooze and I had to snap a pic. She has since learned that chair is “off limits’. She often looks at it longingly when we’re upstairs though.

Aww…these photos are so cute. My favorite is the mug shot one
Hi Nish – EmmaLou is pretty photogenic – sometimes, though, she’s not in the mood to have her pic taken and we have to work on posing for awhile – takes lots of treats; she has me well trained!

Oh… EmmaLou. You are gorgeous. I am looking down the hall at my good bad dog, who is also my bad good dog, Okemo. He is a Golden, like you, and just a tad spoiled. He loves to gut stuffed animals and scatter their innards. He likes to maul the cat. He enjoys stealing pound cake off the kitchen island. Here he comes now. I’ll show him your picture.
EmmaLou thanks you for the kind compliment – she likes to think she’s somewhat cute. When her alpha human finds her primping in front of the mirror she reminds EmmaLou it’s what’s on the inside that counts…unfortunately what’s on the inside of EmmaLou is frequently a trinket or piece of furniture that belongs to the alpha human. Okemo sounds like he must be EmmaLou’s long lost brother. She’s a great innards scatterer – it’s on her resume. She’s never tasted pound cake but she once ate about a pound of cake she stole off the counter. She’s the best counter surfer around – wow if there was an Animal Olympic event in counter surfing, EmmaLou would take the Gold(en) Medal. Thanks for visiting! Cheers!

That reminds me of Zeus! Except, he now has a squeaky fish that fits in the palm of my hand and he expects me to play tug of war with him with that?! Is he crazy?!
They’re all crazy – that’s what we love – hang on I have a couple new pics to post here.

Oh my, she’s just so cute and funny.
I don’t know what I’d do without her and her crazy antics. She keeps life happy here.

Might have to change her name to Emma Lou Golden Protector LOL
What a sweet and amazing fur baby
She is a great protector – she never leaves my side when I need her – she seems to know when her special brand of love and comfort is most required and she just makes a beeline for me and won’t leave. Today she’s snoozin’ downstairs in the family room w/Devoted Spouse who may also be snoozing as she got him up at 4 a.m. for her potty break and he never got back to sleep. She can be a little devil. But when ya gotta go, ya gotta go. Thanks for all your artistic creative computerized renderings of my fur-child – you are so cool to do this and any time you want to further experiment, feel free to keep using any of her pictures you like – just send me a copy so I can give you credit and put it here on EmmaLou’s bloggydoggie page! Hugs!
