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.
Just like the above glittery sign, my friend Laura did the street sign below – she’s so talented!!!
I’ve been playing with a piece of software called Fotosketcher from my friend Delaney and this is a pic of EmmaLou turned into a watercolor painting – Pretty cool effect.
Taken from a photo turned into an watercolor painting w/Fotosketcher
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'll take care of you while you're sick Mom
got any cheese? I could use a light snack
The above shot is also EmmaLou’s Twitter avatar for her Tweets @GoldenDestroyer
I'm bored
no rabbits outside today; think I'll just wait by the door in case
Caught her spreading Twitter rumors bad dog!
My pillow, my bed = nap time
why dogs shouldn't drink in public
I picked this bone out special for Hank's birthday over at Twitter #dudefest - the Jack's for me
Don't even think about touching my beer
One beer and I'm out...just like mom
I felt sorry for mom when she had a cold, but this stuff rocks! Hit me again!
EmmaLou & my IT guru friend Mike
it IS my couch - told ya so!
me and EmmaLou Dec 2010
Christmas 2010 she sneaked under the Christmas tree and snagged her stocking. She couldn't get the toy out and so used the stocking for a pillow!
Emma Lou is a beautiful fur baby.. so glad that you like it.. Thanks
Sweetie it just made my day! Thanks and MUAH!
I love this dog!
Ditto!
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.
Pingback: hmm-sweet-splendid-wisdom.com » Picture Of The Week.. EmmaLou aka The Golden Destroyer
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!
I was laughing so hard when I saw the pics of Emma Lou and her alcohol I snorted rofl!!! and Merlin is looking at me funny
I took those pics for a twitter party (pawty) for another dog. I laughed so hard while taking those pics and EmmaLou was so patient – she would NOT wear the baseball cap so I managed to get a pic of her trying to get the cap off her head and it looked like she was passed out on the couch and that made me laugh even harder! What a sweet tolerant pup she is. And what a great friend you are! Hugs!
Ummm…of course I love that you have a Golden named Emma Lou. I especially love that she’s your little “Destroyer.” So true, so true.
Emma is a lovely name be it for a Goldie or a nice new bloggy friend… Hugs!
Oh gosh! LOL I didn’t realize the dog’s name was EmmaLou. Beautiful dog and a witty mom with the pics.
On behalf of EmmaLou and myself, thank you!
Aw, she’s so pretty!
I will pass along that nice comment and watch EmmaLou’s head swell even more.
She’s a cutie. Tell her to share the Jack, tho….
She’ll share the Jack but you touch the bone or the Rolling Rock and you’ll be pulling back a bloody stump. LOL
hi! i see how cute your dog is, but im so sad i gotta name as your dog. i got insulted at some point too. but don’t worry i have nothing against you and your dog.
Hi! You have nothing to be sad about or insulted – many times people give their pets “human” names – and EmmaLou is a beautiful name for a lovely person such as yourself!! My husband actually named her Emma and I added on the Lou because it sounded happy to my ears. Hope that’s helpful. Thanks for visiting me!
Glad to see ya’ EmmaLou
EmmaLou sends *slurpy doggie smoochies* your way!
Such a beautiful girl! I can tell how much you love her. I adore Goldens.. our last two dogs were Goldens; both fabulous dogs. The first one, especially, was one of those once-in-a-lifetime amazing dogs. Miss him terribly. Our current dog is half Golden and half Yellow Lab, very sweet but kinda dumb. We love her anyway, lol.
yes, we love our EmmaLou! She’s a handful, but she’s brought so much love to us and she always makes us smile! Thanks for your comment.
I see a LOT of EmmaLou Love here… she is so sweet. The art work your friend did is cool!
thanks, looking through this page I see it’s been awhile since I added anything, so there’s another project on my list in the new year! Thanks for visiting!
LOLOL! Yoo rock, Emma Lou! Keep your chew on, datz my advize. Wuv en nubby tail wag, Wookie
Hi! Thanks for your visit. EmmaLou says, *smoochie* to you!
