All joking aside, she's a great dog and we love her immensely. She's really turned into a quiet, mellow, loving dog. I just told Logan the other day that I'm so thankful he begged for a Golden Retriever. If not for his relentless begging, I never would have known how much I could love a big, hairy dog (who has totally ruined my beautiful hardwood floors, I might add!). Most of you know, I'm a small dog person and the very thought of a big dog that sheds was enough to turn my stomach. In fact, I told Logan during one of his begging sessions that I'd love for him to get a big dog--When he had his own house and no sooner! Ok, that was a week before we started looking!!!
Now, I wouldn't have it any other way. In fact, we've never had a dog so in tune to our human emotion. She just knows how we're feeling and she tries her best to be a part of it, whether I'm crying or laughing, she wants to help out. We're so lucky to have her!!!
There are certain people, including my own husband, who will say, "But isn't she so much work? Think of how peaceful your life would be without dogs" and my response to that is, "It's not what we give her as much as what she give us."
One movie line that comes to mind whenever I think of Emme and her boundless love for us is from "Up" when Doug the dog says, "I don't even know you, but I love you."
