Angel Dachshund - NOT Emma!

No, this was not our Emma today. However, she did have a fantastic Christmas, starting with the anticipation of opening her presents. We went to the extra effort this year of keeping her gifts in the car so her snoot wouldn't be working overtime (i.e., she wouldn't be whining and fussing constantly for days on end that she wanted her toys!).

The said toys were retrieved from the car after Emma was put to bed last night. It took only seconds for her to notice the smell of fresh latex toys. That was the end of her time in our bed - she had to be kenneled for the night. Poor, poor Emma!

Emma's snoot - no wonder she has such a sensitive nose!




This morning she had to be fenced off in the kitchen while we waited for everyone to be ready for Christmas morning. She was sooooooo unhappy to be in there when she could smell her toys. At last the gate was opened and she went right to her toy bag. I did shoot some video footage, but haven't had time to process it today. I'll post it as soon as I can - promise!
