Christmas morning is always fun with Emma around. She really, really loves to find her new toys. This particular Christmas holds dear memories for us as it was Darwin's last one. He passed away on New Year's Day 2010 at the ripe old age of 12 3/4. We'll really miss him and Emma has been lonely without him.
At any rate, here's the entire video straight from my camera:

We'll see you on the other side, Darwin. Thanks for all your love.
He was obviously enjoying his last Christmas.
Little Miss Emma looked as if she wanted to package all her toys back into one bag so she could take them all at once off to her spot.
thanks for sharing your very memorial moment with the pups.
Your blog keeps getting better and better! Your older articles are not as good as newer ones you have a lot more creativity and originality now keep it up!
Oh, goodie ...
emma's getting a brother ....

(can't you hear that sing-song voice)
More accurately, Emma's getting a sister!
We've already put in our request to adopt a female from the next litter produced by a dam and sire with longhair recessive genes. If we're lucky the combination of longhair/female will be available. If not, we'll go for a female smooth coat from the litter.
oh ... not a good idea!
two females -- competing for top-dog position ???
not a good idea ...
not a good idea ...
emma would feel so much happier without another 'bitch' around ...
and the new one wouldn't have to defend himself as much ...
LOTS of experience here ...
hope you'll do more research!
I've not heard of this being an issue, but I'll do some research. Emma was definitely alpha with Darwin, poor ol' doggy. I don't think gender will matter too much - Emma is probably going to be alpha from the getgo, male or female puppy.
Emma has already shown you what she'll accept & I suspect a sister isn't in her plans:
