Emma, the Dog of the Day
Name: Emma
Age: One year old
Gender: Female Breed: Havanese
Home: Fort Wayne, Indiana, USA
 
   It's Valentine's Day, and the World's Sweetest Puppy gets the World's Biggest Toy! Meet Emma, our Havanese puppy. Emma's AKC name is Windfall's The Sweetest Thing. In our opinion, it fits her perfectly.

    Born February 16, 2007, Emma is from Windfall Havanese, whose dogs are raised in a loving home. Well-socialized from birth, Emma adapted to our family immediately.

    Havanese dogs are, by nature, people-oriented, loving, playful, and funny. Emma has a unique sense of humor. She is interested in everything we do, and wriggles her way in: between me and my book or between my husband and his woodworking project, so that she has a close-up view of what's going on.

    Every morning Emma wants an ice cube, and comes flying into the kitchen when she hears the ice tray rattle. Ice cubes are great for chasing, licking, and crunching! In the afternoon, Emma "delivers the mail." As each envelope is opened, we hand it to Emma, who shakes, shreds and scatters it in a blur of growling energy.

    Emma also knows how to read. Several weeks before Christmas last year, my husband and I heard paper tearing, and turned to see Emma enthusiastically ripping into the toy we'd wrapped and placed under the tree for her! The package was marked "To Emma, From Santa."

    In addition to knowing the names of her favorite toys and bringing each when asked, Emma obeys hand signals for "Sit," "Shake," "Down," and "Stay."

    With a name like The Sweetest Thing, Emma gets lots of Valentine's Day gifts, then will celebrate her first birthday two days later. Happy Valentine's Day to Everyone from The World's Sweetest Girl!
