Emmi Lou, the Dog of the Day
Name: Emmi Lou
Age: Six months old
Gender: Female Breed: Boston Terrier
Home: South Carolina, USA
 
   This is my sweet little girl Emmi Lou. She's smart, funny, and most of all loving. Her favorite thing to do, besides eat (she's a piglet) is sleep on her Momma or Daddy's lap. Though she snores a little, it's the most adorable snore you'll ever hear!

    Emmi has two older brothers, big older brothers; Hugo, a Boxer-Shepherd mix and Berkley, a Lab-Collie mix. She absolutely adores Berkley. She will follow him everywhere he goes and loves to pester him til no end. Hugo just lays back and watches little Emmi harass poor Berkley... (the same way Hugo did to Berkley just two years ago). It amazes me how much patience seven-year-old Berkley has for Emmi.

    Our short time with Emmi has not been all pleasant. A few weeks ago Emmi started acting really strange. She certainly wasn't herself. We thought that maybe she got into something and had been poisoned. I took her to the emergency vet that day to be safe. After lots of poking and prodding, the Vet told us she had Parvo. I was heartbroken. I couldn't believe this had happened my little Emmi. I have no idea how she got it, or where, but she did. The vet told me she a 50% chance of survival. Lucky for us, we caught it early and fought it aggressively, and Our Little Emmi made it through! I really do believe she's here for a reason, and I love her more than words can express!

   She truly is my sunshine.
