Emmett is in full puppy mode and we are in our third version of puppy proofing the house.  The taller he gets, the more inquisitive he becomes about anything he can reach.

 

He's definitely the Jerry Lewis of the canine world and though very naughty at times he makes me laugh non stop.  Opening the refrigerator has turned into an Olympic event and seems to be a very popular game.   

My husband asked me the difference between Euro and American Great Danes and while looking for some side by side pictures to give him a visual I came across this and found it very interesting in a good way.

Today's Date - September 13th, 2014

Emmett is officially 6 months old today and it's been a very exciting week for him.  He's now a very solid 76 pounds and as tall as I am when he stands on his hind legs to kiss me. 

He's entering that funny phrase of life where the silliest of things either spooks him or he's overly cautious.  The other morning I took him for a walk and he noticed a fire hydrant for the very first time and there I stood smirking as he growled and barked at it for 10 minutes.  He also sniffs and barks at mailboxes that are different, recycle bins, trash cans and anything left near the road for bulk pick-up. 

 

                                    He's growing into an awesome watchdog

 

                                    

                     

and Rosie has been an excellent role model

 

The other day while out in the backyard, Rosie had that playful look in her eye and it's the first time I've seen that look since Emma passed away.  She was looking me dead in the eye and without thinking I said, "Make him run Rosie". 

It was the favorite game of all games between Rosie and Emma.  She would chase Emma all over the yard for 5 minutes at top speed and than they would wrestle.

When Emmett saw Rosie running at him full speed, he tucked his tail and the chase was on.  She caught him, nipped him in his hind quarters and he ended up rolling over and over.  Rosie stood over him wagging her tail as if to say, "Hey Dumbo, it's your turn to chase me now"!

I was pretty excited about it all due to the fact it was the first time that Rosie actually played with him.
