Emmett - Adopted December, 2008

April 2009 - Emmett sent in his own update (what a smart boy!):

My name is Emmett, and I am a sweet beagle-boy. I was rescued by your organization, and then my Mama saw me and took me home! She said I was irresistable.

I luuuuv my new Forever home. My Mama loves me sooo much - and I always try very hard to be a good boy. I hardly ever bark, and I don't jump on people or lick them all the time. I just gently place my paws on them and look at them with my big eyes. It works great on Mama and on lots of other people too. I love to sit on her lap when she sits on the floor, and to snuggle in bed with her at night (she says I snore, but I don't ever hear anything). During the day, I hang with my new "peep" Panda. She's not a dog, and she's kinda bossy, but sometimes we sit on the couch together and nap. Mama says Panda is the Princess and I am her Jester.

Mama takes me for walks every day, and I am slimming down! Mama got me a raincoat so that I would not get too stinky when we walked in the rain. Mama also just bought me something called a life jacket - I am not sure what its for but Mama says it for a thing called a boat. We'll have to see in the spring if I like boating.

As you know, Mama's friends (who are now called my Aunties) threw a big party for me. There were lots of aunties scratching my belly and loving me up, and they gave me all kinds of treats and toys. They also gave treats and toys to my friends who are still looking for Forever homes - pretty neat!

Whew! Writing emails is pretty tiring when you don't have opposable thumbs. Time to go take a nap in my cuddly bumper bed on the living room chair. Thank you for all the love and care you gave me, and for helping me find a great home!

Love, Emmett

PS: Thanks to Mama for help with the spelling!

PPS: Mama says she wants to thank you too!
