Emma Day-To-Day

I forgot how much I like Matt Cullen.  All season he's been playing better and better.  He reminded me by getting an assist (treat!) and a goal (another treat!) last night.  I like him a lot but how can Rutuu not be my favorite.  Roo! Roo!

Tonight I watched the Carolina Hurricanes play the New York Rangers. The beginning of the game was uneventful but Ryan Bayda scored about halfway through the first period while I was watching.  Mom said,"Woo hoo!" and Hannah and I each got a treat.  

This morning I worked on removing the squeaker from Hannah's toy.  I love to remove squeakers and normally do that promptly.  I think that Hannah may have hidden this toy from me though because I know that it's been in the house for a while now and somehow the squeaker remained intact. 

Last week I wrote about my fears of being contaminated by unsafe peanut butter. My fears were well founded.

Virginia Firm Confirmed As Source of Salmonella - WSJ.com: "On Tuesday, PetSmart Inc. recalled seven of its Grreat Choice Dog Biscuit products that contain peanut paste made by Peanut Corp. PetSmart said it wasn't aware of any cases of pets becoming ill from the products but has recalled them as a precautionary measure"

The FDA news release lists the details.

This photo of me was taken this weekend when we had weather much colder than normal for this area.  We had a fire in the fireplace.  Good stuff.

The other day, I mentioned that I ate a clementine and that I enjoyed it.  I asked Mom and Dad to help me create a video to show you how I do this.  I love clementines.  They are very good -- sweet and juicy!

Today is Inauguration Day and in support of our new President, I have created a poster of me in the style made famous by artist Shepard Fairey.  

Oh peanut butter
Sticky goodness in my mouth
Innocent treat

Friday night finds me sitting patiently while Dad grooms me.  It's rough having all of this fur sometimes.  My fluffiness does have it's advantages though:

• It's soft and people want to pet me
• It's beautiful and people want to pet me
• It's warm so that in the winter I'm all comfy even when it's really cold outside and Mom rides her bike in the house

I am feeling bad for Hannah.  She licked and licked and licked her leg and I told her not to do it.  Now she has an owie and Mom put green wrap on it.  Hannah was walking around like she has a broken leg or something after that.  This morning, her owie looks better so Mom is going to let her have the wrap off for now but if she starts licking, I think that she will have to wear it again.

Tonight the Hurricanes play the Sabres.  Go Canes!

Note to self:  Photoshoot

1. Remind Mom to take pictures of me this weekend.
   
2. Set up slide show with pictures of me and post to blog
3. Decide if photos of Hannah should be included in slide show
4. Be sure to ask to go outside as soon as Dad starts a DVD.  (He likes that.)

This morning mom was getting some movies to watch this weekend.  I guess it's too cold for her to ride her bike outside or something.  Anyway, she was going to get what she calls "stoopid movies" to watch while she is on her bike inside.  I reserved Dog Gone for her.  She should like that don't you think?  The star is clearly a lovely golden retriever.  Who wouldn't like it?

Last night Mom and Dad ditched us. Mom came home and we heard John Forsland's voice. A while later, mom yelled "Woo Hoo!" and put both hands up. We all went to the kitchen and got a treat. Mom did that a few more times.

I check the paper. Matt Cullen, Tuomu Rutuu, Eric Staal, and Scott Walker scored. Thanks guys!
