New Friend

Meet Emma the kelpie.






Scottie and Emma are already well acquainted cos S stayed with Emma's owners when we were away. Now it's our turn to return the favour. We've got her till Wed night.

There's something about petsitting that's so nice. It sort of says you're deemed worthy and responsible enough to care for someone else's pet!

Emma is camera-shy, loves people and gets along enormously well with Scottie. That's saying a lot, cos Scottie is very turf-conscious.

I've never had a big dog before. I get nervous when they jump on me, but I'm getting used to it now.

I let the dogs in this morning when the gardener came by (else they'll jump on him), and Emma immediately put her head in my lap and nuzzled me while I was reading. Awshucks...

It's really interesting how having another dog in the house alters the dynamics of the household.

The girls have taken well to Emma, especially J, who likes to call out (as she does in this video),"Emma, where are you?"
