Coming home


Hi, my name is Emily. I’m an English Springer Spaniel puppy. I decided to start this blog from the day I went to my stay-home - probably the most important day of a dog’s life. Breeder-dad delivered me and four of my brothers and sisters to our new parents when we were nine weeks old.
Breeder-dad provided my new pack leaders with a puppy-pack containing info and the special food which we’d been eating till then
After a short farewell I joined my new parents on the trip to my new home. For a moment I felt very nervous (all you other dogs out there will understand). Fortunately Breeder-dad is a serious dog lover and I knew he would not send me to any home if he had not done a thorough screening. 
He was right. New-Mom and Dad are serious dog lovers as well and the rest of my first day was a blast. I think any other pup will probably pass out after half an hour of exploring a new home, but I am a Springer and our energy starts where other dogs’ stop. 

So many things to explore
  And that is how I got my name. My new parents named me after Amelia Earhart. Apparently she was an explorer and adventurer. They say that from the very first day they got me, I was running around like crazy, exploring everything and (ad)venturing off everywhere. How they got from Amelia to Emily, only people will know. 

I can already jump onto the couch
Anyway I think it is a cool name and somewhere deep inside me my Instinct Voice is telling me that exploring and adventure is GOOD. And it was. For the next five days, Mom and Dad did not go hunting (they call it working, but it’s much too much fun for that!) and we had wonderful times at my new home with new toys and a whole new world to explore. 

And the couches are so comfy
I’m only a pup and I still have a lot of things to learn, but more about that next time.
Keep the tails wagging and have fun – Life is an adventure
Emily
