Emmett





Todd and I are very sad today because we had to take Emmett to the vets for one last trip.
He was a perfect dog! He never had an accident in the house, even as a puppy. He never chewed any furniture. He was always friendly to guests and children and babies. He was a perfect "gentleman" dog. People really loved him and would stop us on the street because they had never seen a dog like him. We called them the "Little Big Dog". We will really miss him. We will miss seeing him run and get a stuffed toy for us whenever we came in the front door. He has been with us for 15 1/2 years. For a Shar-pei, that is almost twice the lifespan! Luckily, he had a little lab blood in him to give him that hybrid vigor. I think Spot will miss him too. He was her best pal and they had lived their whole lives together.

What beautiful pictures of Emmett and the other dogs. I hope you and Todd can look back on all the happy times you had with Emmett. Keep up the great photography!

Sorry to hear about the old boy. Seeing how weak he was the last time I was there he's probably happier now in doggy heaven. It's always a shame when the photogenic ones pass on.
