Emmitt LOVES his Painting!


Hi Everyone!

Emmitt here!
See how my tail is blurry in the photo? It is because it is wildly wagging with joy!

I am so excited! My birthday present from Auntie Nancy just arrived!

My momma was so excited that she ripped open the box and framed the picture before I could blink! :)

(She was a picture framer for 15 years and has never felt so much joy while framing a picture!)



We hung it in our hallway with all of our family pictures!


Although I love my momma more than anything, I had to put my paw down.

Momma, this is MY painting!


... but I will share it with you. :)

Thank you Auntie Nancy!

We will cherish it forever!

Hi Emmitt...
My mom has pic of me, (popcorn), and my brothers fudge and milo on the wall. Kiwi has a pic too. Mama has to get Little Foot done and we will all be on the wall. I like the pic and think it is grand that you are on the wall with the rest of the family.
