October 2004 - "Here she is again! Emma is very proud and so are we!"

March 2005 - "Had to share this with you, Tom and his "best friend" went bird hunting yesterday!!"

July 2006 - "Here is another picture of Emma, who says spaniels aren't great water dogs? She can hold her own with any Lab in a duck marsh and runs them into the ground while hunting pheasants. She has the greatest nose I have seen, in fact when we hunt with only one dog on a field and the guys I hunt with have labs when we're done with a field they say "go get that crazy spaniel and see if we missed any" usually Emma picks up another bird or two."

April 2006 - "Emma is doing well. She has really been a joy for us. She took very well to house training and behaving in the house. I was a little surprised by her size. She was just under 20 pounds at 5 months and our vet said he would be very surprised if she ended up being over 30 pounds mature weight. She seems to be a very happy and healthy pup. I am excited for our rainy season to stop so we can get her out more and start working her on some released birds..."

January 2006 - "Well, it’s been a very busy few weeks since the pup arrived and we are getting to know one another."

"We’ve named him Finney and within a day he knew that was him. He’s a very sharp little guy, learns extremely fast and exhibits such a determination to do things himself. Within the brief time we’ve had him, he’s learned to climb our front stairs (now, of course, he skips up them like he’s always done that) and is learning the basement stairs which are steeper. He loves to run and is great at amusing himself. He knows where his treats are kept (learned that one immediately) and happily sleeps in his kennel when we are not home, and each night. The kennel we bought is a metal collapsible type, not the solid fiberglass ones. He can see everything. During the day the kennel is placed in a bright south-facing room; at night it is in our bedroom where he is happiest sleeping. And what a well-behaved little puppy he is at night! He sleeps all night, no fussing. Terry usually gets up once and takes him out quickly and then Finney goes right back to sleep."

"We are so happy with him. He’s energetic and very affectionate, loves to play hard and then snuggle up in a lap and sleep. One of our cats is quite interested in Finney. In fact, she’s the one who was teaching him how to go down the basement stairs. She thinks he’s our previous Springer, come back in a smaller form, and she can’t believe her luck, as they were very close. Our other cat is not at all happy about the situation and is keeping himself mostly in the basement, though he’s not put off enough to avoid the bedroom and sleeping with us. He just tries to avoid the dog, but he will come around."
