You humans always talk about how busy you are and how much stress you have but have you tried living the life of Emma the GBGV? I think I am almost at my limit as far as what a dog can do in a day, or week, or month! Putting it simply, I’m working like a dog! I thought I would join in the Follow Up Friday blog hop this week to sum up what is happening at my dog house.
Last Friday Buddy arrived for his fifteen day stay at Emma’s B&B. We had some rotten weather the first few days but things have cleared up so we are happier being outside now. As usual, he is a bit tired from all the walking but he is having a nice vacation. He has also learned how to ring my doorbell…at first this made Mom really happy but now he just rings and rings and rings and Mom is about ready to remove the battery!
Monday was Mom’s birthday. We had a pawsome day and she thanks everyone so much for all the birthday wishes. She loved the cake but is now telling me she ate too much…humans…they are so hard to keep happy!
We are still actively searching for Snoopys in the Twin Cities. So far we have posted three. I think when we find the ones that are outside we will have about ten. Some are just Snoopy and some are Snoopy on his dog house. It really is a fun project finding them! If you have missed them, check my last three Wordless Wednesday posts. If you have no clue what I am barking about, click here to read about why I am searching for Snoopys.
Since I’m howling about Snoopy, I got my new Snoopy collar from England this week – Official Royal Mail. I just love it. We have searched for one for a long time and could not find one in the US. I order this from Snoopy’s Collars in the UK and they shipped it over to me. I am wearing it proudly!
Other than my usual day to day wabbit and squirrel hunting, and the items I mentioned above, I am in the end stages of getting my book ready to publish. It has been edited, the cover photo is done, my logo is done, now I have to finish finding all the photos, get the cover designed, and then publish. It has been fun, but Mom and I are ready to be finished. It will be coming out as an e-book and paperback this fall. Since I am a worldly dog, it will be available in many countries, but only in English. I have decided to call it something that suits me…Tales of a French Scent Hound. The book is based on my blog – a bit about my breed, and then short stories about me and my life. There will be lots of photos too! Please keep my book in mind for Christmas as it is really a book for kids to adults and will be sure to bring smiles and laughter to any recipient. Mom and I are super excited, and we have lots of fun marketing ideas lined up as well. Stay tuned to this blog for further information as it becomes available.
Today this post is a follow up Friday blog hop participant hosted by Heart Like A Dog and cohost I Want More Puppies.
You sure have been busy. Wish I had a BnB so pups could come and stay, we could play all day long. Have a super weekend xx00xx
Mollie and Alfie
It is fun having friend stay with us, but after a few days they just blend in with the family 🙂
Thanks for joining us for the blog hop Emma, it sure sounds like you’ve been a busy pup!
As you know I am way behind in reading blogs (internet service in the mountains and this stupid chrome book) so I apologize for missing Mom’s birthday. Please tell her happy belated birthday from me. I’m sure you made her day very special.
I’ve been seeing your pictures on facebook with your house guest and it looks like you are having a grand time, which is nothing less than I’d expect knowing your mom.
Have a great day and weekend and I look forward to your book!
Everyone needs a break sometimes. Reading blogs is a big job. Mom thanks you for the birthday greetings. She says that at her age, it isn’t as important as it used to be and often she would just like to skip it but I like to celebrate!
You and Mom are surembusy, busy, busy and we think your book is gonna be a goodie!
It will be a fun book for sure!
You are just as busy as any human, I swear it. I can’t wait to see more of your Snoopys!
I’m doing my best to sniff our as many Snoopys as I can!
EXCITING!!! I guess its good to be busy … Happy Friday and Weekend. Lots of Golden Woofs, Sugar
I think Mom and I would just like to have a day with lots of napping, but for now I am the one trying to nap for two 🙂 Happy Friday!
The door bell tricks sounds like fun! Although typist has to ask – how is he reaching it?
It is just above my nose height, so I ring with my nose but he stands on his back paws and uses his front paws to ring it non stop!!! We did not teach him, he figured it out on his own!
Sounds like great fun!
You must be very excited to have your book so near completion!
That doorbell sounds like fun and Buddy looks very happy.
Well, the doorbell was nice, but that non stop ringing is getting on our nerves…we don’t want to take the battery out because I use it politely as it should be used. We are excited and ready to get my book out at this point!
Oh Emma! You’ve been SO busy! But maybe after the book is published, you and Mom can take a nice, long break. Well, I know your paws will probably still be busy tapping away for the blog, but maybe a break from everything else. Who knows, though? After the book is out, you may be busier than ever! Uh oh, I can hear your Mom saying, “Shhhh… don’t say that!!’ BOL!
I think being done with the book will be a big relief as we are pressuring ourselves to finish it now. Once it is done there will be lots of marketing work, but that will be fun, or so we hope. We have some big plans, whether they work out or not, we shall see 🙂
Buddy is soooo cute! Awww. I am loving Emma’s leash!
Snoopy all the way at my place these days!
Busy girl! Looking forward to the book! I love your Snoopy collar!
Thanks, we are excited to see how it comes out!
Wowee, you are super duper busy. Whee have had quite a lazy wheek really! But then whee have trained the hoomans to do all the hard stuff for us!
Nutty, Nacho, Buddy & Basil

Well, that saying working like a dog has some truth to it at my house!
My head spins with all you do Emma…Had to laugh about Buddy ringing the doorbell…Your Snoopy hunt is just like geocaching and sounds like lots of fun…You’ve got mom curious now and she’s poking around to see if any of the Snoopy’s are also geocaches
We thought about it being similar to geo caching as we don’t have an exact location, just a general one. Some are easy, some more difficult. Let us know what you find out.
You are one busy dog, Emma! At least they all sound like fun things you are doing, even if they might seem like work sometimes. Hopefully you will get to relax a little once your book is published. We can’t wait to see it! I bet it is going to be a big hit. That is pretty funny about Buddy and the doorbell….I guess that was bound to happen with at least one dog! 🙂
Well, Mom says it is getting less funny by the minute. Buddy started it and I saw how great it works with you just hang on the bell, so now I am starting to do it too…oh boy…some fur might be flying here this weekend! On the brighter side, we are super excited for my book!
I don’t know how you keep up with everything Emma! You must be a really good organizer:) Have a great weekend!
Mom is over organized but even she is starting to have to write down more and more stuff 🙂
You really are busy, Emma! Great follow-up and I bet the photos in your new book are barking good!
Let’s say that I can tell Mom’s photography skills have improved over the years…but there are 120 great photos to go along with the reading 🙂
WOW you are super busy and Emma, you are super cute!
Thank you…blushing a bit under my facial fur…
You sure have had a busy week. I love when you find a Snoopy house.
The book sounds like it is coming along. Best of luck with it.
Those Snoopys have turned into a real project but it is fun.
We are a little slow on the uptake, but love all your activities. Belated happy birthday to your mom. We think you won’t get this, because this is one more glitch in our technical maelstrom. We love the new logo!!!!! I think we fixed the “password protected thing”, but we aren’t sure. -love, Matilda the greyhound
I got it! Mom thanks you for the birthday greetings 🙂 Hope things are improving on your site, bummer the move was such a mess! Thanks for stopping by!
We tried to come visit on Friday, wasn’t working out. Busy is good, and I can’t wait to see your book!
Great FUF post – I love that Snoopy collar!
Isn’t it cute! We have looked for one for so long and now I have my own!
Wow …. you HAVE been busy. Wonderful news about your book! How exciting for you (and your mom)!
And too funny about the doorbell. I’ve had “tricks” backfire on me too, namely when I taught Toby to “speak”. He got into this barking loop and sounded like a very loud broken record. Needless to say, I don’t ask him to perform THAT trick anymore!
P.S. Hope You Had A Happy Birthday Emma’s Mom. Sorry I’m late…I’ve been playing a bit of catch up!
Mom says thank you 🙂 Yes, that doorbell is becoming an issue and not necessarily a good one right now! Hard to concentrate on my book with that bell ringing all the time LOL!
Hey Emma
How awesome that your book is close to being finished!! I understand just how ready you must be for it to be finished! I can’t wait to read it and it will be on my Christmas list for sure!
Have a fun day
Your pal Snoopy 🙂
Sent it off to Paul yesterday 🙂 We are excited but nervous. The cover still needs to be done but first we need the page count. I may have to email you again with a few questions.
Wow Emma! That’s really exciting that you’ve written a book and it’s about to get published! Congratulations! Do you know Reuben of Floppy Tongue Joy? He wrote a book too. I’d like to write a book but I need my momma’s help and she’s really busy.
Garth
I don’t know Reuben, yet 🙂 The book has been more work than anticipated but it will soon be fun when it is finished. Maybe some day you can write one. It took longer than I would like because my mom is always busy with this thing called a job that she says is so important…humans! Thanks for stopping by and congrats on winning the BarkWorld package!
can’t wait to read your book Ems, sounds like you’re the one that needs a holiday though!
Mom and I are pretty pooped out, maybe some day we can just go napping for a few days but I doubt it!
