^{Adventure lays outside your front door!}  

Do everything, See everything, Experience everything!

I joined the Canine Hikers group for a number of reasons.
Good exercise, new experiences and exposure to elements.
You can hike weekdays or weekends in our local mountain ranges.
It's a great club, friendly people, providing  safe experiences.
 

I am so here! I have been waiting for Splash Dogs
to come back to California. If you don't know what I am talking
about you SO have to go check out there website.





All this learning while you play
will aid in my goal to become part of a Crisis Team

There's a method to my human's decisions. She started gearing me early to become part of an Animal Assisted Crisis Response Team. There are many requirements in your first few years of life
that will help make you a better adult dog and ready for
emergency response. You need to be an experienced
and active member of a therapy program. (P.A.W.S.)
for a specific length of time. Then you should have as many opportunities as possible to new environments. (Hence, Canine Hikers and all the traveling that happens in my life.)
So that explains all the jobs I have.
Knowing your direction in life gives you an advantage,
and makes you able to best paw forward.

Their statement is:

The National Animal Assisted Crisis Response Teams
whose mission is to assist in the safe and effective
emotional rescue,
 recovery and ongoing support to individuals and responders
who have been affected by crisis or disaster.

That is a great objective.
 

^{I love the doggie beach bus!!!}

 Thank you so much Corey for all your time and efforts.

Take a ride from Tustin to Huntington Beach
It's the best way to have a fun day on the sand.

I started hanging around stars young!
Okay, so I joined the Orange County Astronomers Club,
but there were a lot of stars there!

My humans have a telescope and they take me with them to
"Star Parties". It is an honor to be allowed to attend as dog typically don't attend. Telescopes nowadays are computerized,
 GPS navigated, observatory-class pieces of equipment which can come with some pretty high price tags. They stand on tripods
and have many cords dangling around them and are set up to
use through the blackest nights you can find. You must
minimize ANY outside lights so even flashlights have dark paper over them so you can barely see. YOU MAY NOT KICK UP DUST. Astronomers HATE dust. You must keep your ground movements minimal or as the doggie rule goes: NO PLAYING AROUND.

I am proud of myself. I behave so well that they let me go to
all the parties. They even gave me my own membership.
Thank you Orange County Astronomers for the recognition of my good behavior and including me in your club membership. 

(Literally)
 

Emma's name has been associated with the star 
(RA 6h 49m 57s D-20' 9')
which is located in the Canis Major, the great dog.
Sirius marks Canis Major and
is known as the "dog star."
It can be seen in California during the spring months. 

This star is henceforth be know as Emma Zen Chiapuzio.
It will be permanently filed in The Registry's vault in Switzerland
and recorded in a book registered in the copyright office
of the United States of America.

MY NUMBER ONE  INTEREST...

 ^{TRAVEL, TRAVEL, TRAVEL!}

Somewhere in New Mexico

My humans never leave the house without me.
I participate in everyday errands.
We go on many day trips, hiking, parks, swimming,
dog activities, or anything else we can think of.
I spend about one weekend a month in a local hotel
and go RVing as much as possible.
I see something new everyday.
Each day regardless of where we are at
consist of of time to play, time to learn and time to share kisses.

 
I am a very balanced dog.

Emma Zen Chiapuzio

I am so lucky, I must go there three times a week!

Emma and a dog park friend.

I know, there is only one picture of dog park?
Well that is because Dog Park pictures could be a website
all unto itself. And yes, we have thought of starting that.
But at this point you'll just have to trust if we took pictures
every time we went there. The internet would probably slow down.

If you are making arrangements to meet us there.
You can request my Mom brings her camera!
I've never heard her say "no"

Only you can prevent forest fires

Uses your Sense's

1. Sight

2. Sound

3. Touch

4. Smell

5. Taste

How often do you
include your dogs
sense's in your activities?

Or maybe just walk on different textures! Like allowing play in the rain and mud!!!

When's the last time you sat and watch birds together?

Listened to a
 running stream?

Giving your dog
a massage?

Joined a
nose work class?

Tried something you've never
eaten before?

Just something
to think about

A well rounded dog enjoys challenges
that test their
physical ability.

Don't forget to
include something that challenges them mentally too.

Emma loves
Dog Twister!
 

The number one reason I would like to be a crisis dog is;

 "It's when a simple hug is appreciated
the most!"

The doggie bus
was an major
part of my
2nd Birthday

Even showing up
on the
party invitations

Thank You Corey
for your friendship
and making my
day so special!

My human said
he is going to
get me a little
boat someday
I am not to sure
about this

Signed,
The Dane part of me

It's not all
Fun & Games

I wasn't just
born this way

Even thought temperament
has a lot to do with it

A key role in my development is
Discipline

Obedience is a very important part of my being. And no matter where we are or how busy my human gets

We always take 15 minutes a day to go over our commands

It reminds me I am a dog and who is boss

It challenges my intellect which is an important role in my continuing development

It keeps me learning and reaching for
new heights

Hint: a bored dog gets into trouble!
