Because there are some scary parts for Emma when her dad says guava melon and chihuahua, he makes sure to comfort her. His loving hands pet her throughout the story.
Emma’s whimpers, vocalizations, and facial expressions are adorable. Why she gets excited about this story, her dad explains, “This is a game we play with our Italian Greyhound, Emma. She is a sweety. She is also totally spoiled as my wife says (she blames me for the spoiling). For some reason, certain words make her ‘roo’. Her main words are Guava Melon, Chihuahua, and MAMA. Also if you make like Pavarotti and sing opera she will go off. (Pretty much anytime I sing she starts howling.) So I made a little Halloween story for her. She got extra treats for this.”
Take a peak and watch as Emma reacts to the story her dad tells her.
