News & Updates
We have made some big changes to the photo gallery!
First, we have changed the gallery theme as well as the banner at the top. Second, the "Bryce" album has gotten SO large, that we had to rearrange the entire gallery! Now, the Bryce album is a category! Not even I know what that means but it is bigger! Since it is now a "category" it is located UNDER all of the other albums. So if you cant find it, LOOK DOWN :)
This might not sound like a lot, but it sure was a big task and improvement!
Thanks for your continued support!

Hello everyone! We have updated the site! We have uploaded two new videos and some pictures. The first video if from Emma's 3rd birthday on May 6th. The second video is from the Washington Humane Society's 20th Annual Bark Ball. The Bark Ball is a black tie event held every year for dogs and their "guardians". We have also uploaded the pictures from the birthday and the Bark Ball.

We are pleased to announce that EmmaNet is now back online! After a LOT of frustration we have managed to get Emmathedog.com's mailing list back up and running. Current users will now be receiving messages, and new users are now able to sign-up. We are sorry that it took so long to fix.

We have updated many of the website pages so they have the new site theme. We have also added more pictures to the Gallery here and there but mostly to the Bryce category.

Hey everyone! Sorry that there haven't been updates in almost a month! We've been a little occupied in planning a summer project. Anyway, we just got a brand new Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT. It's one of those professional SLR cameras that take really high quality photos. Well, the point is, that now we can take better and more sophisticated pictures of the world's best dog! So be looking in the photo gallery for new photos. The categories that will be most updated are "The Cabin", "Emma at the Pool", and "Portraits". The other categories will be updated as well, but these are the categories that we get the most pictures of! Thanks to everyone for your continued support to Emmathedog.com!

Emmathedog.com's Game Beta Center
We have some exciting news! We have released the second beta test of Bone Buster and it is available at the Game Beta Center. At the Game Beta Center, when available, you can download beta tests of current games. This helps us because users may find bugs or glitches. When this happens, they fill out a 'bug report', we read it and fix the problem. All you have to do to participate in the beta tests is to create a Beta account by clicking here. When you receive your account details, you may log in and start testing! It helps us and is fun for Emmathedog.com visitors. Currently, the only game available for testing is Bone Buster Beta 2. Thank you and have fun!

We have some new news about Emma's Video Game. First, we are planning to create about 3-4 different games like Bone Buster, Bones, and King KONG. The beginning plan was to have all of the games packaged into one program. Instead, we are going to have all the games packaged separately. This is better for downloading. The current game that is in production is Bone Buster. Unfortunately, we also have to announce that we have delayed the release of Bone Buster. We have to re-create all the levels because of a new feature we are adding called the Dashboard. It is a small screen at the bottom of the playing area that show all game information: time left, lives, music changer and more. Keep checking back for more updates!

New Art Director
Great news! Emily (last name withheld) has excepted our invitation to become Emmathedog.com's Art Director. She is an AMAZING artist! Especially at digital art programs like Adobe Photoshop. Her job will mainly be making the site more graphical (in a good way, no violence). We are very happy to have Emily on our team and look forward to lots of great art!

Introducing... Emma's Dog House!
Hello everyone! We apologize for not updating the site as often as we would have liked, bet things have come up. We were also slowed down because we have changed the FUN GOODIES page to EMMA'S DOG HOUSE! Emma's Dog House also has its own domain name. This means that instead of going to emmathedog.com/emmasdoghouse, you go to www.emmasdoghouse.com! We are very excited to announce this. Emma's Dog House is different because instead of text links, like the ones above, you are presented with a picture and you must click on a certain object on the picture to go the that area. This is brand new, so there might still be some bugs. Again, we apologize for not updating the site as much as we'd like. Thank you to everyone for your continued support!
