This clip of Emmy and SteelyKid is actually from almost two months ago-- I posted it on Emmy's Facebook page, but not here. But it's still cute, and ought to give SteelyKid's adoring public something to tide them over until we get our DSL back and I can post this week's Baby Blogging.

You've read the blog, now try the books! How to Teach Physics to Your Dog is published by Scribner, and available wherever books are sold. How to Teach Relativity to Your Dog is published by Basic Books and will be available 2/28/2012, as foretold by the Maya.
"Uncertain Principles" features the miscellaneous ramblings of a physicist at a small liberal arts college. Physics, politics, pop culture, and occasional conversations with his dog.
"Prof. Orzel gives the impression of an everyday guy who just happens to have a vast but hidden knowledge of physics." (anonymous student evaluation comment)
Emmy is a German Shepherd mix, and the Queen of Niskayuna. She likes treats, walks, chasing bunnies, and quantum physics.

Don't forget Emmy's adoring public. We got needs too.
Posted by: David Owen-Cruise | July 17, 2009 3:16 PM
Thanks for adding some much needed cuteness to my day. Is Emmy's interest in SteelyKid correlated in any way with the chance that SteelyKid might have something worth licking off her face like food?
Posted by: Kate W. | July 17, 2009 4:43 PM
No, Emmy just wants to lick her 24/7.
Posted by: Kate Nepveu | July 17, 2009 4:53 PM
So, is it my imagination, or was Steelykid actually requesting repeated face-lickings?

That's certainly how Emmy interprets it...
Posted by: Chad Orzel | July 17, 2009 5:00 PM
Was Emmy licking YOUR face in between? Sure sounds like it.
