Emma Reunites With Her Biological Mom "Shimmer" ;o)

Shimmer & daughter Emma ;o)



"Hey Mom, do you remember me"



 It was interesting to watch Emma's reaction to her "biological" mom "Shimmer" over the course of a few hours ... she was submissive but kept seeking out her face/mouth ... even with other dogs out in the poolyard, when "mom" went back to her house crate, Emma kept going to the screen door to find her ... merely human interpretation or actual nature of the beast? 

"Hey, I remember you" ;o)

"I Can Swim!"




? A Big Tennis Ball ?

 

Whoooow !!!





Watching My Sisters "Sorbet" & Willow Swim!

Look at my mom GOOooooo ;o)

Emma Celebrates Her 10 Week Birthday ;o)

I Earned My Bell Today ;o)

"Em" was the best behaved lil' girl yesterday when she was examined by Dr Andy and she absolutely charmed the veterinary staff with her "cuteness" ... she got her 2nd shots, needed a wormer and tipped the scale at 12.8 lbs ;o)
Back in the 1970-80s when I raised a herd of purebred Saanen Dairy Goats, each doe wore a small brass Swiss bell ... now each Golden pup earns and wears one of those bells when they are "officially" accepted into the "Golden Embers" clan  ... Emma earned her bell this week and after a few minutes of trying to figure out the soft "ding-a-ling", she ran around wearing it proudly ... just like the "big girls" with their hunting bells (and it lets me know where she is in the yard) :o))

Oh, almost forgot SWIMMING ... since Sutter & Willow repeatedly want to retrieve "Bumpers" thrown way out onto the pond, we spend a good portion of the sunny days by the pond

Week 9 Has Been Exhausting ;o)

WEEK 9 HAS BEEN SO EXCITING for ALL & SO MUCH FUN to CAPTURE IN PHOTOS ;O))

doing yard work and kayaking ... Emma is swimming about 10 feet now from the kayak in to the dock ... she has the cutest lil' swim ... just like a little motorboat ... then she shakes and runs for a "rub n' roll" downhill on the ground blueberry bushes & groundcover! Photos next week, now that she seems to swim well and there's more time to focus the camera ;o)

Welcoming Emma Home ;o)

A few days shy of 8 weeks and weighing in at a whopping 8.2 pounds, Emma has grown enough to get her first vacinations and we welcomed our "Special" girl HOME ... she settles nicely into her X-pen at night, wakes to "potty" twice during the night and after a 1-2 minute fuss, settles right down till she hears us stiring come daylight ... she loves exploring, running with the "jugs-on-a-rope" and tries to run with the "big" girls, but hearing their "thunder", quickly retreats under the lawnchairs and just watches intently ;o)

Enjoy the Photo Story:
