Shimmer Visits Daughter Emma ;o)

It was a beautifully sunny day and Emma was surprised by a visit from her biological mom "Shimmer" for some playtime down at the pond ... at this point Emma at 15-16 weeks is not swimming out from the dock, but watches the "big girls" swim out to retrieve bumpers ... she seems to have a very relaxed lil' "motorboat" swim from the kayak in to the dock, but thus far she is just stepping off the dock onto the shallowly submerged flat rocks, walking back and forth or pawing out at the deeper water ... she'll do it in time ;o)

That's My Mom Out There ;o)

Don't Slash Me Mom!

OK Mom Now Let's Run ;o)

Sutter (L) Margo, Willow and Emma (front)

Two days ago I spent all day, before and after going to watch "Foster" Margo strut her stuff at a local Dog Show, preparing this Blog photo entry and finished it by day's end, only to have something go wrong and all was lost ...
Grrrrrr, slow, slow Dial-up computer!!! Now let's just see how many household projects I can get done while the photos upload this time ;o)

So here goes the second attempt and hopefully it will be even faster/better ;o)

First Day of School ;o)

I'm Happy When I'm Kayaking!

I Won ... I Beat Willow!

It's been amazing to watch the weekly changes in this sweet pup and how quickly she is learning ... Emma first day of school was thrilling ... she just seemed to excel in her lessons of "Basic Pet" ... a class of 6 older pups/dogs ... we went equipped with her training bag full of toys for chasing & tugging and different chew bones to keep her interested ... when it came time to go out the door, she balked and wanted to "go back for more" ;o)

Watch the Teacher!

Yummm ... Blueberries ;o)

Got the Big Girl Bumper!

Ahhh ... Snuggly Blankie After a Swim ;o)
