Emma 5 Weeks - Looking Like a Real Golden Retriever Pup ;o)

Time is just zooming by and I can't believe how "Dream" Emma has grown ... her "Sweet" littermates are 6+ weeks old and they all enjoyed a "Meet the Pups" cookout party this past weekend at SunKissed Kennels in Charlestown NH ... all carefully planned outdoor preparations had to be suddenly moved indoors due to "socked-in" RAIN ... but it easily came together thanks to SK "chief planner/host" Kara, "grillman" Jonathan; "details organizer/chief side-dish cook" Jean, "Mr Handy landscaper" Duane and "baker/food contributer" Linda ... a really great time was had by the 20 party folks and the food provided was absolutely scrumptous ;o)

OH YAH ... how I digress ... this was all about the puppies ... my 14 year old God-daughter Jessica was excited to spend the weekend, meet Emma and join in the doings of the puppy party (Sutter, Willow & foster Margo also attented, sharing from a distance in our dog van) ... pups met lots of folks, got lots of "pick-up holdings", started outdoor "potty training" and of course squeeked in their  lil' "power naps"  ... the next day they did get to play in their set-up outdoor pen under the party tent  ;o)
