April 26th, 2014 - Emmett is 4 weeks old today!

Today my Emmett is 4 weeks old.  Mark and I stopped by to take some updated pictures so I'll have them for his Puppy Album.

I got to pet Emmett's mother and I basically got her seal of approval.  She was very good about me laying on the floor taking pictures of her babies.  Her name is Sadie and for this being her first litter she is a good mom.

 

 

 

I had Mark take a better picture with me and Emmett's father.  Before I forget, I've been spelling his name wrong it's not Draco, it's Dragi.  Great picture of Dragi, but not such a good picture of me.

 

 

 

 

Below is a photo of Sadie's and Dragi's puppies.

 

Emmett has grown some since I saw him last week.  At 4 weeks old, the only important thing to him, is his mommy.  Veronica (the owner) made me laugh when she told me that my little Emmett gets all the other puppies stirred up.  Good for Emmett his personality is already starting to show!

 

 

 

The picture below is my husband Mark and we all know who he's holding. 

 

I'm about as un-photogenic as a person can be but many years from now when I look back over Emmett's Puppy Book, I'm going to love these pictures.  I really like this one because it really shows how much he's grown and also the white on his chest.

 

 

When we went to see the puppies we had only planned on staying 30 minutes at the most.  During our visit my husband who's been playing guitar and giving lessons for 40 some years got to talking to Robert who he discovered also played guitar.   Off they wandered together and talked guitar, chords, 3rds,  5th's, minor's and all the other stuff my husband talks about that I just don't get. 

Our 30 minutes stretched to 90 minutes and we only left because Mark had a lesson to teach that afternoon.

I liked Veronica from the moment I met her, she is a true dog lover and as it turns out we actually have a lot in common.  I got to know her daughter Ashley better and Ashley's beautiful daughters who seem to be dog lovers themselves.  It's amazing to see such little girls not caring one bit about two big dogs who are 3 times their body weight.

 

I'm hoping Veronica and Robert will come for visits once we bring Emmett home on May 14th so they can see how's he's doing.  He's going to grow into an amazing,  spoiled and much loved member of our family. 

I need to make a note to myself to check out the Diamond Natural that Veronica has been feeding the puppies.  Earlier today, I had to go out to Harvest Mill for some bird food and learned that a 40 pound bag of Chicken Diamond Natural is $29.  It's a really good quality food and you can't beat the price.

18 days till Emmett comes home!
