Unbelievable !: Emmett is 8 mths and we are closing in on the end of 2018

We are one month into Autumn!

Emmett was 8 months old on October 12!

Emmett has been part of the family Summers for over 6 months!!

Life is good here at 785 La Brant Rd. Emmett is growing into an almost dog :) … 14 months for physical maturity … 2 years for the rest, but as we are firmly into adolescence … and not too many “teen” issues … I am grateful! We are following breeder and vet advice to wait as long as possible to neuter. This is a “medium-big dog” thing of allowing time for bones and joints to mature with the normal hormones. There are plusses and minuses for various issues, but I’m going with waiting until we “need” to.

Emmett continues to be a joy to be with, to play and teach and to learn from. Auggie continues to be a CHAMP at tolerating Emmett’s lapses into “puppy brain”. I love them both with all my heart and am so grateful that they are part of my life!

Time flies when you are having fun and we are HAVING FUN!

And in addition to Auggie and Emmett fun, we are having an absolutely spectacular Autumn to date! Some cool-cold weather and in the last 10 days some warm weather and the color … it is just great to be where we are and with the time to get outside and enjoy.

From the last weeks:

Auggie and Emmett

Yes, that is Bob, not Auggie and not Emmett.

But this photo, a favorite of mine, is a great memory of Mr. Bob enjoying the sun. And so, it was inspiration as well as loving memory when I saw Auggie, quiet in the sun … and eventually, Emmett joining him.

Through the years: Zack and Gus, Karl and Gus, Karl, Gus and Bob, Bob and Bear, Bear and Auggie … and now Auggie and Emmett: my heart, my loves.

This photo series started with seeing Auggie in the sun … remembering Bob’s photo and hoping to capture something like that…

And then Emmett got in the picture…
