Puppy love

Last weekend our friend Marie-Emmanuelle (mother to our future godson) came to visit, bringing along her 4-1/2 month old German Shepherd puppy, Jack. The newlywed Marie-Emmanuelle has been without her hubby Patrick for an entire month, as he was away in the US, doing training for his new job. They were happily reunited last Friday! But last Sunday, she came for a solo visit.

I am liking your new short haircut, Miss Marie!

 

Check out this cutie!

 

I seemed to end up with a lot of photos of Jack running at the camera!

The farm in all its mid-autumn glory. No snow yet!

Mr. Handsome!

I'm surprised he can't fly with those ears.

Jack is an excellent puppy with a wonderful temperament, and he is already very well-trained.

I love German Shepherds. I think I got that from my mother, who grew up with them and was always raving about them.

Jack decided to jump in the pond but judging by how fast he got out (and the look of surprise on his face), he wasn't ready for how deep it was!

Damp doggy.

He cautiously explored the Beaudette River at the back of our property.

It was beautiful in the late-afternoon light.

Spot the camouflaged pooch!

What a good boy!

We had fun playing with milkweed pods in the wind.

Jack loved the fluff!

 

Until he'd had enough of it all stuck to his face!

He's growing up to be a beautiful dog. What a great day!
