We had a Jackson and Miskey (JaM) Puppy Party this weekend.
It was a blast.

Of the eight litter mates, seven were able to attend!
We had adoptive parents from DeKalb, Sycamore, Rockford, Peoria, and Aurora drive in for a couple of hours of frolicking puppy fun.

They were fifteen weeks old, all about the same size with the smallest just over ten pounds and the biggest at almost fourteen. Most of the ears have popped but a couple are still flopping. (You think one way is the most adorable, until you see the other! They’re ALL so stinkin’ cute!) They are healthy, happy, social little fur balls! And so smart!

They ran, they wrestled, they chased, they rolled.
Sometimes they drank water.
But mostly they washed their paws in the bowl.
They had doggy ice cream. (Thank you Luna’s mom.)
One fell in the pool (!). She swam remarkably well until her fast acting momma was able to snag her.
THEY GOT DIRTY!
Especially the wet one.
Wet ones, I should say, lol. Because, you know, water bowl.
But mostly the swimmer.

We had some growls. We had some grouches.
We had some go-gettems that had to be separated.
But mostly we had a GOOD TIME.

I am SO impressed that seven of the eight were able to make it.
I would LOVE to do this again.
It was a good day of safe play and socializing.

My puppies puppies have great families.
They are loved.
That makes me very HAPPY. ❤

You’ve come a long way, puppies.
