Being a Puppy is Exhausting

Emme has spent an exhausting week. She has been the entertainment all last week for our grandson. Then on Thursday, our son and daughter-in-law came for the weekend from Washington, DC. Emme had her role of hostess to uphold, so she had to lick and play with everyone. Then as a culmination, yesterday we had a family reunion at the lake house. With 14 people attending, Emme was a busy puppy: being cute, licking, showing off her clicker training, being held, petted and cuddled. By the end of the day she was exhausted. Eric and Katherine left last night to drive home. Dylan flew home this morning. Today it is just the four of us, Ken, Rudy, Emme and me. Emme is taking the opportunity to rest up. Which is a good thing, because tonight my brother-in-law and sister-in-law from Texas are coming to spend the week with us. Emme will have to go back to work. A puppy's work is never done.
