merrick gets a bath

just a quickie entry … thought i’d share a few bath photos from earlier today.  merrick will be meeting his grandma for the first time tomorrow and i thought he could use a little sprucing up …

you’d never know this little rescued, puppy-mill guy hates baths even more than he hates the camera … but with the right treats, and enough promises of “balls”, i managed to get him through his short shoot like a pro.

… even managing to squeeze in a towel shot.

of course, no dog will ever own the tub — or the camera — quite the way morley did.

… or will they ever play the sympathy card with quite as much skill as the old man could.

    Merrick is his own unique, adorable self, but… Those last two photos brought tears to my eyes. The one and only Morley.

    I love that soap-hawk!! Merrick sure hides his dislike for the camera and the bath well. He’s so photogenic and adorable!
