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 …

bath-49

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.

bath-51

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.

oriana’s a momma

meet oriana …

oriana-alone-104

these photos were taken exactly one week before she popped.  grandma Sue was expecting lots of puppies but not quite as many as she’s helping to nurse right now.

twelve squirming white fuzz balls … i heard them just now over the phone as Sue got the formula ready for them!  Oriana had fourteen but, unfortunately, two didn’t make it, and the delivery wasn’t easy … a C-section was required and the milk has been slow to come … so grandma Sue has been up through the nights feeding the babies.

i’m glad we were able to get these shots of momma before she burst … a lovely, late afternoon before i had to rush off to training class with Merrick.

you’ll be seeing more of Oriana and big brothers Chance and Theo soon … and of course, puppies!!!  but this first photo shoot was just for momma.  can’t wait to meet them all, Sue!   … and see this sweet girl again.
