Ahh, man’s best friend, the canine. Ours is a little messy Maltese mix that’s always excited to see us and is full of energy. She follows us around the house, gets gross eye boogers (tears) that stain her fur, loves walks and belly rubs. I’m really happy we made it through the tough puppy stage, because now she’s really a treat. My husband and I got our puppy, Campbell, (yes, like the soup, but no, not named after the soup) the day before Thanksgiving. She was 8-weeks old and she was so much smaller than we expected, weighing in just shy of two pounds. Now we’ve had her almost 6 months and now she weights about 7 pounds, which is smaller than we were told she’d be. She’s come such a long way in terms of training & obedience – she sits, shakes and fetches. Now we’re working on more advanced skills like taming her bark and learning respect (that Dog Whisperer makes it look so easy). So since she’s staying overnight at the vet tonight I thought it would a nice time for her blog debut.
Enjoy,

PS: Gotta hand it to pet photographers, because shooting her was no walk in the park. She moves so fast & it’s hard to keep her attention. It wasn’t the easiest holding the camera & a ball in my other hand, faking her out that I’d throw it. :) I think I’ll stick to just being a modern portrait photographer. :)
Back when we first got her she fit in my husband’s ginormous hands.
She’s really doing well with her crate training. I definitely think that’s the way to go for house breaking. :)
She is a wicked fast little booger.
Athena,
I love these! I’m no professional photographer and all I have is a point and shoot, but after taking a photo class in high school (we actually had to develop the film gasp!) and trying my darndest to write a blog for four years, I know that it is not easy to get shots like that. Love.
I’m in love!!! She’s precious! I love the action photo of her running with the ball. And of course the one in hubby’s hands! Great job!
Oh she is too cute!
Nice work, Athena!
OMG she’s so big now! I love her!
That fur makes me want to you know what (hint: m.o.). I love love love the first one, and the one of her racing with the ball in her mouth is another fave!
Thank you guys so so much! She’s grown, but is still a tiny squirt.
And Amy, no hints needed, i totally knew what you meant. haha!
Gorgeous photography… top work… x
