Photos of Justin

Sorry to be late with this ... Thanks to Pete Valentine again for the wonderful shots!

Justin is almost 4.5 yo and out of coat. Pete also videotaped Justin moving, and once we figure out how to convert/load that they'll be up.

Grandma Pat comes to visit ...

Pat Cummins (Spirit's mom) from Sancha Samoyeds cruised over on the Victoria Clipper to see Maxx and Shasta this weekend! I think ... she liked them (big smile)!

Pete and Gwen Valentine drove all the way from Alabama (well actually Tacoma temporarily) to do a photo shoot with the puppies and Justin. A big THANK YOU to Pete - you did a SUPER job capturing the kids! And Gwen was a great go-for and entertainer. Really enjoyed their visit and meeting their son. Photos posted below are of the pups.

I'll post Justin's photos tomorrow.

Friends

Liz volunteered to come over when I mentioned we were planning to bathe puppies this weekend. I'm so glad she did!

After Shasta was washed, he snuggled in a towel with Liz while his brother was being bathed. Then it was his turn to be dried while his brother snuggled.

Maxx fell asleep in Liz's arms while Shasta was drying. Then it was his turn ...

Puppies are so much fun. They play with great energy and all of a sudden they plop down tired and it's nap time. We must of tired Shasta out, because he went sleep in Tash's arms!

Photos below are of the pups after their first bath.

Did not use the right setting ... lovely time of day for the sun, but where we shot there were too many shadows. Hope to get better photos this weekend.

Puppies are 8 weeks old!

Photos were taken Wednesday, July 16th.
