Newton - apres chewie. (About to nap.)

Riley is relaxed about this grooming stuff.

Dugan the Border Collie says, "Give me all your toys!" Toys are obliterated in seconds, with gusto, because it's his job you know!

Lucy speaks.

Look up "adorable" in the dictionary...Look, it's Max!

Joanne's Buddy was my buddy too.

Franklin. He's a rock star. You can't get a bad photo of him - he's always posing!

Rocky says, "A mistake has been made. Excuse me, but I am too cute to be in a doghouse!"

Georgie retrieving.

Stella is curious.

Havanese are known for their sense of balance and for their sense of humor - as Bhakti illustrates here!

Alfie, you look so proud and handsome in your new Scarlet Dreamcoat!

Rest in peace little Duncan. I love this picture. It's a sweet memory of you.

Harley and his Mom ride to the groomers in style! (Safety first at all times-wear your goggles!)

Roxie gives me some "paw".

Well-loved puggies hear Mom coming.

Visiting Nubble Light with friends this summer.

Bentley's accidental "mohawk" during bathtime made me smile!

You just want to hug Sammy the Springer, even before her bath!

I love putting Christmas bandanas on the dogs. Sammy looks festive for Matt's homecoming today! (Matt has been away at school so it'll be a happy reunion!)

Newton napping. (I can't get enough of Newton!)

Annie, you have a very loonnnggg tongue!

Look at that silly tail! (No, you cannot get it as an add-on service in the shop.) It's a Buddy exclusive!

Chloe and Hannah on vacation in Camden on the Maine coast.

This is the poodle that made me fall in love with poodles!

Buddy with his "Sammy Smile" on. Dearly missed by his family and me.

But I wanted a tie-die bandana....

Hannah and her friend Georgie. They were very polite and kind to each other. Two very dear old dogs!

Zeke the Pekapoo goes airborne for treats!

Remy wagging and retrieving all at once. I must have thrown that toy at least fifty times!

My Josh with BoBo and Daisy. He "doggie-sits" the babies and they adore him!

Perky Penny with the droopy tail - so funny!

Remembering Chalet - voicing her opinion. You are missed sweet friend!

Lilly (and her brother Bruno) are perhaps the sweetest, gentlest souls I have yet to meet.

Dogs do the funniest things and don't hold back showing their feelings. I guess CoCo was ready for a nap.....

Smokey knows how to relax!

Olive shows off her fluffy aussie fanny!

Jazmyn jumps for joy!

Patient Brie.

Chloe says, "Let's play!"

Mr. Higgins in the "Zone". He was clearly enjoying the massage part of his bath - he quit howling, pointed his nose upward and remained in this trance-like state while I photographed him!

These two look like they're up to something!

Stella, you are adorable!

Rascal checks out the back yard.

Wow Paco! That's a lot of shed hair for such a little dog! Even you seem impressed with your accomplishment!

Dignified Miss Abby is Daddy's girl.

A frequent pose for Bobo. Thank you Bobo for taking it outside!

I'm impressed with Shiela's Preston. He comes to get spiffed up just prior to competing in obedience trials.

Hannah checking out the treats at the pet supply store. She walked sideways on her hind feet to get a good view!

You're killin' me Chase, you're just so darn cute!!!

Tink is having a bad hair day!
