He took awhile to warm up but once he did, all he wanted was some belly rubs..

  “pleaseeee?” and “Pick me! Pick me!”

So if you can give him a home do contact Mutts and Mittens for a viewing appointment now

We began by taking a walk to the nearby park.Where even then you can see how attached she was..

Of course being 12, she did not have much stamina so we soon sat down to take a breather..

When you get this old (84 in dog years) a few grey hairs are the norm

Still, you would be hard-pressed to tell her age given how well she looks!

Back home, she was a little grouchy at having me over but soon warmed up again..and who can resist that smile?

Half-way we decided to break out the secret weapon… Cheese!

Towards the end of the shoot, she would settle down in her fav spot and just watch the world go by..

To J: Hope you like the pics of your old girl

First up is Cruz who has been featured in a previous post before..

He is a lot more relaxed outside of his kennel and loves boiled chicken treats

next up is his daughter Cathy. She is more timid than Cruz and will take some time to warm up..

They do play well together and enjoy each other’s company..

Next we have Celeste, an apricot poodle who was found looking quite lost, wandering around the streets near the shelter. She is about 4-5 years old and has a very manja personality

Here is the photo that got her adopted on the left with how she looks like now. Quite a difference eh? Mongrel puppies can be deceiving ahha

She has such long and pretty legs. Lynn mentioned that she did look mighty awkward during her teenage years..

No doubt though that she has blossomed into a very pretty mongrel.

She is the playful sort and I spent quite a bit of time chasing her round and round the dining table..but soon she did get in itch on her nose. After a quick scratch it was back to the chasing game..

Once tired she had loads of fun rolling round the cool marble floor

Next up is little Libby who has been with Lynn for the longest time She was more reserved but still posed nicely when asked..

No doubt she is full of youthful energy!

Still obdient enough to sit still when called for though…

No doubt though that she is a pretty one

Close up, you can see that little twinkle of mischief in her eyes…

A full morning of running around did leave her pooped out though and once we got back she knocked out pretty quickly

Here’s wishing all of you a happy Diwali for tomorrow

First up is little Macho. When he first arrived he had a bad habit of nipping people when he got too excited. Thanks to the patience and training from Cohen, he is now much better though still needs someone with patience and understanding to fully blossom.

Next up we have Captain Cruz who was rescued by Project JK . There is an ongoing appeal to help sponsor his stay at MnM but if you think you can give this shy boy a good home do drop Project JK  a message

And of if there there is one dog that seems to hog the lime light its Nereus. He is quite the photogenic chap and besides swimming he does modelling quite well

A volunteer came by and passed us some tiny apples to eat and I immediately struck on the idea… can any one guess the book cover from the picture on the right?

Russell demonstrates the correct launching technique. As the pool sides are slippery, he uses his hind paw to push off the wall

He does look kinda awkward in flight though..

Leo, on the other paw, has a much better form

Although his entry is kinda awkward as well

It was quite fun watching him climb out the opposite side…

It is quite well known that water and camera’s do not really mix well but thanks Camera Rental Centre who lent me the underwater case and waterproof video camera, it seems they CAN mix quite well! I think I’ll let these shots speak for themselves..

After this pool session, rest assured I will definitely be looking forward to future shoot involving dogs and water. Oh and you you remember I mentioned about the video camera?

First up is Marche a Maltese, who is still in quarantine. A little timid still given how much her environment has changed but still likes human company. She does have a skin condition but it should get better in time

  Next is Coco who is still also wary of strangers but warmed up soon enough

Had a little help from Cohen, the head honcho Coco loves belly rubs!

If you can give or know someone who can give them a good home to contact Mutts And Mittens now!

The model in question is Faye

Also featured in the magazine are these inserts that you can cut out and keep as well as a post card!

Do remember to grab yourself a copy soon!

That last bit proved quite useful during the shoot as his “Mom” told me he would much prefer to laze around the beach if there was no food involved. True enough we started with some stationary shots to get him warmed up..

He does look quite dashing in that hat though he has other thoughts about that…

Then to perk him up, it was time to break out the cheese

Even got him to run a little

Once he took to the sea though he was quite different.. he did shrink by about 50%

He also liked chaing his little lamb around, but after one failed attempt to grab it, he ended up with a mouthful of sand and quickly lost interest..

We ended off with  a large family photo of Bobby and his friends

Congrats again on winning the contest
