I got to know Wawa’s mom because she was the rescuer of Prince Yukio (and because Yukio’s new mom helped to convince her ) Senior dog portraits are always special because senior dogs tend to exude this knowing and sagely charm that you just cannot capture with hyperactive puppies.

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
