My neighbor Allie brought in her new 9-week old friend to the studio this afternoon. Archie is an AussieDoodle and sweet as can be. Congratulation to Allie and her family. I can’t wait to see Archie walking around the neighborhood.

I know there has been plenty of dog photos lately but look at them. Today is National Puppy Day. Monday Argus turned three, and Reyka has been here a week tomorrow. They started bonding today, the language of chewing sticks is universal.

Reyka, at 8 weeks old. Here is her first studio session. Out of the three Berners I have had, she was the easiest first session. Might be my best poser yet. I added the other two’s first studio session with the same stuffy, then more of Reyka. They are all related. See a family resemblance?

Checking in with Sir Argus. His sister Josie would have been five yesterday. After she passed, Argus became depressed, lasted until around Christmas, mopey, very distant, and the poor thing wanted little to do with anyone.
Then he started coming out of it. Happier every day and now is even kinder and more playful than he was before. Just an oversized furry toddler. His third birthday will be here in a few weeks, but a few days before that, he will be joined by a new companion. A new puppy for his birthday.
We meet her this Sunday. Argus can’t join us, so he will just need to be surprised later. We have to start preparing him. Sharing is not his strong suit, and his toys are all his toys. We will work on it. Tune in on Sunday for some puppy photos and maybe even a name.

He just loves snow.

Argus has a best friend, a large stuffed cow named Cow. He loves Cow. Someone comes in the house, he will bring Cow and to show them. He wants to nap, he will grab Cow and jump up on a couch and nap. Now and then he sneaks Cow out to the yard for a field trip. Once again proving, he is a giant toddler.

A different Christmas, but it was the one we got. A quiet day with the family. Hope you all had a great day too.

Luna and her family came to the studio for a holiday session. It has become an annual visit with a new scarf each year. Hope for many more.

Anyone else have a 120lb+ furry toddler who has a huge stuffed cow he carries around to snuggle with and loves to be tucked in with his Mr. Rogers blanket? Anyone? We do, his name is Argus.
