Clean Boy

Oliver is 12 weeks old.  He is a dear dear puppy.  We love him so much.  Last week the kids and I took him to Pet Smart for his first professional bath!  The staff loved him and paraded him around even playing peek-a-boo with his ears.  When I picked him up they said they didn't want him to leave.  Love our baby boy!!

Black dogs are very difficult to photograph.  I haven't a clue how to get him to look like he does in person in a photograph.  Apparently this is known about black dogs but it really is surprising every time I see the pictures I took.  

For example, this picture below makes Oliver look like he has a long poodle nose when he does not.  Look how clean and fluffy he was after his bath!!!

 This is a more accurate portrayal of his nose/face.  I didn't think I'd love a dog this much.  I figured all my love is being given to my human family but apparently there's plenty to go around!
 Oliver is great with the kids.  Gabe lays on him when he eats.  I guess he feels like a fluffy pillow!
 Clean fuzzy butt.
 Right now Oliver weighs about 22 lbs.  He's growing steadily and is too heavy for Lilly to carry around.  I can and do carry him but I'm sad that I won't be able to for long.  I love carrying him like a baby.
