Say hello to our newest team member around here. Again, she's a Morkie, which is a combination Maltese + Yorkie. She's been on the job less than a day now, and her responsibilities are still being finalized, but so far they include lighting model, carpet durability tester, floor duster, client greeter, sock hider, and just plain ol' fun-maker. With a little training and puppy dog eye practice, I'm hoping to add sales booster to her repertoire, too. Little Mia (mee-yuh) was finally old enough to come home yesterday, and in one night she's already ruling the roost with our life at home now revolving around her for a bit. This girl's like a little fury, four-legged magnet, too; she won't let us get more than a couple feet away before she's attaching herself to our heels, but how can you blame her? We're awesome people to hang around. [grin] I'd forgotten how much fun puppies are. They just make you feel so young and vibrant. Shoot, even her puppy breath is adorable right now... we'll see how long that lasts. Anyway, here's a few quick images of her... about the only lens I have available right now (the rest are going in the shop) is an 85mm and a 60mm macro, both of which are sloooooow to focus compared to my other lenses... this is a problem with a spasmatic moving target that never seems to sit still except when she's sleeping.

This is where she was at 80% of the time on her first night home. It's hard to photograph her with an 85mm lens when you can't get any separation from her.

Momma & Mia. Oh, com on... you knew it was coming sooner or later. It's better to just get those things outta the way.

She finally wore herself out... for a little while.
