Merrylog

The princess, her Daddy and I had a marvelous time at Pugoween this year. There were close to a hundred pugs, I’ll bet – maybe more. It was crazy and so cute!

Here’s Merry just entering the area and getting the lay of the land. As you can see, she was already very excited. More photos inside…

The princess looks terrified, doesn’t she? Scared, perhaps of all the spooooky (and yet sparkly) spiders crawling over her skin?

Not to worry, folks – she’s by no means scared. I just woke her up out of a dead sleep to get this shot. Okay, so she was probably a little startled. But I gave her lots of tummy rubbins afterwards. And yes, there is no “g” in rubbins. True.

Actually, I find it amazing that I was able to sneak up on her at all with  the camera – the first few shots I got, she was still sleeping. See what happens when you retire from modelling? Suddenly the camera shutter no longer rules your life! (I’m hoping this means amazing sleepy girl shots over the winter, which I’ve rarely had the chance to practice!)

The princess and I are heading out to a Pug-o-ween later today, so expect many more Halloween-y themed photos for the next week or so.

And Happy Halloween to all of you! :)

It’s been a crazy year! For many, it’s been a tough one as well. I think most of us – myself included, despite the wonderfulness of marrying the man I love – are glad to see 2009 go and excited to see what 2010 will bring. To each of you, we hope you have a fabulous New Year and a stupendously superb I-need-to-share-chocolate-with-you kind of 2010.

The New Year Merrylog is an annual tradition – see the photos from 2008, 2007 and 2006.
