Heidi - the Ewok Baby

Meet Heidi. My in-laws little Ewok-baby. Isn't she sooo adorable? She's a little baby malti-poo-poo (3/4 poodle, 1/4 maltese) and has a rare kind of marking pattern called "phantom markings". Her parents were both light colored (white and silver), but somehow this little one got this. ;-) No jokes about the Milkman.... And you can't tell me that she doesn't look just like an Ewok from "Return of the Jedi". Let me show you some comparison shots:

Heidi - with a natural affinity for nature...

Don't they look completely related? She's so hilarious too. She does that puppy bounding thing everywhere. There is no such thing as just walking for Heidi. Here's one more funny Ewok photo - mostly because I love Icanhascheezburger....



Ok, back to Heidi. It was a long, hard search for my in-laws to finally get this little chiqua. They had an awesome dog, Mitzi, for a very long time who sadly passed away several years ago. So whatever dog they got had some serious shoes to fill. I'm happy to report that little Heidi is doing that wonderfully. ;-)



Though it's not formally advertised, I actually do pet portraits every now and then. ;-) It's slightly more difficult when the subject is an 8-week old puppy, but MAN is she cute! We don't exactly treat our pets as "little people" (we are Dog Whisperer people afterall - and living a few miles from Cesar Milan makes me feel guilty if we don't live by the "Exercise, Discipline, Affection"), but they are still very important members of the family. :-)



And with those eyes, it's not hard to see why. :-)
