Lennox | Sydney Pet Photographer

Don't you just love boxers? With their loveable squishy faces and their beautiful personalities I could fall in love easily. And Lennox was no exception. As soon as I saw him, I wanted to squeal with delight. Soooo cute!!! I'm such a sucker for animals. If I had seen him on the street I would be that person who starts talking to you about your dog. I simply can't resist. Luckily, I got to indulge all of my patting and cuddling urges during his session. Not to mention, I probably bombarded his poor mum with endless questions about her baby. :)

Iggy | Pawtastic Photography ~ Pet Portraits

Plop! Once again Iggy had deposited the ball between my legs after fetching it. Good boy! Well done!

What I didn't say, was Iggy's need to grab that ball again, immediately after dropping it. Imagine 30kgs of dog nosing around your 'private area' determined to GET HIS BALL!
