What a charming set up, Susana. Wonderfully creative idea, great DOF, lighting and tonality.

So sad to hear about those who didn't survive. It's difficult for life survive with our Monsanto GMO Roundup Ready poisoned country. The pet food was one of the first to go herbicide tolerant GMO's!

Happy the other babies made it. Feed them certified organic homemade recipes for pet food and they will do better! #8580973

I love this.. I have done this with babies, but never a puppy... very creative. Love it. #8882357

Susana Ms Heide September 09, 2010

Thanks Linda! I've seen many images with babies with this type of set up and wanted to try it. Newborns are not so easy to come by so I resorted to our little pups! :o))) Thanks for commenting! #8890828
