Professional photographer Liz Kaye http://lizkaye.com/ asked if she might be able to come over and photograph a whelping. I told her it would depend on the dog, but that Bridget was a good candidate since she was an experienced dam and typically relaxed and trusting during whelpings. Liz brought over her lights a few days before and we set them up in the living room (whelping suite-to-be) so we wouldn't have to move them in the day of the whelp, plus Bridget could get used to the new decor. As expected, Bridget quickly accepted Liz and was totally unfazed by the photography equipment. Thanks Liz for captured this special day on film.
