Session notes: 
Knik has those that when she looks at you, you will give her anything she wants - like big seal eyes - Niv has them too.
Her lip lick in the top photo is not from stress, but from finishing hoovering treats off the floor - one of my tricks to help the dogs who are food motivated to be comfortable standing as in-position as possible next to the wall. 
The solid eye contact in the bottom photo comes from  have a yummy, stinky treat in my hand for the moment after I clicked the shutter! 
Knik came with her favourite humans and buddy Kismet and after the session we met up with some other local sleddies for a walk in the park.

Knik passed away May 18, 2021.
