This weeks challenge is motion. I couldn’t decide between these two photos. The first is of Lily running on the path at the dog park after an afternoon of playing. You can just see by the look on her face that she is having a blast. And I love her ears flopping in the breeze.
The second is of Harry doing what he loves most – catching the ball. For Harry a tennis ball is like crack. Once he sees it out all his attention is focused on the ball. He will jump and catch over and over again. That is the border collie in him coming out – can you see it?
Now let’s head over to http://brindleberryblog.com/?p=754 and see what they has for us today.
Our new indoor hi-key studio officially opens for business on October 1st, but we are our first client in the studio last weekend. Meet Krypto the Pug, who turned out to be a good model with only a small amount of treat coaxing. He was a good sport and despite little breaks to sniff-out the surroundings obligingly continued to stand in front of the lights and allow his picture to be taken. I love me some pug! Hope you do to.
Last weekend I had another Smile for a Cure session and met Charlie and Peanut, two senior red daschunds with their noses to ground sniffing for treats. They didn’t sit still much, well actually, they barely stopped moving for more than 5 seconds so they kept me on my toes! Nothing daunted I followed them around with my Canon close to the ground and myself laying in the grass most of the time! That is, however, the life a pet photography intent on getting The Shot! Thanks Ann for meeting me in the park and sharing your two cuties with me for a bit.
Another picturesque day in the Bay Area Sunday and I was at Jack London Square with these two darling pups and their humans. Goliath, though a big ridgeback retriever mix, didn’t quiet live up to his name seeming a little on the shy side and not so impressed by my camera. Lay Cee, this adorable mix reminded me very much a several Jack Russells I know, had nothing but smiles for the camera; I think she smiles frequently. Patience paid off and we managed to get Goliath to smile as well. Both of these cuties are future All American Mutt Wear models. Overall a good day by the Bay.
I had the pleasure of enjoying an absolutely beautiful Bay Area morning at the beach with two very sweet, very cute, pit mixes on Saturday named Munchkin and Frances. Both are currently looking for homes. Their stories are below and if you want more info I urge you to contact Beth – pbjrescue@yahoo.com for more info. Beth is currently fostering these sweeties and deserves a huge shout out for all the good work she does helping this much (and unfairly) maligned breed. Having a pit mix myself, who is also a rescue, I can personally attest to what sweet dogs they are in the right environment. Thanks for all your hard work Beth and thanks for bringing Munchkin and Frances down to the Albany Beach for their photo shoot!
“Munchkin…an 10 month old “American Bully” who was surrendered to our clinic with a terrible case of Demodex, she would literally hide her face under her giant “gecko” feet. She has come a long way since then, she was 4 months old when she came into my care and she has been doing so well. She does have some behavioral issues that we are working on and someday she will make the right person a loving and wonderful pet!”
“Frances Ivey…was found wandering the mean streets at the tender age of 9 weeks, after looking her owner was found and had no interest in taking her back. After several adoption events and noticing she was just so easily tired for a puppy tests were run and we found that she had severe kidney insufficiency. She is over a year now and doing well and only time will tell. She is a sweet loving girl who just wants to have fun and is also hoping to find a forever home. Although because of her disease she will need constant medical supervision for life!”
