I saw this essay posted on one of my favorite fellow dog photographer’s sites… Leesia Teh. So much of it resonated with me that I felt the need to share it. Any dog lover understands that it is so much more than just a dog…

Essay written by Richard Biby. If anyone knows who took the photo, please let me know so I can credit them.

  • Christy - I love that essay! It’s so true. Our “kids” are our world. Thanks for sharing with all of us. <3

This is the last of the pup photos that I have from last weekend at the PSPCA. These are dogs that are waiting for their forever homes. Please contact the PSPCA for additional information on any of these lovely pups… 

Santana…

Rosita… her single floppy ear is adorable! 

Annie…

Baby… look at her gorgeous coloring, and that smile!

and Princess. She is a BEAUTIFUL dog…

And these lucky dogs found new families before they even got a chance to grace the blog… which makes me SO happy…

Precious…

and Howard…

  • Christy - What beautiful pups! I really hope they find loving homes soon.

During Cash’s session, Jill mentioned that one of her favorite things about him is the way he goes down the stairs. He hesitates at the top because he knows what is about to happen. It’s as if he pauses before taking a leap of faith. As he starts to descend his ears flop uncontrollably and his skin folds roll forward on his head, covering his eyes and forcing him to continue down the stairs almost blindly. It is both sad and hilariously funny at the same time. So we had to try to capture that. And while none of the images turned out to be anything spectacular individually… I animated them to give everyone a glance at Cash’s descent down the stairs…

  • Rachel - You are right about it being sad and funny. I’m sitting here saying, “aawww” but then I’m laughing at the same time. 🙂 Poor guy! I love how you animated this. What program did you use to do that? Very cool.

  • Wendy - Those are the best ears and wrinkles ever!

  • Stephanie - I LOVE his wrinkles!!

  • Dana - so funny and cute!

  • Emilee - Haha, this is great! But poor Cash! He is so cute, it makes me want a hound puppy. 🙂

I got to meet many more sweet pups at the PSPCA last weekend that are patiently waiting for loving homes. If you know someone that is looking for a new furry family member, please forward this on. You can get more information on any of these dogs by contacting the PSPCA… 

This girl is one of my favorite pups. She’s SO sweet… very friendly and affectionate. There’s something about the way she looks at you that just melts your heart. I adore her. Her name is Queenie…

Ranger, who is currently being featured as Pet of the Week at www.pspca.org… 

Jordan… looking particularly handsome…

Milo… I don’t know who could resist these ears…

Neila… she’s just a baby but already has such a personality. She’s so spunky and inquisitive. She’d make a great family member…

Edie… She is so precious and her coloring is just gorgeous! I’ve never seen anything like it…

And a bulldog! Love!! Her name is Brandy…

UPDATE:  BRANDY HAS BEEN ADOPTED!

More pups are coming soon…

  • Meredith Perdue - Love these! They all look adorable- I know your pictures will help them find good homes!

  • Grace - Your photos are GORGEOUS!!!! I want them all.

  • Allison - Wow – these are so engaging, shelter dogs are beautiful inside and out!! You are doing a wonderful thing in helping them fins a forever home!

  • Wendy - Trust a bulldog to have dirt on her nose! Isn’t it amazing the number of attractive, affectionate and great dogs that end up homeless? It shows you that it isn’t the dogs, it’s the people!

  • jessica - BEAUTIFUL!!! and what a wonderful way to help shelter dogs find their way to loving homes! and beautiful work!

  • leesia - SO beautiful!! loving your shallow depth of field and great color. i hope they all find homes soon!

  • claire - oh my gosh, if there was any way at all i could convince alex we need three dogs, i’d be out there in a heartbeat for neila. so beautiful!

The Chloemonster is healing nicely from her knee surgery. There haven’t been many photo opps recently, since she is mostly relaxing. At least she’s supposed to be mostly relaxing. Sometimes she needs to be reminded of this. I took a quick photo of her last night looking irresistibly adorable… classic head tilt and her poor bum leg…

And guess who just got a hair cut??? Kev took her during the day to surprise me and I had no idea. When I got home she was in her crate… I opened the door to let her out and as usual, she lept into my arms. I squeeled. Really. I was that excited. I swear, it doesn’t get much cuter than this. The groomer may think otherwise… as I hear that she SCREAMED the entire time. And yes, she has already dirtied up her beard. I love my messy girl…
