Be Carefl With Those Foods

How many foods do you know of that are dangerous to your furry friends??? Sure, many people know the chocolate thing. But what about grapes? Or raisins? Below is a link to a story about some of the foods and why as well as the poison control number should your furry friend ever find their way into some of these foods.

The Camera and the Dog

In the past I have shared readings from a great book called "You Are A Dog" ( http://www.amazon.com/dp/1400052424/?tag=terrybain). And today it's time to share another. And why not share your dogs thoughts on the camera...

CAMERA:

You wish your people wouldn't aim that thing at you. It makes you think something bad is about to happen, like a lightning and thunder storm. You do not like lightning and thunder - mostly the thunder - and you do not like that thing they point at you, and you do not understand why they are so excited about the colored paper they wave in front of you after they pull it out and watch it intently for several minutes. "Wookit my shweetie, widdowl buppsie - widdie wiggins woo, bupsie wupsie," they say. Sometimes their behavior is completely mystifying.....

More readings will be coming in the future as they tend to be uplifting and generally always bring a smile to your face... Who doesn't need a smile. Call over your pooch and read it to them. I'm sure they'll chuckle too!

Sally Sally Sally...

What can you possibly say when you get a call from a client that just sounds soooo excited about the opportunity to have some rockin' pics of her pup taken? Especially when you hear that her pup is a Pembroke Welsh Corgi named Sally? You happily make it happen!

And that's exactly what we did last Friday. Met in the studio with Sally onboard and rocked it out! Such a sweetie, from chasing the flying burger to giving a look of "are you serious" at the squeekin' Elvis chicken. Sally and her mom rocked! 

If there's anything bad to say it's that they're leaving Ct. on the 16th of this month. I'm sure their travels will be safe and maybe Ct. will bring them back around some day... If there's one good thing to say it's that the shoot was squeezed in and happened with style!!!

Be Safe Sally and Take Care of Mom!!!

Lost and Found...

Just over a week ago something was lost... It's a something that will never nor can never be replaced. The sounds of his feet running toward me as I walk in the door, his nails sliding on the hard wood floor. His energy at my feet while I work, or his head on my lap while I, well, don't... His love, his bark, his crazy energy that would bolt from one room to the next. As someone perfectly put it, he did not walk, he pranced. Because he did! 

It's with the great sadness that I have to say that on 4/28/2010, a day after the post below, we lost our Pippin. We lost the furry craziness running from room to room, we lost noble prance of the greatest pup, and we lost one of our loves! 

With this loss, we have found the memories. We've found those moments that we will NEVER forget. Him and his tennis ball, always being at your feet, wanting love and ready to give love at any moment... 

Those memories, those great times and that awesome unconditional love is what life is all about. It's what brings us close to others, it's what ties us with a bond to the ones we love. Knowing that they could be gone at any moment, it's today that we need to do the best things we can for them. It's today we need to give them that hug... Human or not. It's today we need to let them know that we love them! And by today I mean today and every today after... 

It's the greatest thing we have to give.... Love...
