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...

Love of our best friends & family...

Life throws some great things at you, and at times, some not so great things... And for some reason, is it just me or does it seem like those not so great things come at the worst times? Maybe it's because we're never quite ready for those not so great things...

Well, now is one of those times. When one of the children has fallen ill. I should mention this child is one with 4 legs and covered with fur. But one of the children none the less. And why do I share this news that's not the best of the best. Because we all need to be prepared for the unexpected. How do you prepare for an illness in the family? In reality you can't. But what you can do is give love, energy and kindness to those you love ALL THE TIME. Communicate your feelings so that they know. Hugs? Communication? Fun times? That's up to you. And sure, you see your family every day and at times you may take that for granted. But let me ask you this, do you ever really know how long you have with them? With anyone??? Not that I have heard of yet...

So while the days may not always seem the brightest, while there may be other feelings from other situations weighing you down. Do your best to not let that take away from those that surround you with love each and every day. Do your best to share what you have for them as much as possible... And know, that you are loved...
