the last two weeks at the shelter…

December 14, 2009 – 7:12 AM

Here are the dogs from the last two weeks. The first two are “sisters” (not really sure if they are real sisters but we think they came from the same place) who desperately need homes. They were at the shelter last weekend and this weekend and they are on “the list” unless they are adopted by tomorrow. Two very sweet, kind of scared (wouldn’t you be?) girls…

And then this little, older sweet girl still does not have a home – she’s as sweet as she can be and just needs a place to feel safe. Such a sweetheart:

And last week, there was a pug girl there…she was adopted by this weekend but she sure was cute. I really could have taken her home. She has a little bit of a Dodie face:

and also last weekend.

After Pugs on Parade, I was lucky enough to get to spend the night with some amazing APRA volunteers who have a houseful of pets – dogs, cats and birds. And of course, I couldn’t resist taking a few pictures since there were so many adorable subjects just milling around. :) And these pictures do not represent ALL of the animals…I missed the cats and didn’t want to embarrass the naked bird. And a couple of the dogs were either shy or I didn’t get really great shots of them. Oh well, a great excuse to go back and visit!

So, once again, thanks Ginny and David for the wonderful accommodations, great dinner, tasty wine, and for allowing my pack to hang out with your pack.

and last weekend…pugs on parade, birmingham, al

May 3, 2009 – 8:53 PM

Last weekend was the event that we look forward to all year – Pugs on Parade in Birmingham, Alabama. It is Alabama Pug Rescue’s big fundraiser and it is nothing but fun and pugs all day long. I did a photo booth again this year, just trying to keep it simple. We had pugs, pugs, and more pugs, and then some non-pugs as well. They were all just adorable. And we also got some of the current rescues who are waiting for their forever homes. And as you can see from one of the pictures below, there were big benefits to being my assistant (thank you Steph!)…pug kisses. :)

This will be a pretty image-heavy post because I can never narrow them down. They are just so cute.

major.

April 22, 2009 – 9:21 PM

My sweet, silly, lovable guy, Major, died today. When I got home this afternoon, he just looked like he was sleeping. He was fine this morning, and he looked very peaceful. I am going to miss him so much. 

We are not sure how old he was. A good guess is probably around 12ish. Maybe he was older and we didn’t realize it because of his sweet, puppy-like face and the way he would dance around when he’d get treats or when we’d come home and he’d see us. He was a smiler, too. I just can’t put into words how special he was. We’d only had him a year and three months. I have a big soft spot for the older rescue guys, and he was a perfect gentleman (well, most of the time…he still had some spunk around the ladies). What a special gift he was. For those of you who ever wonder if it’s worth it to adopt an older dog, it is. They are the best. 

Rest in peace, my little friend…I’ll miss you more than you’ll ever know.

pugs+kisses

February 15, 2009 – 8:49 PM

Yesterday, the Pugs and I headed to Birmingham, AL for Pugs and Kisses, an Alabama Pug Rescue and Adoption event. This is usually a pretty small, low-key event so I thought we could just do some quick valentine cards and print them on the spot:

But we got sooooo busy that it got a little crazy. We got most of them done finally and it was a pleasant surprise to be busier than we thought. We will definitely have to rethink our process if we do that again, though! But it was a lot of fun, and my pugs had a blast (especially Major – pictured above). So here are just a few of the photos (and some out-takes) that I took yesterday for the valentines –  I may have to post a few more tomorrow:

this weekend.

February 8, 2009 – 10:08 PM

I met up with a couple of other local photographers and we went to Starr’s Mill. They have kids that they brought to use as models, but since I don’t have any of those at home, I brought Dodie. I have to say she did a great job and everyone seemed to be impressed with her modeling skills. I never seem to get tired of taking her picture. I think that’s a good thing. :)

catching up, part deux.

February 1, 2009 – 7:59 PM

So after our weekend of one-light discussions and all, after my great guests left, I decided to practice on plain ole’ white seamless paper with, of course, my dogs. (They really enjoyed all of the extra treats.) I really like the simplicity and clarity that you get. And I love the variation of expressions (since there’s nothing else really different!) that they have. I think the simplicity brings out the subtleties of the expressions. And I like that.
