Happy Friday! This session of Donald, the dashing dachshund, and his friend was sent in by Chi Photography of Charleston. I bet his ears are velvety soft! I thought I'd fetch some of my favorites from this week: Blog: Doggerel Abby spent a year researching and dreaming about a dog, she recently adopted a beautiful German Shepherd named Pyrrha. Adoption Event: Maddie's Fund this weekend people will be able to adopt dogs (and cats) for FREE in Alameda, Contra Costa, and San ... continue reading
Dog Pawty: Dixie the Miniature Schnauzer
I did a double take the first time I saw Melissa Jill's dog, Dixie. Next, I read the text "I don't put false eyelashes on my dog." (Am I the only one who is jealous of Dixie's lashes?) You can see why she has to put that disclaimer in every post. Not every miniature Schnauzer has lashes like Dixie. When Dixie turned 5, Melissa threw a little dog pawty complete with cake, party hats and plenty of guests. You can see more of the party and Dixie on Melissa's blog! Do you celebrate your ... continue reading
Happy Tails: Barkley
This big guy, Barkley, was sent in by pet photographer, Sarah McGraw. I admit I'm guilty of "assigning human traits and emotions" to dogs.

Focus: Little Black
So many of my favorite photographers have their own dogs, that I felt like they deserved a special category. Punster wannabe that I am, I have named these sessions "Focus". I've been following the saga of Little Black ever since he made his way into the home (and heart) of Charleston Photographer, Dana Cubbage, as a foster pup. Dana has years of experience of being a foster mom to dogs. Along with all of her other readers I fell in love with Little Black. I mean, who ... continue reading
Happy Tails: Charlie
Sarah Der sent me these photos from a maternity session of an amazing couple of videographers, Mackenzie and Philip from Inkspot Crow Films. If you have a heart, you will love their work, trust me on that. Introducing lovable, adorable, goofy Charlie! Charlie was found as a stray with crazy shaggy fur and he quickly stole their hearts. He's sporting his summer haircut for this session. Doesn't he look soft and cuddly? Don't worry Charlie, you'll always be their first baby! You can ... continue reading
