A Smile For The Weekend

I just want to say a big thank you to everyone for all the kind comments on my ramblings about loving and loss. Everyone who has loved someone (dog or human) and gone through the pain of losing them, knows exactly how I feel…both are a universal experience. I didn’t mean to wallow, and I …

Lasting Love

by

It is hard to believe a year ago, today, we lost Kona to cancer. Not a day goes by that I don’t remember him in some little way and with a smile. A lot of people ask us why we haven’t adopted another dog into our lives yet. Healing takes time. Some heal quickly, or …

Pinup Pups-Part 4

This session photographing for the Golden Retriever Club of Greater Los Angeles Rescue‘s calendar was a big challenge…trying to get a decent frame of 4 Goldens!

My second session photographing for the Golden Retriever Club of Greater Los Angeles Rescue‘s calendar was with a super cute rescue named, Sweetness.

Some weekend fun with Kobe…. Hanging out watching the neighborhood parrots squawking. “Holy, moly those parrots are loud!” “Mmmm,  tiny tomatoes were very yummy!

Kobe is still looking for the right family to love him forever. In the meantime, he is enjoying hanging out at our place.
