Million Paws

April 30, 2008 – 8:00 am

Every year in Australia the RSPCA holds the Million Paws Walk to raise much needed funds for the great work they do. Today’s photo was taken at last year’s walk in Canberra. It is such a fantastic day and I’m sure the thousands of dogs who attend with their people know to be on their best behaviour that day. All the old rules of personal space seem to go out the window and you can have dogs of all shapes and sizes crammed into a small area without any fights. This year, the Million Paws Walk is on 18 May 08. I’ll be sorry to miss it, but surely there is an equivalent here in the USA.

I have a feeling that this beautiful dog is a Border Collie, but I can’t be sure. Does anyone know?

Waltzing Matilda

April 29, 2008 – 8:00 am

Matilda was foster dog I photographed in Canberra back in early 2007. Checkout that grass (or lack of grass) behind her. I’d almost forgotten how bad the drought was.

Asia

April 26, 2008 – 8:00 am

Asia lives with Bron from Maadii Pets in Canberra, Australia. Maadii means ‘good dog’ in Thai so you can see that Bron has quite an affinity for all things Asian. Bron and Rachael used to dog sit Zoe if we ever had to go away for the weekend and couldn’t take her with us.

I’m currently looking for a good reliable pet sitter or dog boarding place in San Diego because I often have to go away for work. It’s such a hard thing to find someone trustworthy to look after your best friend….even worse than trying to find a hairdresser who doesn’t turn your hair a shocking shade of orange. In the meantime I am very grateful to George for doggy sitting Zoe for us.

True Blue

April 25, 2008 – 8:00 am

In light of the fact that today is ANZAC Day, I would like to dedicate today’s post to all the brave men and women who have given their lives for their country.

Today’s post needed a fair dinkum Aussie dog, and none fit the bill better than an Australian Kelpie. In true Aussie fashion, this red dog is named Blue.

Lexie

April 24, 2008 – 8:00 am

Lexie is a German Shorthaired Pointer and is hands down the most photogenic girl I’ve ever photographed. Because she was one of my earliest clients when I first started my business I still hold a very special place in my heart for her. In fact I still have a 600mm x 600mm canvas of Lexie gracing my walls at home for the time being.

Starting along this journey has truly been a wonderful experience for me. People I met through my pet photography have become my friends and I’ve been lucky enough to experience all life special occasions with my previous clients. 

For instance, Lexie’s Mum and Dad got married sometime after their doggy photoshoot, so I was lucky enough to capture the wedding in which Lexie led Mum down the aisle. Now Lexie’s Mum is living in America too and I get to catch up with her tonight in Washington DC. 

I hope she gets a nice surprise when she opens today’s post.

Seeking enlightenment in India

April 23, 2008 – 8:00 am

There is a universal truth about dogs in India. Wait for 30 seconds and you capture them having a good scratch. While I was over there I picked up a puppy (something which seemed to horrify my fellow travellers) and it was so infested with fleas that it was almost out of a horror movie. Next time I go, I think I’ll take a suitcase of flea treatment. Poor things.
