We met this beautiful girl Kali down at Chaffinch Island Park in Guilford CT. She is the new foster pup of our friend Linda who fosters each summer. We were told Kali was a very shy girl and she wasn’t very fond of men, so we decided to put on our longer lenses so we (John) didn’t make her uncomfortable. After a few minutes with us, though, she actually did settle down and seemed a lot more at ease around John – even went on a short leash walk with him. After the session, Linda told us she posted Kali’s flyer at a local coffee shop, and someone wanted to meet her! She was adopted right away, yay! We love being able to help a pup find their forever home!

Our friend Linda signs-on to foster at least one pup each summer. She is a teacher and has summers off, so it allows her time to socialize a them, and get to know what type of family would be best for them. This day, we met Molly! Molly is a super sweet little “mutt” with the cutest pointiest ears! She has great manners, and would make a lucky family very happy! Shortly after this photo session, she was adopted! Yay! We love being able to give back and help a deserving pup find their forever home.

Meet Toby the rescue pup! Our friend Linda asked us if we could do a special session for her new foster-pup, Toby, and of course – how could we refuse! Look at his sweet face! Shortly after Toby’s photos were shared, he was adopted! We are always so happy when we could give back and help an animal find their forever home!

The awesome folks at Crossfit Zenith are huge dogs lovers, so when they asked us if we’d be interested in helping raise some money for the Wallingford Animal Shelter, we jumped on board! We don’t typically shoot “studio sessions” as we prefer to get outside with our doggy clients, but this was for a great cause! We even had a GOAT come into the session!! Here are just a few of the photos from the day…

It was a chilly day – not quite Winter, but not quite Spring….it was a somewhere in-between, but that didn’t stop Mickey from wanting to explore the park and “pose” for a few photos for us. Mickey is a sweet little girl, who – by some sad misfortune – found herself motherless, and “for sale” at 4 weeks old. Some kind-hearted person “bought” her – just to save her from more misfortune – and surrendered her to the AWESOME folks at Karuna Bully Rescue, where she was nursed into a beautiful, and healthy puppy! She is now ready to find her forever-home. If you, or someone you know, would like to adopt or even FOSTER Mickey, please contact adopt@karunabully.org. She is such a wonderful pup, and she deserves a loving home.
How can you resist this face?

We’re a little late blogging about our recent trip to Kauai – Not because it wasn’t a spectacular vacation, but because we took a GAZILLION photos and we had to weed through them all!!!
We got to Kauai a little around 6:30pm (Hawaii time – which is 6 hours behind East Coast time), so after a day of flying, we were pretty spent! We did manage to get up enough energy to go to Duke’s Canoe Club for dinner – and it was amazing! We spent the first night at this cute little place called The Kauai Inn at Nawiliwili Harbor before we made our way for a timeshare we booked up in Princeville. Apparently, Princeville, and the rest of the North Shore, are the “rainiest” part of the island (who knew?) Well, it was true, and we did managed to get our fair share of rain. It was fine though, after all – we were on vacation! Haha!
Kauai is such a beautiful island. It seems to be very unspoiled by tourists (yeah, I know we were tourists too!) The landscape is very natural, not a lot of built-up areas, and even in the “touristy” parts weren’t overly touristy. It was just an incredibly relaxing place. One that I would definitely want to visit again! While we were on Kauai, we decided to volunteer at the Kauai Humane Society. We ended up going out on a “field trip” with one of their adoptable dogs, named Maka. When we got there, the staff at KHS told us we could check the kennel area, and choose up to three dogs – from the three, they would help match us up with the one who would be the best fit for us. We chose Maka, since he hadn’t been out on a recent field trip, and because when we walked by his kennel, he gave us the sweetest puppy-dog eyes, so we just HAD to choose him! Well, Maka ended up being a wonderful field trip pup! He walked on the beach with us, then walked along the Kapaa Bike Path with us, then when we stopped for lunch, he was just THE perfect pup! He just relaxed under our picnic table and waiting until we were done (his reward was a taste of my mahi mahi fish taco!)
Here are just a few of the gazillion photos we took!

We met several other very lucky island pups while we were on Kauai! We met Georgia, a beautiful Lab mix at Anahola Bay. She was there to watch the sunset with her folks! We also met Prince, who apparently hangs out (by himself) at the beach at Ke’e State Park while he watches all the people swim and play in the water. On our final night in Kauai, we met Bill and Honey and a beautiful “tri-pod” named Molly Brown, who lost her leg after getting hit by a car.
Overall, Kauai was a SUPER dog-friendly island – and just a real people-friendly island in general! I miss it…but I will definitely be back!
Mahalo, Kauai!
