What a BEAUTIFUL Fall day! We spent the day with Abbey and my Mom at Edgerton Park in New Haven, CT. Edgerton is one of our favorite places to be. It is such a pretty park, and there are lots of dogs with their humans…and that always means we meet new friends!!
I know it’s been forever since I’ve posted anything on the blog. But I wanted to share a few images from last night’s shoot with Harlow the Hippo Girl. Well, no…she isn’t exactly a hippo — But, because some cruel person cut her ears off (attempting to do a home crop-job) she is now left with tiny little ears, like a hippo! Hence the name….hippo girl. When I first laid eyes on her, I couldn’t believe how tiny she was! She is such a petite little thing…but her butt is full of muscle! She immediately warmed up to me (I think because she found my treat bag! haha!!) Harlow would make an excellent hiking partner, or would be just as happy hanging-out with you on the couch! She is eager to please, and wouldn’t mind a belly rub (or two) and some tasty treats in return for her loyalty. She is just a sweet cuddle-bug!!!!
Harlow is available for adoption through Karuna Bully Rescue. I absolutely LOVE this girl! Read more about her here….but grab a Kleenex!
Today is my baby girl’s 7th birthday. Jamie completely changed my life when we adopted her as a puppy!!! She came into our lives shortly after my dad passed away. It was a very sad, and extremely difficult time for me. My dad was my hero, my friend, my biggest fan, and then he was gone…just like that. But after we adopted Jamie…my spirits were lifted and my life was forever changed!!! She filled a void in my heart, she made me a better person, she helped me realize the importance of animal rescue, AND she inspired me to create MUTTography Pet Photography!!! So in all actuality, Jamie really rescued me!!!
Happy Birthday, my beautiful girl!!!
Here’s a photo from 2006…about 4 months old.
And here she is on her 6th birthday, down at Lighthouse Point Park, New Haven CT. I LOVE this dog sooo much!
Every year, my mom asks me to take pictures of her dog, Abbey, for her annual Christmas card…and every year, this little-one gets more adorable (even though I like to call her a little stinker)!!! This year we decided to go to Edgerton Park, in New Haven…it’s such a nice little park with beautiful trees, and a nice walking path! There were still quite a few trees with glorious RED leaves on them, so we decided to take advantage of at least one shot! And of course, we had to get her in the flower cart, and on the wrought iron bench. She’s such a sport! Ha!
It’s been a while since we posted on our blog…so now we are playing catch-up! Back in September, we met this beautiful 15 year old girl named Ginger! She was celebrating her birthday on MY birthday!!! We were so excited to meet her after hearing all about her from her family. We spent a great morning with her, and her wonderful family in Darien!!! So happy to have been a part of her special day! Happy Birthday Ginger!!! Beautiful girl!
OK, so I guess going to Arizona in June wasn’t the smartest idea!!! I knew it would be warm….but it was HOT – sweltering HOT!!! But you know, even though it was HOT, it was still a dry heat and that beats the humidity in Connecticut any day!
While we were in Sedona, we met a beautiful Yellow Lab/Shepherd/Chow mix named “Yellowstone”. What a beautiful girl!!! Yellowstone will be 15 years old in September!!! She has a little bit of arthritis, so her family takes her out in her own little buggy so she can still travel and be with them on vacations! Isn’t that great!!!
Sedona is very pet friendly town…lots of restaurants and hotels allow your furry friend to stay. And how about those hiking trails!??? Maybe someday we’ll bring our critters with us!
For now, enjoy some of our travel photos of of Sedona, as well as the beautiful girl named, Yellowstone!!
