Cody

Cody is an adorable 5-month-old lab mix puppy who was found wandering the streets and brought into animal control when he was just a baby. He was lucky to find his mom – now he gets to go to doggie daycare once a week to see all his friends, has a trainer to keep that brilliant mind of his constantly learning, and even gets to visit his mom’s office occasionally, a successful dental practice in Suwanee.

He still acts like a 10-week-old puppy, bounding around in fits of energy and picking up a new toy every fourth of a second. But amazingly, even with all that energy, he’s still incredibly attentive and can obey sit, down, and stay commands even at his age. He’s incredibly outgoing and loves every new person and dog he meets!

I barely captured the look on the right – I burst out laughing behind the camera as soon as I noticed his tongue, and when he heard my laugh he broke his sit and went right back into playtime mode!

Barking Hound Village – Westside location

I recently had the opportunity to work with Barking Hound Village, a daycare and boarding facility with a number of locations all around Atlanta. I was asked to help spruce up their recently-renovated Westside location on 14th Street. We chose 10 24×36 gallery wrapped canvases of dogs all sizes, colors and ages to warm up the hallway where dogs are escorted to and from the lobby. You can see these beautiful pups if you take a tour of the facility. Since we hung these, even the dogs have started looking up as they pass to check everything out!

This location is a cage-free facility with both indoor and outdoor play yards. They have many options for boarding with their brand-new, state-of-the-art kennels and private suites. They offer grooming services as well, and all new clients get a FREE day of daycare! Check out their website for more information.

Here’s the display in its entirety – from left to right are Emmett, Eleanor, Monty, Sam, Ava & Casey, Dash, Rufus, Rudy and Murphy! (Monty and Emmett are the store manager’s own adorable pups, both Atlanta Pet Rescue alumni! The tenth canvas is hanging in the main lobby area, a perfect summer image of the two of them in the pool.)

Liz - That’s great Leesia! Those dogs are probably thinking “How can I get such a great picture taken of ME?!” It’s funny how everyone loves upside-down Dash. They have no idea that he is even cuter right-side up!

Rose, Fergus & Wales

As soon as I found out Rose and Fergus were Corgi mixes, I knew it was going to be a fantastic session! (I have always found Corgis adorable, but since we added a Corgi mix to our own pack last year, now I’m definitely a sucker!) It was so fun to see some of Ellie’s quirks in Rose and Fergus – even the distinctive thump of their tail when you’re talking to them has a unique Corgi-ness.

Rose and Fergus were rescued together and their dad’s best guess is that Rose is Fergus’s mom since she seems a little older, but they were found together and there’s definitely some kind of family relationship there. Rose is about 11, Fergus is maybe 10, and their big brother Wales is a gorgeous 12-year-old cat with huge blue eyes who was a neighborhood stray, and chose to give David the privilege of feeding and housing him.

Rose is on the left, Fergus on the right:

I love how expressive Rose’s ears are! They have about a zillion different positions.

And of course you know how much I adore turned-out paws…

Wales is very outgoing with new people and will actually bat your hand and nibble on you when you stop petting him. Funnily enough, it’s usually the “new people” issue I have to work through when photographing cats, but instead it was the click of the shutter that gave Wales serious cause for concern.

Eventually, though, he did warm up to this crazy idea of being a model!

Fergus loves to burrow in David’s bed until all the pillows and blankets are just-so:
