Do you know someone in the Sacramento area looking to give a dog or cat a forever home? If so, mark your calendars for the Cosumnes River College Veterinary Technology program’s annual adoption day on Sunday, April 29th! In addition to the twelve dogs up for adoption, there will also be eight very cute cats (seen below) looking for homes this year! 🙂 Interested parties can contact Cheryl Buch at buchc@crc.losrios.edu for adoption details.
I was psyched for this week’s theme in my 52 Project group since it gave me an excuse to take Samantha and visit one of my favorite places in town, the UC Davis Arboretum. There’s a long creek that runs right through the middle of the place, so there’s no shortage of bridges there! The last few times I’ve visited the arboretum the weather’s been really nice and I’ve seen a lot of other local photographers taking advantage of the good light and backdrops, but so far I’ve been the only one photographing pets, not people! 🙂
If you want to check out some more fun and fantastic takes on the same theme, check out fellow photographer and 52 Project group member Tiffany Haulton’s blog! Tiffany’s got a good eye, so I know you’re in for a treat. 🙂 And of course feel free to keep following the links until you wind up right back here. Thanks for stopping by — I’ll see you next week!

I can’t believe how much time has gone by since I last participated in the BBN 52 Project! The weeks since the holidays have been incredibly busy, and they don’t show signs of slowing down anytime soon! So it’s with that in mind that I have to make a confession: I bent (or perhaps broke) the rules on this week’s theme, and am offering up a new take on an old photo. I hope the group doesn’t mind, but it’s been so long since I contributed that I wanted to do something, and I thought this photo of Cocoa the super athletic Husky mix was a perfect fit! I mean, look at that air! I love it. 🙂
As always, we like to set visitors up so they can easily click through a whole array of fantastic photos from the bunch of pet photographers that participates in the 52 Project, so click here to get started by scoping out talented photographer Steph Skardal’s take on this week’s fun topic!

This week’s theme for the 52 Week Project was “Breaking the Rules.” Now I’ve been lucky that rules have never been much of an issue with Sam. She is, by and large, a very well behaved dog. But one thing that we have struggled with over the years — mainly because I have a hard time being consistent — is her not sleeping on the bed. So it doesn’t come as a surprise when, if I’m being really boring for an extended period of time — like when I’m working on photos from a session — Sam will sometimes disappear from her normal spot by my side. In those moments, I will inevitably find her lying on the bed, trying to catch some Z’s before I send her packing. Sometimes, though, I like to pretend not to notice, and let her spend the night curled up by my feet…
As always, the rest of the group’s interpretation of the week’s theme can be seen by clicking through the links at the end of each post. This week, I’m delighted to be able to send you over to Scott Robinson of Aussie Dog Photography. So head on over and see what he and the rest of this talented bunch have to offer by clicking here!

In some ways, Tana is not your typical Bernese Mountain Dog. She tips the scales at just over 60 lbs., for instance, which is very lightweight for her breed (personally, I think Tana’s size adds to her charm). But in many other ways — the ways that matter, I would say — Tana is a classic “Berner”. She’s energetic and playful, yet able to reel in her excitement at a moment’s notice. She’s also a people lover, and I was amused to find that one of her favorite places to sit while I was petting her was right on my feet, looking up at me with a face kind of like…well, like this:
I was lucky enough to spend part of an afternoon with Tana and her person at the UC Davis arboretum recently. I can assure you, she is every bit the amazing dog that she looks, and I was honored to be able to capture her on camera.
