This boy is such an incredible joy. I am so happy to have a fellow beach bum in the family at last! We had such a wonderful time. It was a struggle for me to narrow down the images form last night. These are the shots left after culling several times. It was a wonderful evening! My first few years in Michigan I
Right now our life revolves around training, training, training... Training a bird dog includes doing so many things I never dreamed I would be capable of. For Leo I would do nearly anything! When training a bird dog, well there has to be a bird, right? The whole bird thing is very very hard for me. I wish there was an easier way.
I am not sure what it is about spring, maybe the whole rebirth thing and wanting to be reborn in a clean and organized new world... Spring does drive me into a cleaning frenzy. Obviously since deep cleaning is referred to as spring cleaning I am not the only one with these urges. This weekend I was finally able to dig into my
As jealous as my Spinoni Italiano get when I come home from a pet photography shoot with the scent of another dog on me, I think inside they must rejoice that they are not yet again the main subjects. My Spinoni Italiano are so patient and kind with their crazy camera obsessed mother! Today Leo and Tessie were both beyond wonderful as I

Nonstop entertainment and pure joy! Our little bug, note the antennae length eye brows, keeps a smile on my face and joy in my heart. Leo is so stinking entertaining that I rarely bother to turn the TV on. I'd much rather watch him than anything that primetime has to offer. He is growing so fast! It is a little bittersweet to watch him grow
I had so much fun playing with Harper and her pals I couldn't stop... Plenty of great images from this SUPER fun shoot!
The camera was in LOVE with Leo today. What a wonderful time we had exploring the dunes. We had the WHOLE place to ourselves! We were out on the dunes for hours and only ever saw one other person at a distance. It was wonderful... So peaceful, and I was able to let Leo run without fear. A couple more weeks and the
There are so many things that we can learn from dogs. In so many ways they are much better at living life than we are. Since I live with three of these incredible critters I feel that I need to honor the lessons that the provide by sharing my experiences with my babies. Today's lesson is one of the most obvious. Be present. Enjoy
So sorry for the lack of communication lately, I have been very busy lately getting puppy prepared. We are so excited to welcome Stella del Nord Tolstoy's Greatest Work, Leo for short, into our pack. The greatest Christmas gift ever! He has been a pure joy so far, and is fitting well into our little family. I can't wait to share lots of
