So many different things in my life have had a bigger impact on me than I could have ever imagined. There was a time in my life when I don’t think I even knew that animal shelters were even a thing. Then over the course of my life my wife began volunteering at an animal shelter, then began working at the same animal shelter, then I began volunteering at the animal shelter…. Read More
Shadow came to us as a foster dog. She was such a sweat and gentle dog. I love the time we had with her before she found her new home.

Thank you for stopping by the blog today. If you log dogs… Read More
Any opportunity I get to photograph a dog. I will take it. We love to go to any kind of dog related event we can find. Sometimes the wineries in our area will have dog related events at their locations. One of our local wineries had a fun event that included vendors selling dog related items. The event also included several dog rescues who had dogs there who were available for adoption…. Read More
Little Kira was fun and adventurous for an older dog when she came to live with us. We had such a good time with her. This photo is from one of our adventures. Through our bond with our Bernese Mountain Dogs we have had the opportunity to meet people and go to some fun events. This photo is from the International Bernese Mountain Dog Walk we attended. We stopped to enjoy the… Read More
Josie was one of our sweet Bernese Mountain Dog tribe that we have gathered in our home over the years. We were fortunate enough to adopt Josie from a rescue out in Ohio. Josie was such a sweet and shy girl. She loved to spend time with us. Unfortunately we did not get to spend as much time with her as we would have liked, as is too often the case. One… Read More
Golden Retriever performing obedience trials. Of all the things I see dogs do at dog shows one that seems the most amazing to me is all the different tasks they can accomplish during obedience training. I think part of why it seems so remarkable is because it seems almost unnatural for a dog. Obedience is all cognition and learning for the dog and human team. In other activities a big part of… Read More

We have had many dogs pass through our doors. Some dogs we were fortunate enough of share long portions of our lives with and others not so much. We have had a propensity for takin in dogs that have unique challenges. Some life events perhaps could be foreseen others could not. And every tale of the life of a dog spent with humans comes to its own unique end under unique circumstances…. Read More
Comet has become quite the fixture at our house. He has been a long term foster at our house. At this point in time it seems he will live his entire life with us. He is a pretty good dog, but has his issues. He doesn’t always get along with other dogs. At least he doesn’t get along with a couple of the dogs that live with us. This can present challenges….

We enjoy taking our dogs out whenever we can. This obviously includes going for walks. When we can we will take multipole dogs with us. As someone who is obsessed with both photography and dogs I always try to make this equally about photography as it is about out dogs. This local park is a perfect place for both dog walks and photography. There is a nice flat path to walk on…. Read More
Our pet family has constantly evolved and changed over the years. We have never had fewer than 2 dogs. The newest member to our family has been Colton. He is around two years old now and he is a big goofy Bernese Mountain Dog. I don’t know if we have ever had a dog who was less aware of his interaction with the world. He has no concept of his body in… Read More
