In our house we love dogs. My wife tries to proclaim she likes cats better, but I am not sure I believe her. We are or at least I am a dog person through and through. We have been fortunate to bring so many different dogs into our home over the years. Some dogs came to us as puppies and lived with us until old age. Other dogs came to us later… Read More

Paxton. What to say about this dog. Paxton was amazing in many ways. He was an amazing loving and fun dog. He was also amazingly challenging. We had such adventures with him. Hiking. Climbing mountains. Splashing in water. Fetching sticks. Camping. Too many memories. But we crammed so many memories with the short time we had with this dog. In this photo Paxton is sleeping by the camp fire on a vacation… 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

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
We recently did something that from the outside probably seemed rather rash to most people. We woke up one day with no immediate plans to get a puppy and the next day we had added a new puppy to our family. While it was sudden and unexpected it was not exactly unplanned. It was less rash from inside our little bubble than it may seem for anyone seeing our updates on social… Read More
Tonight is our last night with the four foster puppies that we are fostering through the Chemung County SPCA. These are four of the dogs they transported up to the shelter from the south. We spent the evening playing outside for a while and I was able to capture some photos. Help me support the Chemung County SPCA by buying one of these prints from my website for prints at KRNaturalPhoto prints and… Read More
About two years ago my wife and I did something I never dreamt we would do. Our affinity for shelter and rescue dogs grew over the years. We volunteered at the local shelter. We fostered dogs and cats. We began adopting dogs from our local shelter and volunteering there. We enjoyed helping our local animals. We also fell deeper and deeper in love with Bernese Mountain Dogs. Then our love of shelter… Read More
I was able to get outside and take a few photographs of our new foster dog Sammy. I also found the below about why we rescue dogs. I didn’t write it and there was no citation to it.
