But, over the last several years our family of dogs living with us has been shrinking. We were down to only two dogs living with us. We haven’t had only two dogs since my wife and I first started living together. As our… Read More

For 8 years I volunteered at our local SPCA photographing dogs there so that they would have high quality photos to publish online. Having good photographs of shelter dogs helps them find homes quicker. Photos of happy dogs having fun show the dogs true personality and how that will manifest once they are out of the shelter. I had so much fun helping dogs in this way. I really miss doing this…. Read More

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

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

My wife worked at the shelter at the time. We shared information about Hiro with people we knew. It was so nice when Hiro was able to be adopted by members of our family. That way a cool… Read More
