Things went a bit quiet over here! The beginning of this year was quite exciting – consisting of the purchase of new house, a huge clean-out of our old house and the subsequent move.
We’ve settled in to our new house and are anxiously awaiting the completion of a new fence so the dogs can play and play and play.
Fur in Focus will be undergoing some changes this year. I’ll be taking on a more limited number of clients and spending time working on fund-raising events for a few local shelters. It’s likely that the blog will take on a more personal tone – with more photos of my dogs and the dogs of friends and family.
Thus, Katy, contemplating her new front yard.
A sneak peek of a sweet little whippet named Seamus. We braved the cold (16 degrees!) to get these photos for a special gift. Despite the cold, it was an eerily beautiful day and we had lots of fun!
This morning I had the pleasure of meeting these two gorgeous girls. Noelle is an elegant Abyssinian. She has a regal bearing and her coloring is rich and complex. China Rose, better known as Pipsqueak, is a shy, but incredibly sweet Siamese. Both of these ladies are retired show cats and were wonderful to spend time with.
This is just a sneak peek at the images from their session this morning!
How about this border collie? He’s got all the right moves.
I’m so lucky to have friends with gorgeous dogs. These wonderful dogs belong to my dear friend and agility instructor. Not only are her dogs beautiful and well-trained, she has a yard that gets amazing late evening light.
Dearest Eva – the prettiest doberman, EVER!
And the No. 1 ambassador for the breed (there have been more rat terrier adoptions due to this dog, than just about any other breed I know), Paddy. This little guy has to be one of my favorite models. He’s completely cooperative and wonderfully patient. He’s just a great little guy (and, ahem, one of the top agility rat terriers in the country! Go Paddy!)
I used two of my favorite textures on these black and white images. One is Magic Veil, free from AlicePopkorn on Flickr. And another texture from Flickr, Aglarond by Max F. Williams.
