Aussie Overload | Medina Dog Photographer

Mary — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 02:45:32 +0000

After much deliberation, I finally narrowed down the aussie puppy pictures to just under forty or so. I’ll be printing these up into a brag book for the puppies’ owner. From the final set, I picked a few favorites to share here. The night I took these, the dogs were participating in a puppy class in their front yard. Enjoy!

Frisbee Anonymous

Mary — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 04:30:23 +0000

Katy really should think about attending a FA meeting. She definitely has an addiction.

Not enough frisbee action for you? Check out the slideshow here for the sequence shots of Katy in full-out action.

And, to complete this as a full-multi-media event on the blog today, here are Katy and Ellie demonstrating one of their cutest tricks. Gus is just cheering them on.

Water Dog :: Lydia

What could be more perfect than a summer afternoon, a cool pond surrounded by overhanging trees and nine dogs! Late last month, I went down to visit a friend and brought my pup along to swim with her dogs and few of her friend’s dog. By the time everyone arrived, there were seven portuguese water dogs, one golden retriever and one little rat terrier. The afternoon was a blur of wet black fur.

I took a bunch of photos and am gradually working through them. This first set features, Lydia. She’s an accomplished agility, obedience and water dog. She demonstrated some of her water work and was happy to show off her favorite ball (which Gus later stole).

I love the shot above on the right. I’ve known Lydia for three years and I barely ever get to see her eyes! Since she was all wet, I did a little hair-dressing so that I could see a little bit more of that pretty face.

Yeah – the splash wasn’t really a part of the sequence off the boat – but it is Lydia splashing into the water after she dove off the dock.

More photos are on the way from the pond – we have PWD pups, a golden’s first swim and a group shot of nine dogs!

No Swimming

Going through a bunch of un-cataloged files from the spring and finding some that I really like. These two are from our walk down to the Silver River while we were visiting my parents in Ocala. It was so pretty there. I could have sat on the deck and stared into that river for hours. Needless to say, it was a hot day and our water-addict just had to go in. I let her get wet for about 30 seconds and then pulled her back up on the deck. I’m sure those gators were licking their lips – and then very disappointed.

2009 Brecksville Dog Jog | Brecksville Pet Photographer

Saturday’s Annual Dog Jog event was a smashing success. There were dogs and people, contests and prizes. This years event featured a one mile running race, a walk and a variety of contests. The weather was great and it sure looked like everyone was having lots of fun.

We were happy to be able to participate as a vendor and a photographer for the event. I’ll be posting three slide shows over the next few days so that anyone who wants to look for themselves or relive the event can enjoy the photos.

The three slideshows are:

The Race! It was a photo finish!
The Contests! This years turnout was wonderful – tricks, frisbee catching and costumes. And the ever popular, “Who Looks Like Their Dog” contest.
The Crowd! Big dogs, little dogs and their people.

Thanks to everyone who stopped by the Fur in Focus table and either signed up for the newsletter or entered the drawing for the photo cookie session. We’ll be drawing a winner and announcing it here on the blog tomorrow. Be sure to check back to see if you might be the winner!

No – they weren’t really bad. Just locked up at the shelter waiting for new homes.
