Things I See- Pooch Panache! (Warsaw IN Pet Photography)

While I believe every dog gives you the "sad face" look in the tub, I don't think anyone can say these dogs aren't enjoying themselves while they get the royal grooming treatment from Lori of Pooch Panache Mobile Dog Grooming! I got the opportunity to ride along for a day and photograph Lori work her magic on dogs who needed everything from just a bath to the complete overhaul! Not only is it fascinating work, but it is quite physical! Her clients' owners clearly appreciate her talent, and as you can see from Teddy giving her a kiss, her clients do too!

Love this face. We didn't think we wanted him, but he has wormed his way into our hearts.

Farewell to Lizy

Lizy was Sam's dog, and I had never seen a pet quite so attached to a human before. We decided to do some personal photos with her before we said goodbye forever. We miss you every day, Lizy. We know Duke was waiting for you. ~Naomi

Things I See- Our doggies (Warsaw, IN Pet Photographer)

Some of my personal posts are way more personal than others. This would be one of them. Our dogs are our "kids". We don't have kids yet, but we sure do use our dogs as practice! When we lost Duke over a month ago, we decided to dedicate more time to photographing our dogs. It felt like we just didn't have enough moments of them. So here's a compilation of several outing where we grabbed the film camera and took them for some fun. ~Naomi

 They love splashing around in the creek, so we had to include that in our day trips!

Things I See- Django Karth! (Warsaw IN Pet Photographer)

I'll admit- it's been a rough 7 months. Sam's Grandpa, an amazing and irreplaceable force in our lives, passed away. Then we lost our precious senior cat, Quarter, to cancer. Then just a month ago our beloved Duke, a pitbull you couldn't help adore, was also lost to cancer.

We had talked about getting another dog, and decided to wait. Quarter's vacant place was filled because a friend messaged me on Facebook, having a homeless senior cat who needed a place to go- and that was how we ended up with Jedi. But we thought we'd try to live with just the two dogs...

Until Saturday, when some friends called us because they couldn't keep a stray terrier they had found. When we arrived to pick him up, we discovered he was a puppy! (I'm not a big fan of house training, etc and had vowed no more puppies- there are plenty of adult dogs who need adopted!) Well, it did not take long for this little guy to worm his way into our hearts- like 10, 15 seconds, tops!

And so, we now have Lizy, Miles, and Django Karth, in our troop of fuzzy "kids".

The thing is... he needed us... But we needed him too.

Welcome, Django! Thanks for helping us laugh! ~Naomi

Duke- Pet Photos (Warsaw, IN Pet Photographer)

Duke was the winner of our Doggie Photo Contest! We had a lot of fun taking his photos, because he is definitely cute, and has a ton of personality!

 I love this one where he is sneaking Mommy a kiss!

 And because Melissa & Zech are expecting, we took a few snaps of just them! Congratulations, you guys! We are so excited to meet Sadie in a couple months!!

Congratulations, Dukie! We had a blast meeting you and hope your "parents" love your photos! ~Naomi

Love is...

having a home that loves you...

Despite your faults...
