Stillwater Yappy Hour

Last Wednesday I had the opportunity to chill at a pirate bar with 20+ dogs and their fabulous human companions. Seriously. It doesn’t get much more fun than that folks.

Smalley’s Caribbean Barbeque is a dog-friendly restaurant in the Brick Alley Building in historic downtown Stillwater. That’s right, you can enjoy delicious Caribbean fare with your favorite pooch on Smalley’s gorgeous front patio or in the relaxing environment of their back deck where we hung out last week for a “Yappy Hour” fundraiser for Friends of Stillwater Dog Park.

A handful of photos from the event can be seen below, and additional images from the evening are available for viewing and purchase here through June 30th.

Looking for more dog-friendly patios in the Twin Cities area? Check out this great list compiled by my favorite Twin Cities dog-lovers resource, Sidewalk Dog, or play around on their interactive Dog Park and Dog-friendly Dining map sponsored by Stunt Puppy.

yappy hour…at a pirate bar!

Join me tomorrow at Smalley’s Caribbean BBQ for a Yappy Hour benefiting Friends of Stillwater Dog Park. A $10 ticket at the door will get you a free drink, appetizers, and door prize drawings. The event is dog friendly, so bring your pup and enjoy Minnesota’s beautiful patio season together! For more information on this event, please visit the Friends of Stillwater Dog Park’s event page.

And for your viewing pleasure, a completely unrelated, but gorgeous, photo of my new pal Killian from a recent session.

Please note: All pirate gear is completely optional at tomorrow’s event, but definitely photo opp worthy.:)

2010 Walk for Animals

Once again, Animal Humane Society’s Walk for Animals was a ton of fun this year! It was the first year that Phaneuf and I walked as part of a team, and I am thrilled to share that the Lucky Mutt team was able to raise over $1250 for AHS and the animals that come through their doors.

It is truly incredible to see thousands of pet-loving people gather together to help such a great organization–one of the many things that make the Walk is such a fun event to be a part of. Below is a sampling of photos taken at this year’s Walk for Animals. If you’d like to see more, you can view the entire slideshow here.

secondhand hounds: fostering change

A few weeks ago I met up with three volunteers from Secondhand Hounds, a local rescue organization based in Minnetonka. We chatted, played, and took some photos for them to use at their silent auction event coming up this Saturday. In less than one year, Secondhand Hounds has had over 270 dogs come through their organization, which is an absolutely astounding feat! If you happen to be friends with them on Facebook, you know that SHH is a 24/7 job for Rachel Mairose who truly puts her heart and soul into helping these animals in need.

I had a tremendous amount of fun working with these ladies and encourage everyone to check out their silent auction at Braemer Golf Course in Edina on Saturday evening, for food, drinks, music, and of course your chance to win a session with Lucky Mutt Photography while helping a great organization! If you can’t make it to the event you can still bid on the auction items through 7pm Saturday evening by visiting 32auctions.com, entering “SHHAuction” as the Auction ID and “helpdogs” as the Auction Password. If you aren’t outbid at the event, you’re the big winner!

team lucky mutt | 2010 walk for animals

The Animal Humane Society’s annual Walk for Animals is almost upon us! This will be my third year (along with Phaneuf’s) participating in the Walk, and while I briefly contemplated getting a booth this year to promote my business, I’ve decided to go a different route. You see, I really love walking the Walk. I love being surrounded by thousands of dog, cat, horse, pig, goat animal lovers. Taking a stroll down the gorgeous Theodore Wirth Parkway on [what is hopefully] a gorgeous, sunny May afternoon. Seeing the street lined with old toilet bowls water dishes set outside by local residents. Such a sense of community amongst the participants–how can I give that up?

Instead, I’m taking my own approach. Rather than confining myself to a 10′x10′ tent and missing out on the action, I’ve decided to encourage the action by offering you the chance to earn a complimentary session from Lucky Mutt Photography by participating in the 2010 Walk for Animals. Are you curious?? You can find the details here.

And for your visual pleasure, a few of my favorite pictures from last year’s Walk.


That’s my girl…the pool hog.:)


And you thought I was kidding about the toilet.
