home for life: doggies

I’m not going to lie. I had some major difficulties paring down the photos for this blog post, and it’s a wee bit heavy. Seriously though, these dogs from Home for Life deserve every ounce of spotlight they get (and instantly I feel bad about the 100 I left out). As I mentioned on Monday when I was showing off the kitties, the photos below were taken for Home for Life’s sponsor updates. If you have any interest in sponsoring an animal from Home for Life, please visit their website for more information. Sponsorships are a wonderful way to help Home for Life continue to provide a secure, healthy home for so many animals. Sponsor donations can be made monthly or annually, and are a great way for families and businesses to come together for a truly heartwarming cause. If you aren’t able to sponsor an animal, but would still like to help out, look over their wishlist for items that are always in need or the memorial page for information on making a one time donation in honor of a loved one or pet.

Becky Wellington - I love your photography, however, I love ALL DOG photography anytime, anywhere! I can feel thru the pictures that these animals are smiling and happy – even tho some cannot see or walk on their own. But they know they are loved and cared for and that’s all they need. Life should be that simple, thanks for the wonderful shots.

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.

Emilee - Oh my goodness, the blue-eyed Aussie is gorgeous! Amazing eyes. Sounds like you and the dogs had a great time!

Meredith Perdue - What a fun post! I wish my town had something like Yappy Hour! Although, I’m not sure we’d be able to take our crazy lab… Hope you’re doing well and enjoying summer!

Jessica - Sooo many cuties and so many great shots!

Stephanie - What fun! Love the shot of the mini poodle and german shephard sniffing each other :)

Kristy - Ooooh, they are too cute! Especially the 5th one down. The bigs and littles always look funny next to each other, and that little is just about on his tippy toes to sniff the big.

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.
