I really think it is important to give back in some way. I have a few pro bono clients that I work with that I love. One of them is the Agoura Animal Shelter. Two of my dogs Echo and Alta came from there and were lucky to land there. The shelter has the most amazing group of volunteers who work with the animals to make sure they are placed with good homes. They raise money on their own for special needs dogs and cats that need operations. Where other shelters opt for less humane ways of dealing with the sick, these people come through. For the last two years we have shot holiday gift tags that are sold to help raise money for these medical needs. I was greeted by Cookie the Jack Russell and her six puppies who were so cute. It was complete chaos, but we got some great photos for the cards. I some how managed not to bring Cookie home….strength…pure strength! The link below will take you to the store to order tags. A big lick from the pups in thanks.

Beverley and Mike are the best couple. We laughed so much during their engagement photos! Every couple has their story and Bev and Mike are truly best friends. We added their four dogs into the mix which was great chaos. . I love Bella the black pug, who spends her time plotting the demise of Chico. If any one is wondering if Bev is as nice as she seems….she is nicer! They took me out to their favorite sushi restaurant as a thank you, where we ate a lot, and laughed even more. Congratulations to Bev and Mike and their wonderful new life! I will post some photos, so check back…

I love the word Whim, and all it’s derivations. I love doing something on a whim… I love people with a sense of whimsy, that quirk or twinkle in their eye that sets them apart. I love creatures and things that are whimsical, they nudge the corners of your mouth up into a smile…. Whims save us from the predictable.

I have always believed in soul mates. That wonderful surprise of familiarity from some one you have just met. The person you just resonate effortlessly with…a gift in all forms. I also think we have animal soul mates. If you have been lucky enough to have dogs in your life, you know there are dogs….and then there is that special dog. That dog for me is Echo. We found each other in the animal shelter. I already had two wonderful dogs and was not looking for another. But here was this dog, who when I slid my hand under the fence, rested his head in it, and was at peace. He is the dog that is devoted to me, prefers my company to food, and drinks my coffee if I leave it. He hikes with me, and always knows where I am. He guards our Pug China from harm, because he knows she is special too. He is huge love in a dog!
