This is another shot of Ginger from her impromptu photo shoot on Sunday. What does her facial expression say to you?

What is it with animals staring me down? (See yesterday’s kitty photo.)

Project 52 Week 46: Family of Pets

On November 25, 2012 By LindyIn family, photography1 Comment

Like many of you, I’ve had a lot of family time over the last few days. Tomorrow is the start of something I’m incredibly thankful for: the opportunity to go on a mission trip to Haiti. Until I return with some [hopefully] moving stories and photos, here are some shots of family pets I took at Thanksgiving.

My in-laws’ cat Buddy wanted to be the centerpiece (and center of attention) on the dining room table.

Katie, a beautiful Sheltie show dog owned by Aunt Sue.

Katie (and Kendell, not shown) had a great time frolicking outside.

Big surprise, my cat Esme also thinks she owns the place.

This is my favorite photo of my friend Julie’s dog from a holiday portrait session we did last week. Check out that tongue. Isn’t she adorable?

Take Your DOG To Work Day?

On April 16, 2012June 20, 2012 By LindyIn charity, photography

You read it right – my office hosted Take Your Dog To Work Day on Friday. We had about fifteen dogs in the office, and for a couple of hours they were all in one room for some festivities. It sounds like complete chaos, but the dogs were on their best behavior at all times. Why did we host Take Your Dog To Work Day? I’m so glad you asked. Our staff wanted to promote a fairly new American Cancer Society event called Bark For Life, which is basically a Relay For Life for dogs. There will be two Bark For Life events in Kansas City this April/May. If you have a dog, you should look to see if there’s a Bark For Life in your area!

Brandy was one of the best-behaved dogs, as she stayed in her owner’s cubicle all day!

This is Ozzie, named after a St. Louis Cardinals player.

This dog should have won a ‘cutest face’ contest!

Many dogs hung out at the American Cancer Society office all day.

Day 283: Puppy Dog Eyes

On October 10, 2011 By LindyIn photography

I have a deep love for animals, but I’ve never been a huge fan of large dogs. At least I never thought I’d want one for myself … until I met Dexter. He is just the sweetest, most playful dog! He will lick you and cuddle with you just like a cat, but he never holds a grudge. If you spoil a dog, it thinks you’re queen. If you spoil a cat, it thinks it’s queen.

Days 203-204: A little of this, a little of that, a lot of heat

The downtown Y is getting a new roof, so it’s been surrounded with scaffolding the last couple of weeks. No one was working when I took this photo Friday…possibly because of the 103 degree temperatures?? On Saturday we hung out with some friends, and I think the heat was affecting all of us, including their dogs, who were particularly lazy that day. I think we might break the 1936 heat record of 39 days of 90+ degree temps.

Day 30: Puppy love

On January 31, 2011 By LindyIn photography

Yesterday we hung out with our friends Mandy and David and their dog Dexter. They made us some tasty lunch and incredible dessert, and Dexter provided the entertainment. After a couple of hours he finally got tired out and relaxed with David … who I’ve been told is his favorite.
