Tim Jarvis, a freelance writer wrote in the October, 2009 issue of "O" magazine, "My favorite small thing is a photo of my dog Kylie. Pets are almost like surrogate children. She died last year, so her picture provides a happy memory."
There is still time to have your dog photographed at the Dog Shop, 15 Baldwin St., in East Longmeadow MA 01028, 413-525-5005 on Friday October 9th or 10th, 2009.

Last Friday, 9/11/2009 I made some photographs of some great little animals that are up for adoption at the Second Chance Animal Shelter in East Brookfield MA. Baby and Bruce were two sweet dogs, a pointer mix, that are available for adoption. I would love to see some one adopt both of these dogs into a good home together.

If you like smaller dogs then Duncan a Boston Terrier would be a good choice. He was a great subject to photograph.

Lots of Cats are Available too!

Join me at the Good Dog Spot at their new location in Chicopee on Saturday 10:00 to 2:00 PM to Celebrate responsible Dog Ownership. Go to www.gooddogspot.net for more information.
Ben is getting bigger, but he is still acting like a puppy. Need to do some serious training with him.
