I knew right away I’d adore this family. I fell in love with their garden before I even knocked on the front door! They have lovely light within their home, one very sleepy 2 week old daughter, plus a sweet dog named Zoe. The new parents of this little girl were obviously smitten with their newest addition, and Zoe was happy to be included in photos. It was a pleasant afternoon of watching the Mama and Papa give baby snuggles and admiring this little one!
Meet Sookie! A nine year old Welsh Cardigan Corgi who melted my heart. I met Sookie’s owner a couple of years ago, as she’s helped navigate the ups and downs with my own dog. She is a talented dog trainer and now a Educational Content Strategist, at Preventive Vet. If you don’t know of this amazing resource, please check it out: https://www.preventivevet.com/ .
We had a wonderful photo session with Sookie and Cathy. It was inspiring to see the bond Sookie has with her human. Eye contact was almost constant the whole session, except when chasing toys and admiring the view of the lake. It was obvious Sookie trusts her human, loves to train, yet knows that she can have fun barking, playing fetch and chase. She has the best ears, and a cute tiny light spot on her nose.
First off, let me say how excited I was to have a session of a furry family member. I was beyond stoked for this session. If you don’t know me, you must realize I absolutely love animals (if you saw who my dogs are in my house, you’d know). This dog Maddie is truly one of the sweetest dogs I’ve met as I’ve entered a home. She came right up to me, and makes it clear she’s a huge fan of being pet and enjoys dog cuddles. I’m all for that, I knew we’d hit it off. To make the day even easier, Maddie’s human is one of the kindest individuals I’ve met.
Maddie recently turned 10 on St. Patrick’s day. Funny enough, this sweet girl was given to her Mama by a former student. Truth be told, I’m not a huge fan of gifting dogs. But this was obviously a match that was made to be, and unfolded beautifully. Maddie got into the perfect home for herself. In the winter of 2017 Maddie was diagnosed with a tumor that is wrapped around her adrenal glands. Her family was told she only had days, maybe weeks left of her life. Thankfully this girl proved the vets wrong. She has stayed happy and the tumor hasn’t gotten worse. This sweetheart is excited to go for stroll around her neighborhood, and any couch time plus a human touch she can have. She has the best walk which is more like an adorable waddle, that is along with her gleaming eyes and happy dog smile.
