Chinese Crested Dogs!

The first time I photographed Chinese Cresteds I wasnt sure I liked them.
I kept looking and finally realized that I did like them, they look just like little horses.


With a mane , tail and fetlocks, they move with the grace of a horse.

Old Friends

Old Friends

Every morning this older man and his dog ran on the beach. He would run two miles then swim with his dog Molly with him.

After two surgeries she had a hard time keeping up and sometimes waits for him while he runs

I always thought of the simon and garfunkel song old friends when they went by

Long ago it must be

I have a photograph

An interview I did with Charlotte Reed for Petcentricauthors about my new book Tricks for Treats.

RIP Scarlet Tanager

Poor timing on the Scarlet Tanager's part lead to his demise by speeding car.

It offered me the opportunity to see one up close and rather personal . The color is incredible and I didnt know that the males are only in this breeding plummage for a short while. In the summer they turn drab olive green, similar to the color on the tip of the wings here.
