Welcome to the family, Chunk! My Mom and Sister picked up this handsome little guy on Friday. He is an 8 week old Cattle Dog. I’m not sure if you have ever met a Cattle Dog. If not, there is a very special trait that you should know about. Their bark. The bark on this fella is like, if fingernails on a chalkboard were a being, it would run scared from the sound. He’s a lucky boy to have a family that appreciates his . . . special singing voice.
Why is he looking the direction he is? Well, because I’m planning for the future. Puppies change so much in the first year of life. They grow so fast and even their overall colors shift and change. So with every puppy sitting, I’m going to plan this setup – where the puppy can look up at his full grown self in a year or so. The changes will be so fun to see. Stay tuned for next year’s Chunk!
This is Hazel, the new office mascot. Her mom was sent to a rescue in Wisconsin from Hazard, Kentucky. Maybe we should have named her Daisy Duke but I didn’t read the paperwork on her mom until after we named her. I had to laugh after I found out where she really came from. Since she flies . . . like the General Lee jumping ponds in the Dukes of Hazard (favorite show as a kid) and running from the law! She cracks me up.
I’ve committed to a personal project with Hazel for the year. I didn’t try this with the other two girls and am really excited about it. I will be doing one photo every week of her in the same studio location. 52 photos of a year’s growth. I’m three weeks in and there are some interesting learning curves and marked improvement in how she sits for the camera. She may be learning faster than me.
