Pooch helps pop the question
April 3rd, 2010 | Author: xan
“I’d like to arrange a photo shoot as a gift for my girlfriend. And could you do one extra little thing? …” So began one of the most distinctive shoots I’ve had so far. Anthony went on to explain that he wanted photos of his girlfriend, Natalie with her dog, Abigail, and himself. And at the end of the session he wanted me to photograph him getting down on one knee and proposing! To Natalie, not Abigail — just to be clear. I think Abigail approved when her lady said, “YES!”

Boulder Daschund featured in USA Today’s “Working Like a Dog”
February 28th, 2010 | Author: xan
One of our very own local canines has recently become a national celeb featured in USA Today — and taking a look at Fritz I think you can see why. Fritz is a working dog, putting in hours of overtime as the personal assistant to Carol Brock, editor of Boulder County Home & Garden Magazine.

When Brock adopted Fritz from the Humane Society of Boulder Valley about a year ago, he was in sad shape. Now he is regularly featured in the magazine and has become quite the socialite. “Everybody knows him. It’s ‘Hi, Fritz’ wherever we go,” she says.
He earns his kibble by performing by performing tricks for his office peeps and adoring fans. “He learns things in a second,” Brock says. “I thought I’d teach him some tricks and he’s so smart — he learns after just one or two times — I ran out of ideas for tricks.” She went to the bookstore last week for help: a book of 101 dog tricks. She figures it’ll be a few weeks before he masters them all.
That’s what she gets for adopting a smart dog. Stick with Great Danes and you’ll work on the same six commands for the rest of their lives. Heaven help me, I do love ‘em big and dumb.

Let’s All Vote for the New Guy: The Pyrenean Shepherd
February 15th, 2010 | Author: xan
Westminster dog show opened today. I have never, ever, ever picked the winner. Not even picked the winner of the breed or category or anything. But I love it anyway. I’m torn this year between Westminster and the Olympics but Bob Kostas’s new hair color is throwing me off so I’ve decided to stick with the dogs. Fave newly recognized by AKC dog of the year: The Pyrenean Shepherd. Check this dog out!

Extreme Dog Grooming: Camels, Buffaloes and Horses, Oh My
February 10th, 2010 | Author: xan
Ever seen a camoodle? Or a Clydesdoodle? Thankfully these are not new cross-species designer dog breeds, they are poodles groomed to look like a camel and a Clydesdale, respectively if not respectfully.
Clydesdoodle
A couple of these dogs actually seem to be enjoying themselves. Most of them are just enduring the humiliation. So while I applaud the groomer’s over-the-top creativity, I still feel really, really bad for the dogs. But not so bad that I could resist sharing these photos with you.
Buffaloodle. For the CU fans:
Buffadoodle
Keep in mind that the abominations sculpted and dyed into their fur will in most cases be shaved and washed away the next day. They don’t have to go to the dog park looking like that.
