I haven’t been to a dog show since mid-April due to what I call ‘photography elbow’. My doctor diagnosed it as ‘tennis elbow’, but the pain was actually caused by lugging around my big camera and zoom lens and straining my arm. Back in March/April I was extremely busy and photographed at events every weekend for 8-10 hours per day. My elbow finally gave out and the pain prevented me from lifting my camera or anything with even a little bit of weight. I wasn’t even able to pick up a 1/2 gallon jug of water. After a few months of R&R, my arm is much better and I’m hoping to be back at the shows later this month or in August. I miss all of my dog show friends and will see you all soon!

Brewster is definitely comfortable in his own skin…er, fur. I love his little crossed paws as he peeks from behind an ottoman in this photo. His cat face shaped fleecy bed from the Siamese Cat Rescue Center is right beside him. Over the weekend he was sitting on the table about 2″ from the TV watching the tennis tourney at Wimbledon. He was actually watching the ball go back and forth across the net. It was hilarious! His little head was moving as he followed the ball. Unfortunately I didn’t have a camera nearby.

My little angel, Savannah, turns 3 years old this month! She’s as sweet as can be, but don’t be fooled by that innocent face and big blue eyes! She’s only an “angel” on the days that don’t end in “Y”!! Here she is watching the birds and butterflies from her favorite spot on the windowsill.

Here’s my most favorite Golden Retriever ever …. “Tuesday”. Check out the book he penned, called “Tuesday Tucks Me In”, available at Amazon and Barnes and Noble online. For anyone in central Pennsylvania, Tuesday and his best friend, Luis, will be visiting the Hershey public library for a book signing on September 14th. Visit http://until-tuesday.com/events3.html for more information on this and other appearances around the country.

The best dressed pet at “Paw Prints on the Canal” today in Northampton, Pa. was “Sweetness”! In addition to being the cutest thing with 4 paws, Sweetness was available for adoption! I hope and pray that she went to her forever home today! She was verrrry popular! Who could resist this flowery ballerina?
