Princesssss

Princess got lots of attention today from me but its not the kind she likes very much. First, she got groomed because her hair was coming back and with the heat she was just way too hot. Shaved down her body and legs but just trimmed up her face and tail. After getting groomed she got a bath. She was not happy about that. Just look at the photo above. Doesnt she look annoyed? Maybe more like pissed off, but she is such a loyal girl that she just stands there waiting for the torture to be done with.

All sprawled out on the couch after the bath. She looks like a bullet.

I think she is mad at me…

Look it! Its my little fuzzy wuzzy.

Either she is trying to be invisible so I dont torture her more or she is embarrassed with her haircut.

She isnt in a smiling mood but she is still kissable!

Princess is tired of photos but I just couldnt resist. Look at her cute little legs!

Thats Princess’ eyelash and eyeball. She has beautiful long eyelashes and big emotional eyes.

Did you enjoy those? I did! I havent taken photos of my girl in awhile. I never take enough photos of her, Lady or Oliver. As you look at Princess, cant you see that she is an angel in dog form? A human in a dog body? Well, she is my angel. Many may say she is just a dog but she is much more than that. She is my best friend, my sidekick, my hero, my angel, my life and everything else. You may own a hundred dogs in your lifetime but there is usually one that touches your heart the most. Ive never understood how people could favor one dog over the others. Until, the Princess walked into my life. I mean you will never see or hear me talk about how she is my favorite and make it sound like I dont love the other dogs. I adore my other dogs. They are all special to me but Princess is just extra special.

The William Wegman Princess Project

A few days ago I had to finish a photography project for my photo class at school. The project was to photograph like a professional photographer and I chose William Wegman. You must know his work. He is the guy who photographs his weimeraners in clothes and make them have human characteristics. His dogs have been in books, galleries and on television.

I chose Princess as my model since she is most cooperative and has the most patience. Besides trying to lay down all the time she was a very good girl. Here are a few photos of her that are some of my favorite. I took so many and the rest will be on my flickr. To me she is better than the weimeraners but that is also because she is my Princess.

Princess goes to school!

Leaving Princess in a cage in the morning at the tech school was difficult but she and I survived it. When I got back there in the afternoon she was so excited to see me. She was ready to claw her nails into my back so I could never leave her again. Before I started working on her everyone said hello to her and she LOVED that. Princess is not spoiled with food. She is spoiled with love and she shares the love too.

Princess cooperated pretty much while I groomed her. I gave her a nice bath which she needed badly. After that I blow dried her. I wasnt sure how she would react to that but she was good with it. Except, she did not like her face being blow dried. Anyways, grooming her I knew she would be pretty cooperative. Only thing she does not like done is her feet but that is common with a lot of dogs. The nice thing about Princess is she does not bite when she does not like something. She just stares at me with her big eyes, wondering if I will be done soon. Anyways, I do like how she turned out and she got a cookie after to thank her for the help. Now, I hope the two ladies who observed us all thought I did well. It was stressful but I accomplished it. So, what do you think of her new look?

Bye bye fluff

So, I spent my weekend up at the cabin with my mom and the dogs. The weather was great. Not too hot and not too cold. Perfect! My mom planted some trees and put some manure down. Let me tell ya. That stuff was da shit. Hehe. It sure stunk up the car. Almost couldnt breathe. Anyways, I got lots of exercise walking the dogs around the lake and they sure enjoyed it. They always have fun.

Guess what! I got some big news. I have my hands on test tomorrow for small animal care and guess who I am grooming. My girl, Princess! Yes, I am so excited. I get to bring Princess to my technical school tomorrow. Dropping her off in the morning before I go to my main school. She is going to hate me for leaving her in a cage alone until I get there at twelve in the afternoon. But then she is going to even hate me more when I bathe and groom her. I will make sure to give her lots of love and kisses during and after so she forgives me. Woot! I am excited. Dont worry I will show pictures of her all groomed and share with you how it went. Hope you all had a nice weekend and made some memories. I am going to curl up with my girl and get some sleep. Night.

Cabin Photography

A Hot Country Weekend

So, my mom, the three dogs and I spent the weekend up at the cabin for the first time this year. Lets say it did not start off the way we hoped. Since we do not go up during the winter we turn off the water. When my mom turned the water back on the water heater was pouring out all over the floor. Stuff was getting soaked and the dogs were trying to drink it. It was a hectic but thank goodness for a helpful neighbor who knew how to fix the problem.

My Best Friend Has Four Legs

First off, she is a dog. A fluffy chunkalicious dog. I know there are people out there who will not understand how a dog can be my best friend and more than just a best friend. Dont worry this post is dedicated to her and I will explain why she is so special to me. Than if anyone feels like arguing with me about it you can but its not a subject you can get me to change about. I also know there are a lot of people who will understand how she is my best friend. Its easy for you if you feel the same way about your dog, cat, horse, bird, lizard, fish and any other animal you have. The connection between a dog and its owner can be as strong as between two people. It can even be stronger.

Doggie Dogwood

Trees are so magnificent. Tall, strong and beautiful all at the same time. This earth would not be the same without them. I like trees but let me tell you my mom loves trees. She could never live in a place with no trees. I think she would go crazy. Hehe. What is your favorite type of tree? Mine are dogwood trees but weeping willows are right behind. The photo above is the dogwood tree in our front yard. As you can see it blooms wonderful pink flowers in the spring time. I guess dogwoods are also my favorite because look what word it has in it. Dog!

Oh, did I tell you I taught Oliver a new trick?! Well, I did. Guess which one. Rollover. He is so smart! Let me tell you. It only took me, with pupperoni in my hand and a happy attitude to get him to accomplish it. He learned it in just a few minutes. A few minutes! He is brilliant. I bet I could teach him so much more. The only problem is he gets distracted so easily and he is always bouncing around. Always! Especially, if I have food in my hand or a toy. Its a challenge but I actually wanna teach all three dogs more tricks. They know a lot already but they can learn a lot more.

As you can see. I am surrounded by Callie and Princess when I am sleeping but I would not change it for anything. Callie likes to sleep above my head or near my feet most of the time. When she is not sleeping she is causing some sort of trouble. As for Princess, she sleeps next to me on her pillow. Yes, she has a pillow. Well, its mine but since I only need one I let her use the it. If she is not next to me I am holding her in my arms. She is my best sleeping medicine. Except, she sleeps on the floor when its warm because she starts making her clucking noise. Yes, a clucking noise. I will have to record it one day. Anyways, arent they cute together? Callie enjoys being around the dogs and I am glad Princess tolerates her.

I know you all want to know which photo I chose to enter in the photo contest. Do not worry. I am planning on sharing the results with you soon. I am just as excited as you are. Hehe! Until then I hope you have wonderful plans for the weekend and have fun. It is suppose to rain all weekend here so I might not do much. Maybe, I will record some videos and write a few short blog posts. Keep checking back because the chosen photo will be up soon! Peace out.

My Dogs

The Spring Princess

Princess got her Spring haircut Sunday because the weather is getting warmer and she gets hot easily with her thick coat she has. She was not too happy with me. I mean she is the best dog out of the three to groom. Just stands there on the table being patient with me. She looks at me every once in a while wondering if I am done yet, but most of the time she keeps her head turned away. I mainly shaved down her body, belly and legs with a number seven blade. Princess and the two other dogs hate their feet groomed so that was the only challenge I had. I left her tail and just trimmed up her head a little bit. I think I did a pretty good job. Not perfect but I am satisfied with it. Now, the real challenge are the two other dogs that I must do one of these days. That will be fun. Oh, by the way Princess forgave me for torturing her when I let her snuggle with me on my bed Sunday night. Thats my girl!

Princess Goes To School

It was more like Princess sneaks into school. So, yesterday I did not go to my technical school in the afternoon and two of my friends decided to spend time with me. The three of us walked to my house and of course Oliver and Lady were wary of them and barked but Princess was all friendly. Her face is so irresistable and loving. I decided I would walk back to school with them and take Princess to surprise my mom when she came to pick me up. When we got back to the school I thought it would be fun to sneak Princess in to meet my favorite counselor. Its Princess. My girl. The dog I always am talking about.

The challenge was how do I get this twenty five pound dog in the school without getting in trouble. So, I took my hoodie off and dressed her up in it. Princess looked like she was from da hood! It was cute and funny. She cooperated and just stayed still until i got in my counselors office. Princess has a lot of patience. Of course everyone there loved her. How can you not. She got smothered with love and she loved it. The best part was I told my mom to come to the counselors office so I could surprise her. First she thought it was someone else’s dog but then realized it was Princess. She was happy and confused about seeing Princess there.

I always wanted to bring Princess at least once into the school to meet my counselor since she loves animals. So, Princess and I accomplished that yesterday, If it was allowed I would bring Princess with me everyday and all day long but its not. She is my therapy dog. Helps me when I am down and is always there for me to hug and hold. I hope you all are staying snuggly warm in this cold weather and having a lovely fun weekend.

Christmas Holidays

Memories of Christmas

Waking up this morning I walked downstairs with one hand carrying the three gifts for my mom and the other hand carrying Callie. I always love Christmas morning. Just the wonderful thought in your head of giving and receiving makes my heart pound. I always wonder if my mom will like what I get her. Will she be pleased or disappointed. The thing is she is always happy and always tells me that it was thoughtful and its the thought that counts.

My mom loved her gifts this year. Put lots of smiles on her face. So, what did I get her? I got her this coupon book that has different things to make mom happy. For example, go to a movie together or clean your room. the second gift I got her was a calendar. She asked for it and I got it for her. Santa listened. The last and best gift is a painted cow that I knew she would love. There are huge painted cows in New York City that my mom always loved and wish she could have. So, I decided I would get her a little one painted with a garden scene. She loves it. Cant stop admiring it. I am happy about that because it was difficult choosing which one to get her. I wanted something she would love and I chose the perfect one.

Look I got a mustang for Christmas! Okay okay. It is not a real one but it is still awesome. It works for me for now. Makes me work on my dream to get one some day when I have the money. The dogs had some fun chasing it. So everyone meet my mustang sally.

Another thing my wonderful mother got me was a grooming table! I am so excited about it too. It means grooming the dogs will be so much easier. The pack wasnt so happy about it though. They gave me an evil look. Haha! Now you dogs cant run away from me while I am grooming you. I have to thank Princess for putting up with me while I was taking photos of her on my new grooming table. As you can see she was not pleased about the whole situation.

My last favorite thoughtful gift my mom gave me was a little camera backpack. The perfect gift for a photographer who likes walking and bicycling long distances and taking lots of photos. It will help me get a more variety of photographs. Thanks mom for believing that I could be successful in photography profession some day. Your the best.

Overall, it was a lovely Christmas. My Grandma came over and we had wonderful food. At least to me it was great. For an appetizer we had shrimp cocktail and then for the main course meal we had ravioli! It was delicious. I always love Christmas. Just a lovely thoughtful family holiday. I hope you all enjoyed your Christmas and had a joyful fun day. I am tired and goint to get some sleep soon. Peace.
