Coffee Alert

Just a reminder about the perils of human foods that can be deadly for dogs and other animals. My crazy girl, Alika, managed to get into my room mate's room, open up a box, pull out a tin, get the lid off the tin and devoured an entire bag of coffee beans last night. I have been up with her since 2:30 this morning with coffee beans coming out of both ends. It took almost 6 hours before she could lie down and stop pacing. Thankfully she is going to be alright. Remember to keep those foods that are toxic to pets well out of their reach!!

Melvin

I had another photo day at Natural Pet Foods in Carleton Place today. The people there are all very nice and friendly. I wanted to give something back and I had some extra time so decided to photograph Melvin. Melvin is an absolute doll. I would bring him home in a second if I could afford another animal. I hope Melvin finds his forever home soon. He's super affectionate and very cuddly. He is about 2 years old and his adoption fee will include his neuter. If you are interested in him please contact Hana at 613-256-8833 or email info@catsparadise.ca

Lighting lesson with Ed

I went for another lighting lesson with Ed this past Sunday. Wendy Beard came along with me and we each brought a dog with us. Tyra was a stellar model for me. She is quite the character and full of personality. She was very cute lying down in the chair and I just had to get a shot of it.

Gotta buy....

a new tug!!!

Flyball practice was pretty awesome this evening. I forgot Eklypse's tug so borrowed a rope tug. She was a tugging demon!! Looks like I will have to get her a new tug for flyball! She was putting feet on the box this evening...her confidence is definitely improving!! Hopefully she will run in flyball one of these days!
