So this is a little different then my usual puppy post. But I just couldn’t help myself. I want to shout it from the roof tops. I found good customer service AND great quality products all in one business!!! Now a days great customer service is hard to come by which is mind boggling to me since I believe it is a key element in a successful business. But much to my happiness Tito and I had a top notch experience with Mr. Chewy. Mr. Chewy is an online pet website delivering happiness and all the top natural brands to you and your pup. They are fast, efficient and competitively priced. I was so pleased with the communication from start to finish. The confirmation email, the shipment email, and the follow up email just to see how the whole experience was! Mr. Chewy, you made me and my Moster super happy. We will definitely be ordering from you again.
And even better if you order from Mr.Chewy and mention this code { PAWS9970} you will get 10% off your first order and they will make a $10 donation to Best Friends Animal Society. How cool?!
And because no blog post is complete without a photo I posted Tito on his thrown surrounded by the wonderful Mr Chewy products. His favorite is the Blue Buffalo Wilderness Turkey Jerky.

Edison {Sarasota Pet Photographer}
Happy Monday everyone! As promised I am bringing you Part Two of the Moose the Mastiff shoot. So last week you met the 200 lb. love. Well now I’d like you to meet Moose’s cousin of sorts. You see Bob and Jayne, Moose’s paw-rents, have a daughter named Beth. Beth just recently rescued Edison. He is a hound dog mix. Unlike Moose, Eddie takes a little longer to warm up to you. He is a little bit more of an observer then a participant. However, if you have a bag of treats in your pocket he will be your best friend 
I couldn’t get enough of this guys soulful eyes and soft big ears. And then, just when I thought he couldn’t get any cuter, Edison picked up his toy and began to dance. Oh the smiles Here are some of my favorite shots of Edison.
Moose the mastiff {Sarasota Pet Photography}
Meet Moose, the 200 lb. mastiff.I don’t think you realize how big 200 lbs of dog is until you are staring it in the face. Everything is just bigger. The face, the paws, the tail, the body, yet he walks around like it is nothing out of the ordinary. It makes me laugh because Bob and Jayne have completely “Moose-d” their life. Their suburban was a purchase out of necessity as their previous car couldn’t fit a Moose in the back seat. It’s a common sight to see a dish towel in the back of someones pocket which doubles as a drool rag. Yup this house has gone to the dog…..Or should I say Gone to the Moose. Here are some of my favorites from Moose’s session. And stay tuned next week as I’ll be introducing Moose’s cousin, Edison.
Kabuli {St. Petersburg Pet Photographer}
Dr. Tiffany Rimar is my vet. And she is a darn good one at that if I do say so myself. You see Tito started having seizures about a year ago. Typically the only option is to give a dog phenobarb for the rest of its life. Dr. Rimar is one of the few vets in the area who takes a more holistic approach to the treatment of your pet. Tito has a special diet of fresh meats, vegetables and grains, herbs and acupuncture. Yup I said it, Tito gets acupuncture. I believe this has helped him a lot. I am forever grateful for Dr. Rimar and recommend her to anyone. But in addition to her holistic veterinary skills she is also an amazing mom {of the four legged kind}. Kabuli is her canine kid. The bond they shared was super special. You see while Dr. Rimar was in vet school Kabuli entered her life as a lab dog. Dr. Rimar saw much more then that and decided to make her part of the family. Talk about a rags to riches story. This was a really fun session with everyone. Here are some of my favorites from the shoot.

Happy Howl-o-ween
Just wanted to share a few pics of the first ever real sighting of Count Dracula. It’s very rare to see him out of his coffin, especially during the day but we were fortunate enough to spot him during one of his few outings. Just looking at these pictures might strike fear into your soul so heed this fair warning.
Hope everyone has a very Happy Howl-o-ween from me and Count Dracula-ah-ah-ah.
Dear Jake {St. Petersburg Pet Photography}
Dear Jake,
As long as I have lived in Pass-a-grille I have known you…..Well, not really known you, maybe more like “acquaintance” known you. But I do recall every other day seeing you go for your walks off leash with your mom and sister, Scout. I always wondered how you could be so well behaved. You knew your route and didn’t stray from that. And I loved it when our paths crossed you would come up to me and just lean on my legs. I’m not going to lie, there were a few times when I didn’t anticipate your full body weight against me and I would stumble backwards. And then, it happened. I received news that your kidneys were failing. Jake, I am so sorry that this happened, and I wish I could’ve taken the pain away from you. I’m sure your mommies felt the same way. We all just wanted the ol Jake back. Well, that wasn’t how it ended. I’m still missing you. I’m still wishing you back. But I’m glad you are safe, pain free, and up in doggie Heaven. You left a huge impression on me as well as everyone in the “grille”. Such a beautiful soul.Lots of love to you. And lots of love to your family.xo

Shadow + Diamond {St. Petersburg Pet Photography}
Today I would like to introduce you to two sisters, Shadow and Diamond. These beautiful weimaraners belong to Bob and Tracey. I was so excited when Tracey contacted me. They found out about me through Max’s mom {the adorable shih tzu I photographed last summer} and wanted to capture their girls in action. These girls were great. I was so excited when I came to the door to see two wagging tails greeting me. Turns out they were more excited about my camera bag which was filled with chicken strips. The first part of the shoot took place in the backyard. You see Diamond is 12 years old so while she totally wanted to be a part of the shoot non stop, we needed to make sure she took her a/c breaks. Being a model is such hard work The second part of the shoot took place at a park near their house. It’s where Diamond and Bob always used to walk.Here are some of my favorites from this session.
Dog Days Of Summer Success
I would like to send a HUGE thank you to everyone who came out to support the Dog Days of Summer event at Fletchers Harley Davidson last month. This is my second year volunteering for this event and I must say, I have thoroughly enjoyed myself. Last year we were able to raise just over $1,000 for the SPCA of Tampa Bay. This years goal {my personal goal} was to raise even more money for our new beneficiary, Bay Area Animal Response Team {DART}. I am happy to announce that we raised $1300 for DART!!!!! There were so many amazing pups {and even one cat} who came to show support. 42 sessions in 5 hours made for one successful event. Thank you thank you to everyone. Here are some of my favorite memories from the day.
