Scotdog

Keeping in line with my track record, I have yet again had good intentions of writing a blog post here and there and then really not followed through. Internet access is scarcer (and more expensive) than I’d prefer, which means I’m on it less than I’d expected. Lauren and I have spent the last week traipsing around Scotland. (For those of you who are interested, the loop went something like this: Glasgow –> Mallaig –> Fort William –> Oban –> Edinburgh –> Glasgow). Lauren heads home tomorrow, at which point I’ll zoom over to the Isle of Mull, and then intend to make my way to Ireland next week.

I am once again bowled over by the mild manners of Scottish canines. I’ve met several dogs this trip, including a Pomeranian + Chihuahua who came to our impromptu Thanksgiving dinner and this lovely Labrador who was doing his part to bring in the clientele for this street-side bagpiper:

I will indeed try to update the blog at least once more in the next week. Cheers!

Just a quick preview of Tommy’s session this year.  Gotta love that nose…

I leave for Scotland tomorrow, so blogging will be more sporadic for the next two weeks.  (That said I’m taking my camera + my laptop with the best of intentions to blog at least semi regularly).

The last few weeks have been hectic, but I think I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel!

Sara, Scott + Abbott

Sara, the lucky owner of Mabel + Peanut is also mother to the adorable Abbott:

We met at Chautauqua Park in Boulder for an evening shoot and got so lucky with the light.  A few favorites:

Jewels & Sophie

Meet Jewels + Sophie:

Both are rescues; Jewels is a fabulous hybrid of who-knows-what and Sophie is, of course, a Scottish Terrier.

Excuse the brevity of this post; I’m conserving my words for the 30-page thesis proposal I have to finish in the next three days…

Lucy, Australopithecus Afarensis

I have sequestered myself in my dad’s mountain cabin with the stated reason of working on my thesis proposal and the secret reason of meeting his new puppy, Lucy (aptly named for Australopithecus afarensis).  She’s a Sheepadoodle (Old English Sheepdog + Standard Poodle = Sheep-a-doodle, apparently).  She smells awfully good, and is that floppy kind of puppy that will let you hold her any way you want, including upside down on her back or over your shoulder, sack-of-potatoes style.  Roux hasn’t been bowled over by the cuteness the way I have and does anything in her power to escape Lucy’s adoring affections.  She is not above hiding and seems to think–despite evidence to the contrary–that she can’t be seen from this secret spot on the stairs in between the house plants:

Back to client posting when I arrive back in civilization later this week…
