  1. los | a pup in wating

    April 4, 2012 by heaven

    he was waiting for his mum to finish shopping when i saw him in all his hooded splendor.  oh for the love… seriously?   i’m weak.

    i stopped for a cuddle, took a few pictures and waited with him to see if his mum would come out before i left.  lucky for me she did!

    i found out his name is los,  he is 11 yrs old, a rescue, probably a doxie chichi mix (ooo a chawinnie!),  his furr is bunny soft thanks to the fish oil his mum and dad give him, and he’s had nine lives.

    he’s been run over by a car, been so chubby that he had severe back issues and.. oh shoot.. i can’t remember now, but needless to say i think his ninth life is looking to be his best yet.

    so happy to have met you little dude. motor on!

  3. three boston ‘bums’

    February 18, 2012 by heaven

    so there is was.. engaged in shooting a headshot when i saw them. o.my.lord..CUTE! as they came trotting down the hill towards us, it was like a scene out of a movie.. time slowed and a gangster sounding movie soundtrack played in the background. i begged forgiveness from my client and explained that i HAD to say hello.

    meet conner, maggie and murphy.. three of the most charming bostons i’ve ever encountered. as soon as i stooped down to say say hello, conner broke out in head to toe quivers begging to be pet,  murphy the stoic leader stood watch and maggie.. sweet little girl deaf girl, just wanted to continue her walk, please.

    i love that mom had designed her own three rig harness for them, that they were covered in mud from a hearty romp.. and that i was in the right place at the right time.

    thanks SO SO much for stopping. OH THOSE bumms!

    *sniff out*

    'yes.. those are our bottoms'

    'resistance is futile'

    bye!

  4. joy | huntington dog beach

    January 17, 2012 by heaven

    ‘oh there you are peter!’  yes, i must apologize…i’ve neglected you my furry little blog.  but i’ll make it up to you.. i swear.  how about a feast of sun and surf and a 1 year old golden? yes?

    oh good…

    i spotted him and his cousin around sunset at huntington dog beach, i watched as he flung himself with absolute unbridled joy in and out of the surf.. over and over and over.

    now i did have more info for you about him, but in all the fluffing about since i came home (christmas + new years + major clean out..) i’ve lost my doggie data book.  so photos for now, will have to do.

    happy new year my friends!

    *2012 sniff out*

    'mmm.. nothing beats a sandy roll after a romp in the surf... '


    'except maybe digging!!!! wheeeeeeee..'

    'did you see my ball isn't it fabulous.. wait.. you can't see it? look closer.. :) '

    'oh you're leaving now.. ok bye.'

    November 23, 2011 by heaven

    he waited.. and he waited…. and waited some more.   i sat with him for a bit.. and we waited together,  but i got too cold and had to say goodbye.

    i hope to see him again one day with his parents in tow so that i can say a proper hello.  thanks for being such a good sweet bear.  :)

    *waiting sniff out*

    'i'll just watch the doors until they come out...'

    'did you see them?'

  6. my sniff monday | synnie’s very good day

    November 21, 2011 by heaven

    since last week his brother had the spotlight.. this monday it’s all about the sinnifur.  mommie’s little bow tie.. the grey one.. synnie winnie minnie.. sinifred..

    his story starts in our building’s recycling center.   we have a  sort of ‘take one.. leave one’ donation area that started this summer.  where we leave what we no longer want and take what goodies that we like.    i am not ashamed to say i’ve gotten some killer items this way.  but the latest find was synnie’s favorite by far.  i wasn’t sure if i wanted it, but i thought it might come in handy as prop for photoshoots so i took it back upstairs with me.

    i dropped it on the floor and went into the kitchen for snacks.  when i  returned  synn was  standing in it looking uncomfy and perplexed. i think he sensed it’s potential but  wasn’t sure how to unleash it.   this continued for a good 10 min.

    i tried to show him how to lay down, but that was wildly unsuccessful.   so i thought.. blankie!  yes a nice snuggy blankie will do the trick.  i fluffed up synn’s fav snug and the put him back in the basket, gently ‘showing’ him how to lay down.  that did it…  the next 5 hrs would see synnie doing nothing more than enjoying the heck out of that basket.  he groomed, slept,  re-positioned, sharpened a claw, slept some more, curled up, groomed again and in general had the best day.

    we would like to thank profusely the kind neighbor who gave synnie such a fab gift, but we don’t put names on our giveaways, so i’ll just have to do my best to pay it forward.

  7. my sniff monday | ollie gets his wings

    November 14, 2011 by heaven

    truth be told, he’s always had them, he is the most empathetic cat i’ve ever had.

    when i’m upset he binges (or well.. yeah.. barfs), when i get sick, he won’t leave my side, when i dance around the apartment like a crazy person.. he chases me and dances right along.

    he’s 15 now and while still sooper healthy in most every way, he has IBD and once a day is in pretty severe pain.  it hurts me that i’ve tried almost everything and can’t help him.  he’s been there for me and i want to be there for him.

    he is my angel… but, shhhh… don’t tell him his wings are showing, he doesn’t know

    *sniff out*

    p.s. ‘my sniff monday’ is a new weekly feature… a little peak at the sniffs i love the mostest… leave a note and let me know what you think.  :)

  8. duke | he had me at woof

    November 10, 2011 by heaven

    meet duke.. the most charming of charming young fellows.  he was the pup of a fellow artist at a fundraiser we held in carmel valley a while back.  (yah… see, i’m just the most teensy bit behind in my blogging…)

    he was to be a show pup but things didn’t work out and now he has ranch duties.  i’m thinking he got the better deal.

    duke you totally swept me off my feet and if my luck holds out, i’ll see you again soon. :)

    p.s. not sure if you can tell from these shots how solid his front legs are.. but they are awesome solid little tree trunks.

  9. lucy | traveling companion

    November 7, 2011 by heaven

    as we pulled into the rest stop i looked up and saw about 15 cute pups out doing their thing.   i squealed and dug for my camera… but as soon as i stepped foot out the car?  all the pups.. but maybe one or two vanished.  *sniffle*

    i was about to pack it in when this little girl caught my eye.

    her papa was a man of few words.. but i found out that her name is lucy, she LOVEs to travel and she keeps sooper bizzy exploring everything .. up to the end of her leash.

    happy trails lucy!
