Boston Terrier in Black and White March 17, 2009

I’ve had a lot of dogs featured on my blog lately. For those of you who aren’t “dog people,” I apologize. And I encourage you to get a dog of your own… you will quickly become a dog person. I know. I did that. :)

Anyway, this past weekend I took some photos of Miss Piper the Boston Terrier, who is a lovely model. I thought it was only fitting to process the images all in black and white. I love how they turned out!

I love how Piper looks so serious and stately in all of her photos. Petey looks a little crazy in all of his… :)

 

All Dogs Go To… Kansas City? January 25, 2009

This weekend, our house was filled with dogs! Jeff’s family came for a visit and brought along Barkley (Jeff’s parents’ Cairn Terrier) and Piper (Jeff’s sister and brother-in-law’s Boston Terrier) to play with Petey! I captured a few images of them in the living room this afternoon… so cute! :)

I LOVE this one of Barkley — check out those big brown eyes! :)

And Miss Piper:

And Petey, fresh from the groomer, who cut his beard just a little too short… hee hee. :)

A little dog-playing action shot! :)

Oh, those floppy little ears. :) I definitely don’t regret leaving his ears long, instead of cropping them like most people do with schnauzer puppies.

Piper is the only girl of the bunch, and she spent all weekend trying to meet our new next-door neighbor’s dog, who is also a Boston Terrier. Sadly, they never got to meet, but Piper still gave  Petey a run for his money. She also has the best voice/bark… basically, she sounds like a turkey! :)

Barkley is the oldest of the group, and he likes to spend most of his time cuddling, going from lap to lap. :)

Petey got in some quality time with his “grandparents” — he’s a little lover! :)

And, one more… to leave you with a laugh. :) Barkley has the best hair that stays however you style it — here he is sporting a very stylish mohawk, courtesy of Jeff. :)

Oh, dogs. They are such a joy! Do you have a dog? What kind is it? Don’t you just love how affectionate they are? :)

Dear blog readers, I have a confession.

I am one of those doggie moms.

The cute fall sweaters, graphic tees, parkas and coordinating collars were just too much to handle. Today, I broke down and bought Petey a t-shirt. Okay, and a sweater.

Now, before you judge, let me explain. Schnauzers have some crazy hair. Petey especially has some crazy hair — a mixture of coarse, wiry hair and really fine soft hair. Anyway, it was out of control and he had all of these little matted spots. So, off to the groomers he went. And out he came — still a schnauzer in the face, but more like a shaved little squirrel-dog everywhere else. 

Naturally, the best way to help my little guy preserve his doggie dignity was to buy him some super hip canine clothes. :)

Petey, thanks for being such a good sport. :)

Our little pride & joy! October 6, 2008

Petey got a haircut yesterday, and they put this cute little bandana around his neck that I just couldn’t help but do a mini photo shoot in the yard. :)

Petey’s just getting cuter with age — he’ll be nine months old this weekend. Seriously, it doesn’t get much cuter than this!

Ohhh, he just makes me smile! :)
