a few scruffies from our fabulous summer ~ {Ontario pet photographer}

… just trying to catch up with all of the scruffies we met during our fabulous summer of shooting.  these are images that were shared on the scruffy dog facebook page; if you’re wanting to keep up with all of the scruffy clients and scruffy happenings as they’re happening, the facebook page is where it’s happening.   but for those who aren’t into facebook, we have our shiny, new blog to share the images with you.

first up, we have the very handsome Casey …

coming in from Toronto, his sheltie-beagle self really enjoyed the scruffy dog location … lots to sniff, lots to chew on …

i think he was even smiling a little once we hit the beach …

then again, it’s safe to say that Casey pretty much smiled through his entire session.

except when he had an itch.  and if you’ve got an itch …

lots of fun with the scruffy dog balls … i think this eight-year-old boy felt like a puppy again.

thanks for being so much fun, Casey …and being oh-so handsome!

then we had Riley Scooter.  it was love at first sight with this little scruffnut.

Riley shares his life with Shannon of Release the Hounds in Guelph, who offers dog-walking and doggie-daycare services.i think hanging out with so many other dogs is what has given Riley his attitude … i got a lot of “speak to the paw”.  okay, actually, it was his high-five.and like any good terrierist, Riley was big-time into the scruffy dog balls.  just look at that focus. a while ago, it was a photo of Riley that inspired me to share this quote from Roger Caras…

i just love this scruffy! he flies …

and he soars!

that Riley is just all-around amazing.  thanks for sharing your little boy with me, Shannon!

then we have Bozley.  what a sweet old man …

Boz belongs to Dr. Christine of the Dufferin Vet Hospital in Orangeville.

this wonderful old boy is battling cancer, has arthritis and lives life large as a tripod on his three legs.  much to Christine’s surprise, Boz had a lot more giddy-up than anyone could have expected at his scruffy session … giving me at least a few opportunities to capture some action shots.and he certainly surprised us all when – after his tiring two hour session – he found new life when reunited with his favorite ball and took a little spin around the expansive front yard.  honestly, it was hard to keep up with him!although this session was just for Boz, i couldn’t resist a couple of shots of Boz’s sister Bella …

and baby brother Beau.

and few other scruffy faces that were shared on the scruffy dog facebook page … we have Emjay the pug-cross, posing it up in the train tunnel.  and no, that’s not “evol” on the wall behind her … that’s gotta be “love” backwards.

and this is little Pippa.  Pippa’s mom thought she’d be tough to handle at her session, but as is usually the case, the ones presumed to be a handful are usually the best … and those dogs whose owners think are perfect turn out to be the nutbars.  🙂    Pippa was a doll for her session.

and this is Pippa’s older sister, Mackenzie. just look at that beautiful face!

i hope you enjoyed this little facebook catchup.  stay tuned for many more as we are over 100 images behind in posting to the blog due to the time it took to get the site/blog launched.  lots more to come!!  enjoy your week.
