Waterloo Dog group walk ~ {Ontario pet photographer}

merrick and i enjoyed the company of more than thirty wonderful owners and over a couple dozen awesome dogs today …

… as we joined Tami Packham, Certified Educator Trainer, of Waterloo Dog, for an awesome group walk.  (and yes, merrick’s up there.)  it was a big group and hard to cram into a frame.  next time we’ll try stairs, guys.

merrick made a ton of friends along the way, and hopes to enjoy playdates in the future …

… even if they’re a terrifying twelve-legged norwich  tarantu-terrier …

i’d have taken more photos, but was truly enjoying the break.  what an awesome morning!  and coffee courtesy of Bark & Fitz.  thanks, everyone!  see you next month!  and thanks, Tami, for such a great monthly group.

NOTE: for anyone at the walk this morning who would like a digital copy of the top image, let me know.  you can’t tell from the blog-sized image, but it’s a good, clear image of everyone … if you happened to want a print of a bunch of nutty people with their dogs in Waterloo Park, that is.  🙂

  • Marcia AguiarWhat a great group! Special comments:

    1)Love the one who gave his back to you 🙂 (front row, 3rd dog from left)

    2)Love, love, love to see Merrick sitting pretty by himself, cute tilted head, waiting for you to take the group picture. What a wonderful job you’ve done with this guy!

    3)Love the German Shepherd and the Bull terrier having a chat. I guess this BT was super friendly with other dogs, which is not common in this breed that loves people but most of the time doesn’t speak dog.ReplyCancel

crazy eyes dobie ~ {Waterloo, Ontario dog photographer}

this is Dobie, another shorter session client, and he’s got some crazy, awesome eyes …

this boy is a pure athlete … and ran almost non-stop during our shoot …

sometimes he even smiled when he ran …

but sometimes he stood still … for a bit …

but not for long …

thanks for the smiles, Dobie.  i hope your mom and dad enjoy your gallery.
