This toot makes me miss my #PetPhotography days. I worked with rescue animals taking their petfinder photos. I need to get back to that. I need to find a rescue here to work with. #photography #AnimalRescue #PetRescue

Frankie, my Bouvier, taking a rest on the upper porch while guarding her brand new soccer ball. Typically she will deflate the ball within a few days of use, but still loves to chase it, toss it, chew it and shake it around the yard.

Kenai & Beau... the bestest of BFFs! ❤️ ❤️

I took this photo after they'd had a long session of rolling around in the grass together, mostly playing "bitey-face" (their favorite game).

Their happy smiles tell their story... they may look like an odd pairing on the outside, but they connected from the get-go, and they just REALLY dig each other. 💕

Two dogs (a husky mix and a French Bulldog) sit side by side on a lawn, with a background of lush greenery. Both dogs are looking straight into the camera lens with smiles on their faces.

Frankie, my Bouvier, is ready to greet our guests. This is the first house gathering that she will be a part of. We’ve told our friends that dogs and kids are welcome so it should be a madhouse today. The best kind of day! #AltTxt #AltText #DogsOfMastodon #BouvierDesFlandres #PetPhotography

Photograph taken at eye level looking down and at an angle. A big, black, fluffy dog is laying on a white dog bed and looking at the camera with her tongue out. The bed is on a wooden floor in front of the television unit. See description for more details.

Atticus was a red Devon Rex kitten belonging to a friend - I popped over to get some photos of him, tried some action shots and was lucky enough to catch this shot of him having just missed batting a toy he was swiping at with his paw!

For #Caturday here's an old photo of a friend's cat called Boris when he was a 6 week old kitten. His eyes were just starting to gain their colour (from the initial kitten blue).

His coat is a mix of tabby and white.

Finnegan's subtle contribution to Tongue Out Tuesday as he enjoys his pot of cat grass. 🌱 😺

My cats LOVE chewing on grass, so I keep two rotating pots of cat grass going at all times (one growing and one ready to munch on). It seems to help settle their stomachs, and it keeps them away from my plants... win-win! (and my ponytail palm is very thankful) 👍

Another throwback (that's what Thursdays are for, right?).

This is Penny, or Princess Penny as she prefers. She's sister to Sizzle & Olive and she lives next door to them. Penny is the biggest love you will EVER meet. Every time she sees me she waits to be scooped up like a baby so she can get all the belly rubs and kisses. What a precious girl she is. ❤️

I took this a few years ago during a walk with my buddies Beau, Indie, and Roxie. Indie & Roxie were happy to pose, but Beau the Bulldog had to be a diva and do his own thing. Or maybe he just thought his backside was his best side? 😄 Whatever the case, it's now one of my favorite photos. ❤️

On the far right of the photo, the bulldog sits with his back to the camera looking out at the view, while the other two dogs are facing the camera with smiling faces and tongues out. In the distance you can see the Seattle skyline (partially hidden behind Queen Anne hill), with the top of the Space Needle in view as well as Mt. Rainier and Elliott Bay.

Flashback to the look Indie would give me whenever I stopped petting him. 🥺

He loved riding shotgun so I could give him pets while driving. This time we were stopped in traffic and my hands were idle, neither driving nor petting him, so he gave me this sad, forlorn look. You can almost hear the violins. 🙄 😂

Indie, a blue merle australian shepherd (black, white, and red markings with a large white floof of fur on his chest), sits in the passenger seat of the car. He's looking over at the driver (me) with his head is bowed, but his brown eyes are looking up at me with a sad little expression, hoping it'll make me pet him. We're stopped in traffic, so cars can been seen out the passenger window behind Indie, as well as blue sky, clouds, and trees.

A little glimpse behind the scenes of a photo shoot. This is what happens when the photographer (me) runs out of treats, but keeps taking pictures... ☹️ 😒

Indie was just disappointed in me, but I'm fairly certain Beau was plotting my demise. 😳

This dual cat photo/selfie came out exactly as planned. I was cat-sitting Poppy when I noticed she was intrigued by the shutter clicks of my camera. So I put the camera on the balcony ledge she liked to balance on, used a remote trigger app on my phone. Put my head between Poppy and the camera and the remote trigger in my hand and started clicking away.

The siamese has his paws folded underneath him, while the tabby's paws hang down the back of the chair. They're both looking in the same direction (to the left of the camera) with an expression of great interest and concentration. They're lit from the front by the window they're gazing out of (not seen in the photo), and they're backlit by a wall of windows behind them.

Can’t miss out on #WhiskersWednesday! Here’s Popoki with her white whiskers, all ready for her closeup. 😽❤️

Closeup photo of a calico kitty with green eyes and white whiskers, looking directly into the camera with a curious, relaxed expression.

Surround-sound head-tilt, puggy style. 🙃 🙂

I can always count on Gigi & Calvin to provide the highest quality head-tilts in the city (dare I say county? state? I could go on). ❤️

Two pugs, one black and one fawn, sit beside one another on a jute rug. One is tiling her head to the right and the other is tilting his head to the left, and both are looking at the photographer.

Can't pass up #WhiskerWednesday, so here's Bella in all her curvy-whiskered glory!

I've been taking care of Bella for about a decade now. I only pet sit her a few times each year (her dad doesn't travel very often), but every time I visit she's as sweet and cuddly as ever. One of the most precious kitties I've ever known! 😽 ❤️

Close up of a tabby cat with bright green eyes and curly white whiskers. She's facing the camera but looking off to the left with a curious expression on her face. She's illuminated from the light coming through the window on the left.

It's #Mondog and Day 19 of #ArtAdventCalendar, so of course I combined the two!

Here's my good buddy, Kenai, back when he was a puppy. He's happily showing me the stick he found... he was very excited about that stick! 😄 🐶

This was the winning photo in a pet portrait contest sponsored by The Dogist & Sony, so I'm quite proud of it.

A yellow labrador puppy looks straight into the camera with bright eyes and a big smile on his face. He has a stick in his mouth, and his right paw is hooked over the top the stick as if inviting us to play with him.

Day 12 of #ArtAdventCalendar falls on #Mondog, so how could I NOT post one of my favorite pooches of all time??

This is my daycare buddy, Beau. I took care of him for almost 10 years and we had so many adventures together! He passed in 2020 and boy do I miss him, but his memory lives on the hundreds of photos I took of him. ❤️

Here he is doing his best impression of Superman. I think he nailed it. 😄

A brindle pied French Bulldog in a red & black winter coat sits stoically on a park bench. He's looking off into the distance with a serious expression. The photo is taken from below, looking up at him, and the background is a vivid blue sky with wispy clouds, grass, tall pine trees, and water & mountains in the distance. He looks like Superman ready to take off to rescue someone.

The looks I get from Sizzle & Olive when I need to walk them, but it's cold and rainy outside. 🥺 🥺

It's a wonder I manage to get them outside at all during the winter months. They're convinced the rain will melt them like sugar lumps. 🙄

Two blond dachshunds are cuddled up together in a cozy, sherpa-lined blanket. They're looking up at the photographer (that'd be me) with pathetic, sorrowful expressions because they don't want to leave the comfort of their bed to go outside in the rain. Major puppy dog eyes pulling at the heart strings. They are WORKING it.

Little Gigi and I wish all of you wonderful Mastodonians a very good night (or good day, wherever in the world you happen to be)! 😴 😊

A little black pug is sound asleep on my chest with her arm stretched out in front of her and her head tilted to one side as she snoozes.

Happy Caturday from my precious little fur-niece, EmmaBella (we call her Bella)!

My sister adopted Bella and her sister Beatrix (whom we call Trixie) 3 years ago, and they’ve ruled the house ever since. 😄😽😽

A calico kitty with golden eyes and white fur along her chest, arms, and half of her face stared at the camera with curiosity. She’s comfy in her bed as she patiently poses with a sweet expression.

Meet Calvin. 🐶

This is Calvin's please-may-I-have-a-treat face. 🥺

It is very hard to resist. 😖

A fawn pug with big brown eyes and perky ears stares at the camera, bursting with anticipation.

Throwback photo of my sweet Milo. 😸

His expression here is basically “you know I hate that camera… why is it in my face?” He never liked being photographed, but he was such a beautiful boy, how I could I resist??

Mr Crankypants has been gone almost a year now, but I still miss him every day. ❤️

Closeup photo of a brown & black tabby cat with white whiskers, an orange nose, a white chest, and bright green eyes. He’s looking to the left of the camera (straight at the photographer, me) with an annoyed expression on his face.

This is Sizzle. He is my current mood. 😴

Goodnight all you wonderful Mastodonians! Sleep well (or have a wonderful day… wherever in the world you happen to be). 😊

A little blond dachshund is lying on his side, sound asleep in his fleece-lined clam bed (a bed that has a lid).

TFW you suddenly realize you may have bitten off more than you can chew. 🤪

Indie never saw a stick he wasn't willing to conquer!

An Australian Shepherd struggles as he tries to wrangle an enormous stick in his mouth. He's leaning to one side with the weight of the stick, and his eyes are all wonky as if expressing his surprise that the stick is not within his control.

This is an older photo of mine (taken around 2017), but still one of my favorites. I took this while Basil the golden retriever and I were enjoying a break during our urban hike. He found himself a nice big stick to chew on while I enjoyed the views!

A sunny view of the Seattle skyline from atop a hill, featuring the Space Needle and a snow-covered Mt. Rainier in the background. In the foreground atop the hill is a golden retriever happily gnawing on a huge stick he's found in the dirt. Behind the dog are trees with autumn leaves of orange & yellow, and the sky is blue with lots of cirrus clouds.

This is Ellie 😀
