I know this post doesn’t belong on a dog blog. But hey… It’s my blog and I can brag on it if I want to! This is my brand spanking new, one and only grandson. His name is Remy Etienne Richey and he was born last Saturday, August 29th. My husband and I went to Houston…
Rico was surrendered to Valley Dogs rescue group by his owner because she could not afford to care for him anymore. He has special needs that require much time and money to support. He developed eye problems about a year ago and had to have one of them removed. While caring for his eyes, he was…

all the way from Tucson? if I had a dog, I would drive all the way from D.C. for you to photograph her!!! seriously. I’m not even a dog person and you’ve singlehandedly made me fall in love time and again with dogs, their stories, they gaze, their warmth. that sweater is priceless. man, Rico is one cool dog, and Terry is one cool and happy Dad. bless them both.
fantastic photos! 
Rico is a perfect example of a great pup that has found his way in life. His previous mom loved him and loved him enough to know when it was time to let him go to another home that could provide what she could not due to financial constraints. These pictures are of a dog that has battled back to find a home of great love. Thank you Susan for capturing him at his best. Thank you Terry for opening your home to him.
Shaq was rescued in October of 2005. Arizona Animal Assistance received a call about a family moving and down-sizing from their home on a lot of property to a home in a subdivision. They had multiple Mastiffs living on the current property and wanted to “down size” before moving. Upon arriving at the home, there were…

Shaq looks amazing. Love the photo of his laying down with his head on the ground. We have always loved the Shaqers and had a great respect for him from the get go.

You captured Shaq beautifully, thank you again for all you are doing for rescue dogs and the specific time you have put into capturing some of our giants!
Chance was one of four puppies rescued in January, 2008, as part of a puppy mill rescue effort. He and his siblings were bred in a Missouri puppy mill and put up for sale at an animal auction. When they did not sell, they were rescued by an organization that picks up animals that are…

What a beautiful dog Chance had the opportunity to become, all because of a Rescue. Arizona Animal Assistance has provided this kind of help and care for hundreds of dogs who need TLC. Beautiful dog and great work by AZAnimalAssistance!!!!!
We love our Chance so much. He was a stress case but did wonderfully. What an amazing addition to our family he has made. Thank you all for letting Chance shine
Chancey! What a handsome pup, he has blossomed from a shy skin and bones bloated sickly puppy into a beautiful big man. What a survivor he is!
Gunner came into the Mesquite Newfoundland Club Rescue with his brother Houston. Unfortunately for Gunner and Houston, and others like them, the story is often the same. Giant breed dogs are often the first to go when family dynamics change or money becomes tight. Giant breed dogs have giant vet bills and food bills, and too often individuals…

Drool, fur, it all goes with the wonderful package of humor, loyalty, and love these giants give us.
I, being told that the drool could be used as a deterent to scar reduction from injuries. A few weeks ago I was injured and applied my Newf’s drool to the injury and now 3 weeks later I have no scar. Wow “Drool does help”. and Gunner is would be a Great “scar deterent”! He looks Great!!
If you love newfies…the drool just comes with the package. Actually the drools makes me laugh!!!
Thanks Susan, Gunny boy looks great, you truly captured all of his magnificent newfness!

Christine - congratulations, Gigi!!! what wonderful news!
admin - Thanks for your your warm wishes on the lens recovery Danielle & Scott. I just got great news from Tempe Camera that they were able to bend the filter ring on the lens back into shape and get the broken filter off. The lens got by with only some minor scratches on the body. The glass is in good shape. Whewwwww! I got lucky.
J Scott - Ouch! A least you didn’t drop the baby. Congratulations on the grandson I just took some photos of my 10 month old grandson a couple weeks ago. I don’t have them online yet. My understanding is that the front element is the least expensive to fix… hope that’s true.
Danielle Daigle - Congratulations on your grandson!! He’s so gorgeous!
The photos came out beautifully. You did an awesome job!!
Now… I almost cried when I saw that amazing lens cracked. Oh… so horrible!! I’ll say camera prayers for it. I’m sure tempe camera will fix it right up.
Thanks for the shout out too!! I’m so happy for you… your grand-baby is super cute!
