We recently had family pictures taken with my husband Sherman and our dog and cat. Our normally friendly and accommodating cat Aislinn had spent the day at the vet and was not amused to discover that she was going to be required to pose for photos once we got home. She thrashed and squirmed, yelled and hissed. Our photographer Craig Vollmer (of Craig Vollmer Photography) was amazingly patient and managed to get some of my favorite pictures I have ever had of our pets. The best ones are listed below where she obviously shows us that she is in charge! For the good pictures take a look at our Facebook page.  Obviously she is in charge here!  Grumpy face!  She is not going to cooperate if she has anything to say about it! Add Comment I spend a lot of time walking dogs and see many other owner out walking their dogs. So often the owners are talking on their cell phones or otherwise not paying attention. I admit I can be guilty of the same thing when I am walking my dog but a couple of weeks ago I was reminded of how much we can learn from the dogs just by paying attention! I was walking a client's dog, a rescue she had recently adopted. As we were walking, a motorcycle came racing around the corner and I was surprised to see how excited the dog was! She was dancing at the end of her leash, her ears were up and she tried to follow the bike as it went past. We went on, me not thinking much of it, but I mentioned it to the owner in my note. Later I found out that the dog's name had been Harley when she adopted her! From that quick moment I was able to learn so much about her previous life, especially since she was excited to see the motorcycle rather than upset! It reminded me value the time I am walking my own dog as the special bonding time that it is. | Liana - owner of
