Kalamazoo Family Expo

February 27, 2010 – 4:12 pm

If you’re feeling snowbound and need a fun activity for the kids this weekend, come to the Kalamazoo Family Expo at the Radisson downtown from 12-5 on Sunday. There will be a children’s art area, a Bounceland, a magician, and lots of other fun things to see and do. I’ll have a booth there- stop by and say hello!

Also,  there are just a few days left of the winter maternity special. If you schedule a newborn session for any time this year in the next few days, you receive a complimentary pregnancy session. Spread the word- the response to this has been great, and I’d love to meet even more expectant moms!

Bebe

February 22, 2010 – 10:32 am

Havanese terriers are known for their affectionate, playful temperament, and Bebe is a perfect example. Her energy and enthusiasm made her so much fun to work with. She’s being raised to be a service dog (probably a hearing dog for someone who’s deaf), and it already looks like she’ll be a great companion for someone!

Special

February 11, 2010 – 3:23 pm

I look forward to seeing all ‘my’ babies grow, but S. is special, and I know he’s special to many people. He was born with some health challenges and has had several major surgeries already, and more surgery to come. I know he’s had lots of people praying for him, and it was a joy to see how well he’s doing. Smiley, happy, and, well- chunky! I think the shirt says it all:

Troopers

February 10, 2010 – 2:35 pm

It was cold, breezy and snowy, but these kids had such great attitudes. They’re recent transplants from the UK, but put up with the  Michigan weather without complaint. Amazing!

Calm

February 5, 2010 – 11:15 am

Mr. H. was so good to me- calm for the most part when he was awake, and o-u-t when he was asleep!

Farewell

February 1, 2010 – 6:47 pm
It was a bittersweet day today as we said goodbye to Filly. It’s time for her to go in for her formal training to be a PAWS service dog. I know she’s ready, but we never are. We’ll miss her boundless optimism and enthusiasm. She never had a bad day, and never met a person she didn’t like. Don’t let the serious looks here fool you- she knew how to get the maximum enjoyment out of every situation, and was  eager for the next adventure. She was always willing to try whatever we asked (although it was often done with her trademark touch of zaniness!). And when things weren’t going so well for someone, she knew just when to come over and quietly snuggle in to offer comfort.

But this isn’t about us- it’s about someone who needs her and is waiting for her. So while we don’t know exactly where life will take her, we do know she’ll be a great companion for someone who needs her, and that makes it all worthwhile. She’s doing what she was born to do.

We’ll miss you, sweet girl, and we can’t wait to see what the future holds for you- we know you’ll make us proud.

They run in the family-

the beautiful deep dark eyes, that is- and look at the eyelashes, too! Add the vibrant personalities of these two, and it made for a fun session with a variety of moods!
