Meet RJ. {UPDATE: RJ found a home! Joy!!}

Affectionately named “RJ” as in “Rommel Junior” after Candy’s handsome canine (who he looks a great deal like)- this puppy arrived in a wee bit of a panic. I won’t go into details to spare you the icky reality that Jeff and I faced when we opened the back of the van, but let’s just leave it at: we had some cleaning up to do before our little model could debut.

Once all had settled, it became immdeiately clear that RJ, our Halloween subject, is a wonderful little pup who minds his manners and is very eager to learn and be loved. He is also very interested in treats and apples fallen from the tree!!
RJ is about 7 months old and is a Lab/Shepherd mix. He arrived at the Humane Society as a stray and has been a very good guest, but he’s ready to go home with the right family… Are you them???

Well, I have to admit, I am not in the habit of posting my private portrait sittings online, but this was too good NOT to share!! Below you will find a few of my favorite portraits of dear little “Winston”. Winston is only 10 months old and boy if he didn’t have the BEST costume I have seen this year! (notice not only does he have a little hat, but also a tiny toy gun and holster!!) I should note that his grandmother made this costume for him… What a lucky Pug!

Also, Winston is a very well mannered little puglet, so we were able to do some fun things in the studio. Check him out dancing, chasing his tail, playing in fall leaves, and just being ADORABLE!!! Just think, this could be YOUR pooch! Book your holiday sitting NOW before there are no more appointments available! Click here to see our smokin’ holiday deal.

Thanks to Winston’s proud parents for sharing this little guy with me– Clearly he has a future in the pup modeling industry!

Well it was a beautiful, crisp and foggy October day today, PERFECT for a doggy Halloween party of the best kind! Lots of pooches, great and small made it out for the party of the season… Despite all the construction and chaos, Rebekah pulled off quite a lovely get-together, and fun was had by all!! There were treats and bandanas, prizes and punch, pupcakes and human cake and pets from the Humane Society. Good luck to all who entered the costume contest, voting begins Monday at the Gentle Groomer’s Web site. Of course, I am partial to “Boatswain” (pronounced Bosun) the darling little Harlequin who came dressed as a fierce green dragon! (Check out those paws– he’s gonna be a GIANT!!)

Thank you to all who made it out to support the Kitsap Humane Society and the Gentle Groomer!

Good news friends! I have been asked by Candy Burt of Bark Busters to join her on her regular spot on Northwest Afternoon! The show will film on Monday the 30th and will air at 3pm, Thursday November 2nd on KOMO 4!!

On the show I will discuss (with Candy) what to know before before coming to the studio for your portrait and why a professional portrait is heads and tails above what you may be able to capture at home with your point-and-shoot camera. I will be supplying “before and after” photos from some of my past clients- to show the difference a studio, some treats, and an extra person can make.

I do hope that you will be able to catch the show- and if you want, email me and let me know what you thought: info@dane-dane.com
