I’d like to introduce you to Smokey, a rottweiler-beagle mix who was just recently adopted from North Shore Animal League. Here he is at 12 weeks old and 23 lbs.
After about 45 minutes of modeling for me, Smokey was so exhausted he decided to take a nap. What’s cuter than a sleeping puppy? A curious puppy of course! Although I think Joe, his daddy, might beg to differ. This is a list of the curiosity casualties from his Facebook status on Friday: “So far 2 boxes of tissues, 2 phone books, a dog book, and 8 rolls of paper towels.”

Meet Harley, a 7-year-old Rottweiler-Lab mix, and her two Pitbull buddies Dakota and Rocky.
Sadly, Harley was recently diagnosed with cancer and still has several weeks of treatment to go through. It’s amazing to me how well dogs handle sickness; Harley seems perfectly happy and healthy. Yes, that’s Harley charging towards her ball… at top speed… despite all that ice under her!
The vet says it’s possible that she could make it through another year. I don’t believe it, I have high hopes that she’ll reach the ripe old age of 14, just like her friend Rocky.

I met Christie and her Bichon, Charlie, at a nice park in Pawling. Charlie is hesitant with strangers, but since Christie brought me some ice cream to give to him, it wasn’t long before he became my newest buddy.
I had a ton of fun with this dog! I love when people dress up their dogs. Hope you enjoy the preview Christie.

Dexter is a 7-year-old German Short Haired Pointer and Great Dane mix. You’d never know he is middle-aged if you met him; he has the energy of a 2-year-old puppy!
When I first met Dexter we played fetch in the Peekskill Dog Park. I couldn’t get over how much he loved the game, and how he literally threw the ball back at me with a toss of his head.
Maybe one day I can take pictures of Dexter with his girlfriend (yes folks, this handsome fella is taken — by a Pitbull who lives close by). Thanks Allison, I hope you enjoy your preview.

I just visited the nicest dog park I’ve ever seen. Any dog owners who live in the Poughkeepsie area have to check out Overlook Park. The dog park is a big grassy area surrounded by a pond. It’s fenced in, but most of the fence blends into the bushes behind it, so it doesn’t have that cage-like quality present at most of the other parks I’ve been to.
This is where Mimi suggested I take pictures of her dog Maximus. He’s a two-year-old German Shepherd with a lot of spirit. Here’s a little preview of Max’s photos:

I met Phillip and Catherine at the Sprout Brook Dog Park in Cortlandt Manor to photograph their two dogs. They are two of the nicest people I’ve ever met.
Natasha is a Caucasian Mountain Dog and, believe it or not, she is only 10 months old. Catherine and Phillip rescued Cuba a couple of months ago, and they think he’s around two or three years old. Natasha is a big, fluffy, mush, and Cuba is a sweetie, but he definitely has a mind of his own.
Here are a couple of shots from the day. Catherine & Phillip: I’ll be mailing your CD within a week, hope you enjoy this sneak peek.
