After Remington passed away, I told myself I wasn’t going to get another schnauzer. I grieved his loss and eventually had to push those emotions aside and be strong.

I only meet each pet briefly, but they become extremely special to me for a lifetime.  Over the years, I have been sent many emergency requests to photograph terminally ill or aging senior pets.  I will drop anything and […]

Happy 15th birthday to my first “baby” Remington! Every year I find myself more nervous than the last that he will make it to his next birthday. He’s already lived a wonderful long life but he struggles with chronic bronchitis flares, has a slight heart murmur and a very large lipoma on his chest. He’s […]
