Don Draper {Nashville Foster Puppy}

December 9, 2011 Mandy2

I'm sure some of you saw on Twitter or Facebook that David & I got a new foster puppy. Which means, of course, a foster puppy blog post. So, here he is - all 8 pounds of him! This little guy, four of his siblings and his mom was rescued by a wonderful couple in Berry Hill. Most of the pups have already been adopted and mom (who they think is a Border Collie/Shepard mix) is getting stronger everyday. At 10 weeks old he has already had a couple of names: Parsley (they named all the pups after herbs at first), then Victor. My husband thinks his name might be Baxter, but I'm not so sure. I kind of like Don Draper (yes, we've been watching a lot of Mad Men lately :)

No matter what his name is, this guy is super cute. He's some kind of Border Collie mix (who knows who dad is). He's doing great with our dog Rosie and our cats outweigh him by double, so he's getting along great with them too. We are working on crate and potty training and he's doing good so far.

If you'd like to meet him please let me know! Our first photo shoot was only 18 hours after we got him, so he was a bit shy - but I think his personality comes through.

And I'm pretty sure he'd fit in your Christmas stocking.

The Glenn Family {Nashville Pet Photographer}

October 4, 2011 Mandy2

I'm really excited to share these images today! This is my second session with the Glenn family and I could not believe how huge their pup, Ollie has gotten since I saw him just 11 months ago. Let's just say dogs grow really fast. We had a great time at the Ellington Agriculture Center during their shoot, Ollie got to chew on some sticks and look at some fish (which he really wanted to see more closely). Thanks Nan & Craig, it was great seeing you all again. Click on this link to see photos from their first puppy session.

Thanks for looking,

Meet Kravitz, Our New Foster Dog! {Nashville Dog Photographer}

July 14, 2011 Mandy2

I'm so excited to share some photos of our new foster dog Kravitz. As most of you probably already know we started fostering in January of this year and out first dog, Charlie, recently found a fantastic forever home. A few weeks later we saw an email about Kravitz and decided to see if he'd be a good fit for us.

Kravitz is a little different from most dogs in foster homes, he was actually with the same owner for 7 years (he and he brother Jerry were adopted by their owner at the age of two, making Kravitz 9 years old now). Unfortunately, their owner had some major health problems and had to find homes for all his pups, which is how Kravitz & Jerry ended up with East C.A.N.

Kravitz is a very healthy guy and is fully vetted. He loves to stick close by his person and spends most of his day in the office with me - in fact he's sort of watching me type this :) He's a medium to large guy, weighing in at about 65 lbs (honestly, I'm not 100% sure how much he weighs, but it's a good guess).

He is super sweet, totally ignores our two cats and gets along well with our pup Rosie. He has kind eyes and a very interesting coat of black, brown and white fur. He's also good with kids and is leash trained! We are working on crate training now and he's doing great with it.

If you are interested in meeting this guy please let me know or contact East C.A.N. Also, please share his info with anyone who might be interested.

And, of course, here are some pictures of him!

Thanks for looking,
