Big Momma turns four today. She’s all grown up!
Since it’s her birthday and 110 degrees outside, I only made her pose for a quick second. And she was well-compensated with a variety of birthday goodies from Lucky Dog Barkery and Avenue Barket.
Nancy and Joe are a couple of crazy teen cats (well, five or six month old). The twins were recently rescued from the city shelter and are now living the good life with lots of other kitty — and one ridiculously sweet doggie – friends. The youngsters in the house, Nancy and Joe are curious, bold and absolutely hilarious.
And I may have squealed a little when I saw them. Well, more specifically, their paws. Their kitten mittens. They’re enormous – it makes them look like they have boxing gloves on. Seriously, they’re AWESOME.
I’m a big fan of high contrast black and white shots – not all my clients lend themselves naturally to such shots (nor do my own creatures), so when they do, I like to take advantage. And I happen to think Nancy and Joe look fab in b&w.
love every one of these!! the toes are the best!! great job!!
My dear god. These are fantastic. I. Want. Those. Cats.

Hemingway, the crazy goldendoodle, is about a year and a half old and is a big, floppy, happy puffball of energy. He has probably the best recall of any dog I’ve seen – seriously, he’d stop on a dime when called. But that doesn’t completely thwart his daredevil side. He lulled us into a false sense of security, posing nicely by the stone bridge before – in the blink of an eye – he jumped over. We’re guessing he didn’t mean to go over – it was about a 10-12 foot drop – and, thank god, he didn’t hurt himself (he wasn’t even sore the next day). Hemingway’s parents say that rather than displaying the genius side of Hemingway, he’s more prone to acting like the man’s drunken side.
Hemingway also has an interesting penchant for being in bushes – not near them, not in front of them. In them. And his soft, curly, bury-your-nose-in goldendoodle fur is like velcro so Mr. Hemingway spent most of our session with leaves and branches and dried grass stuck to him. As mom to a newf who carries in most of the backyard with her everyday, I totally empathize.

he is too cute, your pictures captured his zest for life!
What a magnificent location! He seems like endless fun… the picture of him emerging from the bushes is priceless 🙂 Again, beatiful work Deb! 🙂
lol, oh, and do you ’empathize’,or ’emphasize’? just thought i’d check 🙂 lol
Thanks, Briana – fixed. Spellcheck isn’t much help when you spell the wrong word correctly! But I should emphasize that I empathize!
I know, I’m so behind on blogging! I have a ton of stuff to post and I promise to soon. But for now, just a peek at some kitten mittens…
ohgod. that’s the best thing i’ve seen all day!
Doodles make me happy.
Cool, I think I’ve seen this pup at Unleashed before. Great pic.
