Pugs In the Park 2009

Pugs, Pugs, Pugs EVERYWHERE! I met fawn pugs, black pugs, apricot pugs, puggles, cross-breeds, sideways breeds and even a Grand Pyrenees showed up! I enjoyed every pug tail twist and extra L-O-N-G pink pug tongue! I took so many pictures today that I could not possibly fit them on my blog so I picked my FAV 7 and then made an online gallery for all of the pictures. IF YOU DO NOT SEE YOUR PUG ON THIS POST THEN CHECK OUT THIS LINK: http://jaimerowephotography.smugmug.com/Clients/Pugs-In-The-Park-2009/9778145_ns7pF/1/663066641_qi2C9

The winner of the Pug Costume Contest was the Mexican Pug Sombrero duo. Unfortunately, I did not get over to the winner's circle fast enough to see the 2nd Place Winner - A Baked Potato (I guess you had to SEE it!) and 3rd Place - the Darth Vader pug.














Thank you everyone that stopped by the booth! It was a pleasure meeting you and your furry family member. ;-)

Peek-A-Woof Pica

Playful, Beautiful and a Foot-Licker?

I spent a lovely afternoon with Anne, Matt and their new baby Evan in their Denver backyard last week. Pica, their 50% Samoyed and a little mix of Husky + Malamute, was *Center Stage* for her photo shot. She eyes were shining a brilliant blue and a warm chocolate brown for the camera. It just doesn’t get better than stunning odd-eyed dogs! LOVE THEM!




There was lots of laughing and a few bouts of crying (but that was from baby Evan!).



Look at that beautiful "white puff-ball" tail. LOVE IT!





Matt got out some toys and Pica was ready to jump and play ~



Look at those gorgeous eyes!



I feel like Pica is laughing in this photo ~



So this is what I was talking about....Anne mentioned that Pica *licks* everyone's feet every night...I definitely had to photograph this but I also kept my shoes on too ;-)



Love between the ladies in Matt's life (all smiles)!



Anne & Matt - there are SOOOO MANY more to come! I hope you liked your "Peek-A-Woof"!

Peek-A-Woof Mulder + Coney

Jaime Rowe Photography Trouble, Trouble and More Trouble…These two Trouble-Makers did nothing but bite, wrestle, bark and well….*Be Puppies* during their photo shoot. These two puppies (5 months old) happen to be very important dogs. They are part of the Operation Freedom ...program for the Freedom Service Dog Program (http://www.freedomservicedogs.org). The program is designed to help returning military personnel and war veterans through their transition from active duty and combat to civilian life.



This was most of the shoot - either Coney was sitting quietly (like right now) or Mulder was looking at the camera. They were very naughty boys!



Coney had this crazy tongue that kept slipping over the side. Apparently he was taking a little break in-between attacking his brother, Mulder.



I love these shoes! Look at the pup's position of his right foot. LOVE IT!



I needed a little *bum* action - look at the little swirls around their bums! Like little frosting swirls on a cake ~



Mulder and Coney, are both labradoodles from a litter of 14! Their very generous “foster” parents are Sarah and Brian. Sarah mentioned that, “[They are] very intelligent - they enjoy rough-housing, long naps, and eating elk poop...” Who doesn’t like those hobbies?
Very Naughty, Naughty Boys!

Cat Care Society 21st Annual Fundraiser

What a success! The Cat Care Society raised over $28,000 at their Annual Cat Care Society Fundraiser last Sat. night! I was honored to be part of the festivities and took pictures for this sweet and kind group of kitty lovers. I also had an opportunity to "test run" my husband has an assistant (and it was so awesome!). The hamster is definitely running on its wheel with this information....




I love finding people in the crowd who are having a ball ~ their laughter and smiles are so genuine...



I love this guy! He was the LIVE Auction announcer and he is one of the reasons they raised so much money. He was so sweet to me and really "raised the roof" when they auctioned off my 2010 Calendar Cover. They expected it to go for $1000 but he got it up to $1500 and everyone was clapping as the price went higher...super adrenaline rush. Thanks Mr. Auctioneer Man ~



Dinner was top-notch! They had the most amazing turkey and pasta mixes made "per request" ~ I shoveled them in during a photo break (happy gulping). The Cat Care Society knows how to do it right!



Enjoy the pictures! A BIG "M-E-O-W" to all Kitty Lovers out there!

Doc's 10th Birthday

Doc turns 10! My sweet ol' girl Doc has finally put a decade behind her (sigh). Doc started her life with us in Colorado, moved to Illinois, back to Colorado, tolerated two toddlers pulling her tail, been pushed around by two crazy cats, traveled on countless hikes and road trips (with full tongue extension and wind blowing in her ears!). Doc has been there to lick our tears and is always there to give us “the look” (head cocked to the side with ears propped up) just at the right time. She is the “rock” in the family – Happy Birthday Doc!



We stopped by Three Dog Bakery (www.threedogbakery.com) in Greenwood Village and picked up 2 tasty treats - "doggie" carrot cake and PB ice cream! Doc gave them two paws up!



Yippeee! A Surprise (I LOVE surprises!) What did we pick out for you Doc?



While the suspense builds...here are a few pictures of Henry and Alex. I think they were partaking in some cupcake action too (tip-off - cupcake circle around Henry's mouth)! Alex is SUCH a ham....





Oh my! What could this be? A Beau-ti-ful collar designed by Fetching Fashions! (www.fetchingfashionsonline.com) I love their collars! And they are hand-sewn locally too (double plus!). Doc looks so "fetching" in her new Neopolitan Dot collar! What a special doggie birthday!

Nakita & the Cookie!

Nakita and the Cookie! Do you like cookies? (If you answered No, then stop reading this and immediately head to the closest bakery and indulge in a Creamy, Chewy, Melt-In-Your-Mouth chocolate chip delight). Okay I am definitely hungry today! On the day I bought squeaky toys for my dog shoots, I went to the pet store on an empty stomach (BTW – this is never a good idea). I am a sugar addict and this was a bad choice on my part. Anyway – I was picking out a squeaky toy for my barking clients and I saw this double cream cookie sandwich (salivation starts HERE) and it happened to be a squeaky toy too! Of course, I bought it immediately! I usually don’t show toys in my pictures but after I reviewed Nakita’s shoots – I had to include them!



Peek-A-Boo Nakita!



Nakita is a 13 year old husky. Her proud owners walk her every day (except holidays according to Steve, her “person”). She is in incredible shape for her age (No cookie snacks for this beauty!). BTW – Aren’t her eyes AMAZING?!?!?






I cannot blog unless an ear is present in the pics!(Yes - this is a personal indulgence issue!)



Yummy! I think Nakita wanted to eat the cookie after this shot!
