is tonight!!
I added it to my list of "Furrie Events" on the Furrie Fotographie website awhile back but if you didn't see it, here's a bit of information!
ARTunleashed is an annual fundraiser now in its fourth year! It benefits First Coast No More Homeless Pets (FCNMHP). The mission of FCNMHP is to eliminate the killing of dogs and cats in our community through free and low-cost spay and neuter programs. As more surgeries occur, the shelter and euthanasia rates decrease.
So tonight from 7-10pm, join animal lovers (and ME!) for Jacksonville's most fabulous juried art show and silent auction. A night of fun featuring fine art by local and regional artists, a unique animal inspired silent auction, fabulous food, cocktails, and live music! You can even place a bid on a gift certificate for a photo session and a free 8x10 courtesy of Furrie Fotographie!
ps. Event to be held at Bella Sera of Catering by Liz

Helping Hand
One of my friends sent me THIS link today. Apparently the Safe Animal Shelter in Middleburg (a no-kill facility!) is running out of food for their animals. According to the article, they are down to a two-week supply. I went to their website and saw that they prefer Purina Brand Dry Food, Dog Chow, Puppy Chow, Cat Chow & Kitten Chow. If anyone is interested in getting a few bags of food together, I'd be happy to make the drive and take it in. Just let me know!

Ruger's Sneak Peek!
Before our session, Ruger told me that his pawrents call him Pretty Boy and I can totally see why! He is so handsome! It was hard to pick just a few shots for his sneak peek...
I brought Ruger a red tennis ball to play with rather than my usual orange bad cuz and that turned out to be well received. He loves to run and play!
This is a "Throw that ball!" face...
"What?!? I see that ball... I'll even point it out for you! Come on... throw it!"
We wore him out... but just for a minute. I think he looks like a puppy in the shot on the left! And I love his dirty tongue on the right!
The community where Ruger lives has a dog park! If we hadn't just bought a house, I'd want to live there! We walked over to play there for a bit and Ruger, smartie pants that he is, can actually open the gate all by himself! How cool!
Here we see Ruger "spinning" for the ball... or maybe it was a rock. He likes rocks too and there are lots in the park! : )
The worst part about summer shoots, especially with active dogs, is that it is sooooo hot! Thank goodness there was a way to attempt to cool Ruger off. He looks so funny getting all splashed!
Ruger's mom even let him jump in the pond for a minute. Although then he had to endure a bath later...
After the bath though, it was treat time! I wish my dogs were so patient...
See the goober treat? On Ruger's paw?!?!?
Apple would have bit my hand off for the peanut butter treat if I was waving it around in the air. Ruger makes some hilarious faces and waves his paw around and even rolls over... but waits until he is told it's okay!
And now I leave you with a couple close shots of this sweet boy's beautiful face!

Yuki's Sneak Peek
Yuki's family brought her home when she was only five weeks old and hand fed her special milk. It is now 13 years later and I think she still has a puppy face!
Her name means courageous and she most certainly is... she is still sporting a shaved leg, which makes her look a little like she is wearing an Ugg boot, from a recent surgery to have her infected uterus removed. She's still quite active though and so obviously loves her "pawrents".
A Day in the Life of Yuki:
Take family for a walk in the park.
Stop and sniff all the pretty flowers and plants along the way.
"Run"! Sorta...
Enjoy the view.
Mmmm... a new favorite treat, Arby's roast beef sandwich!
Walk the maze... an empty fountain.
WATER! So hot outside!
Thank mom and dad for being such great pawrents!

Un-Furrie
I wanted to show a few shots of this plant in my backyard to see if anyone happens to know what it is. It was just barely alive when we moved in and I think Chris might have mowed over it at first too but now it has been thriving! It especially loves all the rain we've been getting... even if I don't!

Wonky Apple
You'd be all wonky too if you had one of these:
It's a "splint" on her little back leg... when I let all three monsters out after work yesterday, Apple was her usual crazy self running all over the yard like a mad woman! But when we came back in and I sat down to watch some tv I noticed she was laying next to the couch funny. So I called her over to me and saw she was favoring that leg, not wanting to put it on the floor. I picked her up and she was twitching so I called my husband (who was at work) in a bit of a panic since one of my neighbors once told me his dog was bit by a water moccasin and I was afraid something like that had happened!
Fortunately we have an awesome vet... go San Jose Beauclerc Animal Hospital!... who was nice enough to stay and see Apple. They close at 6 and I got there at 6:05 but they knew I was coming.
They think poor Apple tore some ligaments. So they shaved her leg and wrapped it up tight in the green bandage you see there. And she's supposed to relax... no running and playing. Yeah... today she's already barking out the back door at the birds and jumping up on the bed...
But she goes back in a week to be checked and they said it could take 3-6 weeks to heal. Keep your fingers crossed that it heals properly or they will have to refer us to a surgeon!

Thinking of Splash
A request from Splash and Freckle's mom:
Keep Splash in your prayers. He has Lymphoma and with the breed he is, chemo is not an option. Splash will be 7 on Halloween. Freckles will be 4 on July 8th. Splash and Freckles are blood related, cousins. At my house, they are "brothers". I can say, "Freckles where is brother Splash?" and he will go look for him :) Luv them so....
My heart goes out to Splash's "paw-rents" and his brother Freckles. I will definitely keep your beautiful boy in my prayers. I only met him the one afternoon but he was so sweet and happy. I don't know what the options are for you but I will keep hope!
