A dog named Monkey

nick — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 13:35:44 +0000

A dog called Monkey? Yeap you hear it right. Monkey is a old rescued stray that has been with her family for about 9 years now! While she is still wary of strangers she is super manja (affectionate for all you non local readers) to her ‘mom’. I managed to take some quick snaps of her before her family had to leave.

OK maybe she does look like a monkey squatting if you look kard enough…

Still you cant deny that she is 100% dog

Not to be confused with the other famous blogging doggy at kingsleydog.com I met him while he was out in the run having a little game of fetch.

Border collies + action are just too hard to resist for a photo op.

Tried to grab some jump shots but it all ended up like

When the time came for him to get back to the kennel he just lay there out in the field waiting for the ball to be thrown again!

Running and border collies really seem to go well together. This is also my fav shot from that short session.

MuttsNMittens – Master Chow

nick — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 15:54:11 +0000

Its been quite awhile since I had the time to head down over to MuttsNMittens to help photograph some adoptable. I decided to have a session with the very furry Master Chow. He was much neglected as a breeding dog and was subsequently rescued with his mom (who has since found a new home!) He is still pretty shy around people(especially males) still which is not surprising given how much he was abused. Its amazing how much better he is now thanks to the efforts and care of the shelter staff and volunteers. When he arrived he was malnourished and had almost no fur on him, but now…

He definitely recovered well and saved from that awful breeder, live life as a dog should

Of course the trademark of a chow is thier purple tongue!

If you think you have the heart and patience to give him a forever home, do drop by MuttsNMittens to arrange for a viewing session!

Caturday: Dorian and Faye

nick — Sat, 20 Feb 2010 05:11:28 +0000

I had a chance to visit those 2 adorable kittens again and my how much they have grown since our last encounter! Still amazingly fluffy, they have gotten alot more curious and playful.. I think I will let the pictures do the talking..

Dorian is certainly a handsome chap..

And Faye is a little tigress!

They kinda play nice together…

But faye really goes at it with gusto and speed. Ended up with alot of missed shots like the following… Supercat on the right

After a few tries I finally managed to get a few decent ones.

Dorain on the other paw was a much more calulative one, choosing only to strike when he knows he can get it.

And my two favorite outtakes from the session..

*edit* at the request of Daphne… Faye’s RAWRRRR

Happy caturday!

Went over to my friends place for some Bang! and Star Munchkin madness. I’d highly recommend Bang for gatherings of 4 to 10 people. On to the point of this entry which is to show just how cute my friends kittens are heh. They were rescued and are now about 2 months of age. (click on the small ones to enalrge)

Dorian just after getting his ears cleaned

And I leave you of Dorian with his favourite mousy toy

Whiskie (and a little husky)

nick — Mon, 11 Jan 2010 15:22:35 +0000

Ahh first portrait session of 2010! I had a chance to do a portrait session for a friend whose sister had a 17 year old Pomeranian. While she was a little wobbly and looked very lost most of the time she definitely still knew how to charm (Click to enlarge small pics)

Sydney her younger companion tagged along too but she was a little miffed that all the attention was not on her… still she dod cooperate quite well..

And of coruse the bond between Whiskey and her owner was very apparent..

Enjoy the pictures and here’s to a great 2010!

Pups @ the Party

nick — Mon, 21 Dec 2009 22:00:30 +0000

I was invited along to a small pre-xmas dinner gathering with some Noah’s Ark Volunteers. Needless to say when there is a gathering of people like that there are bound to be dogs as well. It so happened that the host was fostering 5 mongrel puppies which I spent way too much time trying to photograph instead of enjoying the food

Well puppies being puppies they play alot..

Once they settled down I managed to get a few snaps at last! Here we have September.

Hubert not very happy about having to pose..

Bue he obliged in the end

Spring already has a home waiting for her!

Piccolo was kinda shy but still likes to lie next to people when given the chance.

Best for last? You decide! Here’s Latte in all his puppyness

This ones a little blurry. Apprently 1/350 sec is just not fast enough

All pooped out after that romp in the yard

Its been a crazy weekend for me and I’m looking forward to the upcoming holidays! I’ll be making one more post before the break so stay tuned Hope this post helped satisfy your puppy cravings.

Afternoon Coffee

Met up to do a quick photo shoot of my friend’s dog Coffee! This boy was ‘rescued’ out of a home that did not give him the love he needed. Needless to say now he is havnig the time of his life chewing on raw hide and being the center of attention!

Before we started the session one of his playmates dropped by to say a quick hello.

Of course some treats were involved

Hope you all had an awesome Saturday
