Romeo and Juliet

nick — Wed, 05 May 2010 15:53:18 +0000

Not quite the love affair you would have predicted here. This party was for Romeo celebrating his second human year of life and for Juliet’s homecoming! While Romeo took an instant liking to the very young Juliet, she was not the shy demure kind and I think he learned that she was not to be taken advantage of

On the left we have romeo.. and on the right… Juliet!

I so love this sign.

Given its a dog party theres bound to be lots of sniffing and greeting.

While there was no music some guests still danced..

And the food smelled AWESOME.. quite so to this fella

And a few quick portraits..

Juliet getting TLC from her mom

And we end with her beautiful profile

Of Puppy Mills part 2

Looking at pictures or videos of the horrors that is a puppy mill does not prepare you when you actually meet the victims in the fur. It certainly is saddening to see what people will do just to turn a profit. I went down one weekday afternoon originally intending to document the morning’s procedures but as they were short of people I decided to help with the dirty work first.

*edit thanks to Bear Bear for the shout out. See his post over here*

These are just a few pictures of what I documented. For full captions view the set over at my facebook account

You can see the gratitude..

Such sad souful eyes..

Toby: Impromptu

nick — Mon, 26 Apr 2010 00:14:59 +0000

While running some quick errands I met five year old Toby with his mom. It was quite easy to see that he was very attached to her with his gaze almost always looking to her direction.

I think one of his best sides is his profile, a very handsome fella

Hope this helps to chase away your Monday blues somewhat

Caturday: Ginger boy

nick — Sat, 24 Apr 2010 15:55:39 +0000

Last weekend I went down to Mutts N Mittens and met this wonderfully manja ginger cat. He seems like the kind that would like to disturb you for a belly rub while you were reading a book or sit on your keyboard The best part is that he has already gone to his forever home! Here are some pics taken while I was there to photograph Fergie

He had this thing for my R-Strap as well

And I hope his new parents get him a good scratching post…

Fergie @ MnM

nick — Sun, 18 Apr 2010 14:43:48 +0000

I managed to squeeze some time this weekend to head down to MuttsNMittens. There I got to know about Fergie. Fergie initially arrived with a dry flaky coat covered in scabs and as you can probably tell, not very happy. Under the care of the shelter staff, she has recovered well. They warned me she was a strong girl, and strong she was indeed. Her headbutts are not for the faint-hearted. She is extremely people affectionate but will need a firm and strong hand for obedience. Alas when I wanted to bring her out for a run, the heavens opened up and I had to shoot her in her kennel enclosure (which is quite big with an outdoor run area). I so want to go back next week to see if I can get some outdoor shots of this lovely girl!

Front view… back view..

Like a lady, she always crosses her legs when she sits.

As always, my favourite shot is last.

If you think you can give this girl a home, call Mutts n Mittens at +65 6583 7371 / 6583 7372. Do note that she may not get along well with other dogs.

Aries Phoenix and Yogi

*pant pant pant* … if you guessed that as the sound of the 3 super excited border collie pups you’d be WRONG. That’s me dead tired after the shoot! I had the chance to meet them before when they were much smaller and my have they grown in such a short time. This time though we went out to hort park where there was alot more space for them to stretch those growing legs. Those 3 BC pups don’t ever seem to run out of steam EVER and I had a tough time keeping up with them (as did their moms )

I’d like to give a shoutout to their moms for being good sports as it started to rain half way though the shoot. So 3 dogs and 3 people proceeded to crop into a 5mx5m shelter where I tried to get a few more shots of them while they were waiting the rain out

With 3 active dogs you can correctly assume this took quite a few tries and lots of treats. Left to right: Phoenix, Aries and Yogi

Border collies just LOVE to run…

Being siblings they also loved to run with each other!

And of course being siblings they will also irritate the heck out of each other Here we have Aries getting annoyed with Phoenix

And Yogi about to stick her nose in an argument at high speed

Here we can see yogi developing that classic collie stare..

Yogi and Aries having fun with a stuffed squrriel

And to end it a few choice portraits of the three

KL trip – Xiao Bai

nick — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 15:08:35 +0000

I took a short trip up to KL recently with the gf for an eating extravaganza Of course I couldn’t neglect my camera and actively looked for some furry subjects (food is nicer to eat than photograph IMO)

I met Xiao bai who was this wonderfully energetic mongrel

Then there was this lonely mongrel in a car.. (don’t worry weather was cool and overcast..)

And for something non-furry… This was the sunset just before i boarded the plane home..

And one more shot out of the plane window.

Will try to be back with your regular blog posts soon!

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

My personal fav

Mnm: Kingsley

nick — Sun, 28 Feb 2010 03:18:43 +0000

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!
