Do you just want to die or what? How awesome is Gladys?! A Redbone Coonhound with a very independent personality, she makes me laugh every time she does anything. I met Gladys several years ago and I fell in love, partially due to the fact that she reminds me EXACTLY of “Bruno” from The Triplets of Belleville, which is on my top ten favorite movies list. If you haven’t seen that, by the way, stop what you’re doing and rent it immediately.
Gladys is the proprietor of Casey’s on Central, as well as Cleo’s Lounge. Her Dad, Casey, of course is employed by her to make sure everything’s running smoothly and super fun at all times. He’s also the one who makes sure Dog Fest is the killer party it is every year or else Gladys will bring down the dog hammer. 
Gladys does what she wants, when she wants and there’s no other way about it. She’s young enough to wear her doggie ear muffs when she’s having too much fun and old enough not to care. It’s hilarious. Because she absolutely LOVES to swim in the lake, we figured one more dip couldn’t hurt near the end of the session. Well…Gladys took herself on a personal pleasure cruise down the canal. Like a sturdy steamboat, chugging along, she just kept a-goin’…and a-goin’. We thought she’d make it to the next county. When she felt like coming back she did. But she made sure that we were fully aware that it wasn’t because we called her back. Ha ha!!! She also loves to play with her BFF, Sadie, whom I had the pleasure of photographing last year. They are a pretty awesome little team.
I just absolutely adore her and I’m so happy to have had the chance to hang out with her for a few hours. Our session came complete with sun, torrential rain and so much fun. Gladys didn’t mind a bit, she was perfect.

Thank you, Miss Brandy for a wonderful morning! Thank you, mother nature, for raining just AFTER our session had ended. And, thank you, Tracy & Pete for the wonderful new friend I made.
