Florida Pet Photographer – Photohound Dog Photography

Brutus is such a wonderful dog.  His personality makes me chuckle because he’s just so mature and serious.  He’s perfectly willing to go along with any plan you have (especially if it involves snacks) but he never complains or gets antsy or brings drama along.  He’s super attentive but in the most reserved and patient way.  If he were a human I’d say he wouldn’t mind living alone in an apartment in the city, reading the paper every morning, enjoying the simple things in life.  He wouldn’t be much of a gossip magazine reader or TMZ watcher because there’s no place for theatrics or conflict in his life.  He’s particular but easy to get along with and you feel comfortable and accepted when you’re in his presence.  I’ve known Brutus and his family of five other dogs for a couple years now and I always enjoy photographing them.  This time, Brutus got a Shortie session all to himself.  It was simply delightful.

I have to make a dedication on Brutus’ post, here, to dear Griffin.  Griffin was an amazingly hopeful foster puppy for whom this Shortie session was scheduled for.  Griffin had some medical concerns, including his back legs that needed some carting around on occasion.  His spirit and the incredible care from his foster parents were providing everything he could ever want in an effort to mend him all up.  However, a week before this session Griffin had to cross over Rainbow Bridge.  It was unexpected but I know Griffin met a lot of people during his time here (his fosters are really good about that) and that little light in his soul brightened everyone’s face that he came across.  I know because I did get the opportunity to meet him a few months ago, when he first came into the family, and I walked away sun-kissed.    Here’s to you, Griffin….and Shari & Diane for being two of the most incredible foster parents and animal lovers one could ever hope to know.
