Florida Pet Photographer – Photohound Dog Photography

What I know of Olive is a super sweet girl who is way above all the ruckus that dogs are supposed to create.  She’s perfectly calm when you walk in.  She may or may not feel like a treat.  She minds her manners and doesn’t hop on the furniture.  She’s very dignified, reserved, responsible and I honestly don’t think she knows she’s a dog.  Seriously, I think when everyone leaves, she hosts Masterpiece Theater on an underground cable station or something.  She’s gorgeous and awesome.

Now, I’m going to go off-format here one and paste some of the information provided directly from Olive and Austin, as dictated by their Mom & Dad, because it totally merits sharing. 

OLIVE Regarding snacks:  “I like snacks but I don’t like to eat them when I’m nervous.  I often like to bring them into my den and save them for later.  I also love pineapple for some strange reason.”

OLIVE Regarding toys:  “Austin & I fight over toys all the time.  I try to gather all the toys when he’s not looking and bring them into my bedroom, even if I have no interest in playing with them…”

OLIVE on her brother:  “Austin & I are very different.  I love dogs but he prefers people, he’ll let anyone pet him- even screaming kids!  He jumps on the furniture…I’m more proper.  I sit tall and wait patiently.

Where Olive is proper and of dignified stature, Austin is the goofball extraordinaire.   They make a perfect couple. He’s silly, enjoys playing with toys whenever presented with them and could be led into a den of lions by a few treats.  I believe he did, however, intercept the wrong memo and assumed this was a boudoir session.  He slept and lounged around like you wouldn’t believe- ha ha!!  I saw him trying to keep his eyes open so he wouldn’t miss a snack but it was futile.

AUSTIN Regarding treats: “I loooooove treats! Sometimes I play sick and don’t eat my dog food but I’m always up for snacks…I like everything but fruit.  I leave the fruit for Olive.”

AUSTIN Regarding toys:  “I usually like whatever toy Olive has best.  I’m really good at taking toys away from her, except if she takes them into Mom’s room.  Sometimes when Olive has a toy, I’ll bark and run to the door to make her think someone is coming.  As soon as she leaves her toy, I run over and grab it.  She can be really gullible.”

The above are my favorite features of this awesome due.  Olive’s caramel eyes (yum!) and Austin’s multiple dew claws on each foot.  It’s so crazy- ha ha!  I told Austin his mom was a Hemingway cat and he threatened to knock my lights out.

This pair was amazing, adorable and I’m SO glad I got to work with them.  Thank you!!
