Shelter Summary - Week of August 10, 2015

in , , ,

I was fortunate to be able to spend more time for the shelters than normal. Monday, I picked up Tracker from LCAS and took him to the park for a couple of hours (blog post). If it would not have been so hot, I would have kept him out there much longer.

Tuesday, I did my normal weekly photos for the League City shelter. 

Wednesday, I dropped by LCAS for a couple of hours in the afternoon and took some volunteer/animal photos. 

Thursday, I met Amanda Trover at the park for Webster Animal Shelter photos.

Today, I dropped by the LCAS's Baybrook Petsmart adoption event.

Pet Photo Session - Dagger

in , ,

Date: 7/22/15 | Location: Crenshaw Park, Pasadena

It was a hot morning in July and Dagger had been having more bad days than good. I was told that this day was one of his better. Dagger is a handsome fourteen year old great dane/pitbull mix with a lot of arthritis and spinal problems. Despite his issues, he was a trooper for his photo shoot. He even attempted to chase after a duck or two. We elected to use Crenshaw Park in Pasadena as the location because it is close in proximity to where they live.

Shelter Summary - Week of August 3, 2015

in , , ,

It's been a busy week. I was able to make it to the League City Animal Shelter on Tuesday and again on Saturday. Both days were very hot, so we limited the time the dogs spent outside. They were pretty much ready to go back to their kennel after doing their business and running around for a couple of minutes. At least with the cats we are in a cool environment...even though the lighting stinks.

It's been hot outside this week. I made it to the League City Animal Shelter on Tuesday and Amanda from the Webster Animal Shelter brought one dog to Walter Hall Park for me to take photos of on Thursday.  I also met one of the Foster mom's from LCAS at the park on Sunday to take photos of the sweet pup she is fostering.

It was a normal Monday morning. I woke up, got ready and headed to a coffee shop to edit photos, work on my website and watch tutorials. I got there and set up my little work area for the long haul and checked my email. There was an email from a dear friend that lives in Galveston.

Hi, Rhonda. What a lovely surprise to see you on the front page of The Daily News, and in color! Such a nice story, it reminds me that I haven't seen you in a looooong time....

I had done an interview for the Galveston County Daily News a couple of weeks ago, but I was not sure when it was going to be published. So, on this Monday, it was a nice surprise. 

I scanned the story:

A couple of fun photos:

I want to thank everyone for the out-pouring of support and kind words about my work and the article. There were about 240 total likes and 73 total comments...I am very grateful for all of the support. 

Photos that my friends snapped (while getting donuts for the office...in the break room at work) when they noticed me on the front page:

I have been doing shelter photos since May of 2013. I went through every months worth of photos and counted how many animals I have taken photos of since the beginning. Almost 1000 animals...that's just crazy!
