Greetings From The Poorhouse

I sure love my job!

I did a shoot last night for Andrew from [URL="http://www.cbs.com/primetime/greatest_american_dog/"]Greatest American Dog[/URL] along with his two brothers Geoffery and Leo.  Geoffery is the tiniest little dog I think I’ve ever seen.  I mean he looks small compared to a tea-cup chihuahua!

He’s got a really big personality though:

I’ll have to ask for your patience as I try to rebuild things back to the way they were.

An Osprey waits for it's next meal.

I’ve been reading Moose Peterson’s Blog, where he has been posting updates from the ongoing Wildlife Photographer’s Base Camp. Boy does that bring back the memories.

I was on this trip at about the same time last year (they are a little earlier this time around) and let me tell you, the folks out there right now have no idea how lucky they are. They may think they do, but it really won’t sink in until later. I did a review of the trip on my old blog, which I’ll include below the jump for those who haven’t seen it yet.

The folks out there right now are probably tired, muddy and frazzled, but they are smack in the middle of an opportunity of a lifetime. Moose provides so much knowledge on one of these trips that it really takes weeks to sink in and I had many many “ah ha moments” for a long time following the trip.

Check out the old review:

I covered the APDT Rally Obedience Trials held at Pupniron in Fredericksburg, VA over the weekend.

It was two days of fun, fur and photos.  Everyone was great and I got lots of pup-love.

The picture is of Rocky who had a fantastic weekend including a perfect score and a host of other accomplishments.

He’s a sweet little Corgi, but it was hard for me since we lost our own Sam the Corgi not so long ago.

Announcing the Artisan Series of prints from the Gallery of Jim Poor

I’ll be new wildlife and nature prints to my Fine Art Gallery. Themes will vary from humorous (like this one) to moody.

Artisan series prints are available in three sizes: 16×20, 20×24 and 24×30.
All Artisan series prints are mounted on Gator Board with a depth of either 3/16″ or 1/2″.
Three border colors – Black, Ivory and Gray – are available.
Artisan Series prints are digitally signed by default, but hand-signed prints are an option.

I donate 10% of each Artisan Series purchase to animal rescue.
Go to the Gallery in order to purchase this print and others that will be coming soon.

Meet Ramesses:

He is a Phraraoh Hound lucky enough to be owned by Laurie Williams, the star of the CBS TV show Greatest American Dog and owner of Pupniron Canine Fitness and Learning Center.

Greetings from the Poorhouse, it has been a rough night.

After dealing with the progressive paralysis of Degenerative Myelopathy (DM) for nearly three years, Sam left us last night.
