Some of my favorite spreads from Baxter and JoJo’s book.

First up: the back and front cover.

Yes, that’s a dress that little JoJo is wearing. Too cute for words.

That’s handsome Koa on the left. Graceful Kili on the right. Well, ok, so she wasn’t all grace in this first shot.

I always love it when the humans get involved in the shoot. They had to show me all the activities the dogs loved to do – and boy did they love them all.

Every time Kili caught the ball she would run over to me as if to say, “Look what I got!”

“Want to go in the car?” “Are you in the car?”

Synchronized head tilts courtesy of the word, “car.” We were saying it over and over and they kept tilting together. We were laughing so hard I could barely hold up the camera.

This is one of those moments I regret not having the flip to capture the movement. Grrr.

Hate that my car is in the background, but this ear silhouette opp just showed up in a split second as we were walking to another location.

Boy can catch some air!

Umm, is that a tongue or a hunk of liver in your mouth, Koa?

Thanks, Toby and Kris, for an awesome experience!

This lively bunch definitely kept me on my toes this weekend. They won a free session through the Free to Live auction a while back.

Yes, that loud snorting you hear is the feisty yet dainty pug, Chloe. It literally did not stop the entire session!

Can you say froggie costume and pink tutus? More to come later…

Here are just a few of the cuddly, snuggly dogs and cats looking for a forever home at the Edmond Animal Shelter. These photos were taken during the Rescues and Runways Fashion Show last Saturday, benefiting Paws for Life, Inc.

Stop by and give one of these friendly faces their perfect home!

A new item has been added to the Rescued Store!

Any golfers out there?

I will be participating in the Fourth Annual Free to Live Golf Tournament by way of silent auction: one free Basic Session. This event will take place at Oak Tree Golf and Country Club in Edmond and will benefit Free to Live, an animal sanctuary located in Edmond.

I feel fortunate to have a small part in this prestigious event and hope you’ll come out to golf, eat, drink and put in those bids!

Now Kyla can help you with the correct date! And, you can help out the Edmond Animal Shelter!

Introducing Kyla’s Calendar Print – only $8.99 – and all profits go DIRECTLY to Paws For Life, Inc, the volunteer organization for the Edmond Animal Shelter.  Click here to visit our store to purchase this or any of the other products from Kyla!

Some of the wonderful things that PFL volunteers do for the dogs and cats at the shelter:

Walking, socializing, playing, bathing, kisses and hugs, cleaning cages, fostering and just generally giving them a better life while they wait for their forever homes!

Now there’s a new way to help benefit the Edmond Animal Shelter: Kyla’s Cards!

Many of you know about my book, The Rescued. It’s been a great success, so I decided to expand the “shop” and offer alternatives, while still benefiting the Edmond Animal Shelter.

Kyla’s Cards come in two varieties: packs of 10 and packs of 20. And they’re so cute you won’t be able to stand it!

So logon now and purchase a pack for yourself, your neighbor, your Uncle Fred. And support this amazing cause that’s so near and dear to my heart: Paws for Life, Inc. and the Edmond Animal Shelter.

And look for more products in the future!

Finally, here is more of Rusty and Kalie. This first one makes me laugh every time I see it.

Kalie has an unusual habit of chewing on Rusty’s whiskers. And Rusty just lets her.

The look in his eyes is like, “C’mon, how long do I have to sit through this?”

Rusty is ill but you would never know it if it weren’t for the tell-tale shaved places on his legs and the tiredness after playing. He has renal failure.

Could have fooled me, he gave Kalie a run for her money.
