Steve and Mana are huge dog lovers and the love they have for their rescued fur babies, Hope (Pit Bull) and Kekoa (Shepard mix), really came through in their photos.  Steve won a photo session from the Suds on Sunday event benefiting Mayday Pit Bull Rescue and it was such a joy working with Steve and his family.  Hope and Kekoa were awesome models and it was so fun to record their personalities. Hope is high energy and loves playing catch, but more than anything loves her brother Kekoa.  Hope and Kekoa have a great relationship and they were so cute together. Kekoa is a total sweetheart and not to mention a great acrobat! He loves walking on the wall at the park.  Thanks Steve and Mana for supporting Mayday.  I had a great time with you and your furry family and hope you enjoy the photos!

Bring them out to the Suds on Sunday event next Sunday 2/28/10 from 12-5pm at the Royal Poochie Salon! This is going to be one big fun event with food, music, vendors, raffle prizes, pro skateboard demonstrations and more! Don’t have a dirty dog yet? No problem! There will also be adoptable dogs looking for a bath and a loving home!

This event benefits the Mayday Pit Bull Rescue Group and all monies raised will go directly towards necessary surgeries for a couple of their rescued dogs.  Mayday Pit Bull Rescue & Advocacy and its volunteers were recently awarded the ‘Hero Central’ Award by 12 News Phoenix. The award recognized Mayday for its ongoing efforts to save, rehabilitate, and place pit bulls in loving homes.  This is a great group doing great things for Pit Bulls, the most misunderstood and abused breed.

I’ll be donating a $250 Photo Session for the raffle so come on out and bid! Not only will you get a fun photo session capturing memories of your furry family, the money will go towards saving furry friends in need!!

No post is complete without a photo- so here is an old photo of one of my all-time favorite Pit Bulls – Roxie! She is one of the sweetest dogs I have ever met. She had a rough start in life but is now living with loving, responsible parents and she is just the sweetest happy-go-lucky girl.

I hope everyone is sharing their love today, whether it’s with your spouse, lover, friend, family member, someone in need or even a furry friend. Happy Valentine’s Day!

At the close of another year, we gratefully paws to wish you a warm and happy holiday season.  Whatever is beautiful. Whatever is meaningful. Whatever brings you happiness. May it be yours this holiday season and throughout the coming year.

Yikes, so behind in my posting! Meet Missy and Buddy. Missy was a ball of attitude and cuter than a button with her little tongue always sticking out.  She was very protective over her ‘turf’.  Buddy was shy and sweet.
