You might remember this face from 6 months ago, the sweet Daisy girl.

Now that it’s summer time, Daisy and I decided to have an adventure outside, and boy was she a riot!

That girl is one big ball of energy!

She loved that ball of hers, no matter how deflated it may have been :)

Hello all! I’m back from my vacation and after days upon days of relaxation and fun, I’m excited to get back to work! I’ve got some fun shoots lined up in the next couple weeks that I’ll be sharing. And speaking of sharing, I’m excited to share with you the newest addition to my family…

Jamie, my youngest sister, decided she wanted a cat as her high school graduation gift and Oscar has stolen the hearts of everyone in my family (except for Bella who’s not entirely sure what to think of this little fluffball).

I pretty much find any excuse I can to drop by my parents’ house to hang out with the little guy. I conjured up an excuse and went over there last night and to my surprise there were two kittens running around the house! Being that Oscar’s so playful and energetic, my parents thought he should have a playmate, so they ended up getting another kitten! The new guy doesn’t have a name yet so I’m pushing for “Puma”. I’ll try to find time in the next few days to get over there and snap some pics of him. Maybe I’ll take a couple of him and Oscar while I’m at it, just to overload you all with cuteness.

I love how playful cats get as soon as you give them cat nip!

I think we’ve made you wait long enough for our exciting news, so here it is:

PaddyWag was asked to participate in the first annual Go Dog, Go! Canine Festival!

Here’s a little blurb about the event:

The City of Kirkland in conjunction with Kirkland Off-leash Dog Group (K-Dog) and Washington Owners of Flying Disc Dogs (WOOFD2) is proud to announce the first annual Go Dog, Go! Canine Festival.  This event will be held in Crestwoods Park in Kirkland on July 25, 2009. Area residents and their canine companions can come out to enjoy games and contests in addition to flyball demonstrations and the Cascade Classic Canine Disc Championship. This event is free to the public and the goal of all this fun is to raise funds to maintain the city’s dog waste clean-up stations, with the ultimate goal of creating an off leash park in Kirkland.

Charity and I are really excited to be part of this event! We’ll have a booth set up at the park, so please come by and say hello! We’ll be offering some fun products and even a discount or two on our portrait packages. We’re also sponsoring a dog and owner look-a-like contest at 11:00AM, so don’t forget to bring your pup along—we’ve got 3 fabulous prizes for the winners!

I’m headed your way, and bringing with me one heck of a deal!
For one week, July 6th-11th, PaddyWag will be having a “yard sale”.

So if you or someone you know is in the Spokane area, and is interested in getting some fun pet portraits done – now is the time!

Contact me, Charity, for more info or to set up an appointment.
I can’t wait to meet you and your furry friend!

Here’s another fun mini-story from StoryPeople:


Handy Fact
why aren’t people dogs? he said & I said because we can pick up newspapers with our hands & that made sense to him.

Yes I’m behind on blogging, but I’ve got a good reason this time! I’ve been in Arizona participating in the 22nd Annual Arizona Hockey Classic.

I played on Team Beer (great name, huh? :) ) and we came in 2nd place for our division. Not too shabby for a team that’s never played together before! We were a hodgepodge mix of friends and friends-of-friends. Our players traveled from Seattle, Philly, California and even Alaska to play in the tournament. My body is aching and exhausted, but I had so much fun playing with the girls! I can’t wait until next year when we do it all again, but for now I’m going to enjoy a little bit of rest…and the massage I’ve scheduled. :)
