Friday Free Furtography-Preview Pet Photos

On December 3rd, The Puparazzi and the Country Pet Boutique launched their new partnership-Friday Furtography Pet Photos, by offering free pet photo mini-sessions at the Country Pet on Love Lane in Mattituck.

The community response was so positive! In two short hours we squeezed in nine mini-sessions with pooches ranging from tall to small and everywhere in between. We’re doing it again on December 17th-Free session with a web-ready image or a sheet of four wallet prints, so if you missed the first one you still have a chance for a free session.

Here is a down and dirty fresh out of the camera sample of some of our favorites:

Zeus-he doesn't like camera, but we caught him looking, didn't we?

Norwood is in training for Canine Companions for Independence. I have such a soft spot for these black labs!

Zack-the last time we saw this fellow he was knee high to a grasshopper-they grow so fast!

Mr. Darcy-yes, named after the well-known, fictional English gentleman-both of them!

Maggie-so intent once she heard the whistle. Aren't those ears wonderful?

Sunday-Mom thought he was too shaggy for a photo, but I thought he was just right. So cute!

Gigi-a mixed breed rescue who is such a love!

Wilson at Bailie Beach

Taking the dogs for a run at Bailie Beach is a bit of a ritual for us, and as Boris aged, he was unable to make the trip. But, Wilson, in his puppy prime is ready for anything, so off we went today for his first visit to our favorite dog beach. Check out some of my favorite snaps from the visit:

"Me have stick!"

Next to Hogan, Wilson looks like a "mini" lab, don't you think?

Wilson thinks he is hiding the grass. So cute!

The Coast Guard lives on! (Hogan thought he'd be safe at the shore now that Boris isn't here.)

Check out those ears!

This is deep enought thanks! Another lab who doesn't swim...

Hogan with the gray muzzle still knows how to mug for the camera, doesn't he?

Barktober Fest at Country Pet-Adopt a Shelter Dog

We’ll be working with the Country Pet  Boutique in Mattituck all weekend, having fun at the two-day open house and giving senior shelter dogs a chance to find their forever family.  Come by an visit us, but first let me make a pitch for rescuing your next dog:

What’s your favorite breed? Lab? Terrier? Mutt?  You can find them all at the shelter or a breed-specific rescue group.

In a world where millions of homeless dogs are killed every year simply because they have no family, we urge you to seriously consider rescuing your next dog from a shelter or rescue group. A homeless dog is not damaged, just unwanted, and in this economy, there are many wonderful dogs who have been surrendered simply because their families could no longer afford to keep them.

Even more tragic, many of these dogs are seniors, and after 6 or 7 years in a loving family, they are now locked in a kennel, sleeping on a concrete floor surrounded by yapping dogs and strangers.

A rescued dog seems to know how lucky it is to be in a warm comfortable home, and they will reward you will nothing but love.

A rescued senior dog will be well-trained, housebroken, and less active, so your furniture, rugs and lifestyle will not be ruled by gates and barriers required when dog-proofing your house.

The next time someone asks you what your favorite breed is, why not tell them “RESCUED!”

October-Adopt A Shelter Dog Month

Welcome to October – National Adopt-A-Shelter-Dog month! As we get back to the real world after the summer winds down and back-to-school is no longer a novelty, it’s a great time of year to think about bringing a new furry friend home. ThePuparazzi are firm believers in rescuing pets from shelter and rescue groups, and we urge our friends to seriously consider looking in the shelters first when you are ready for your next pet.

If you think that shelters only have “damaged goods” or mixed breeds, then you haven’t been to a shelter lately. In this economy, many families have had to make the heart-wrenching decision to surrender their beloved purebreds because they can’t afford to care for them, or worse, they have lost their homes and cannot take pets to their new place. These days many shelters have strong adoption programs where the animal’s history is carefully collected and screened, and even better, they have volunteers and staff who train and socialize the dogs. Often, the dogs are better behaved when they leave the shelter than when they arrived!

Over the years, we have had our share of purebreeds and rescues, and I can assure you I have been grateful for each one of them. Here are some of my favorite photos of them. Can you tell which ones we rescued? We can barely remember ourselves, but I can tell you that we love them all beyond words. And really isn’t that why you bring a pet into your family? To share the love?

Find your next pet at a shelter-visit Petfinder to find one near you.
