Homer & Laddie – Two Gorgeous Collies

Homer and Laddie are dog buddies who live across the country from each other (Laddie lives in Utah), but they recently got to hang out together in Virginia, and I had the opportunity to meet them.  As you’ll see, they are both absolutely beautiful.  Not only that, Laddie is a pro at agility and Homer is a pro at taking care of his three humans.

Handsome Homer

Maxwell – a Very Handsome Boy

Maxwell was adopted from the Homeless Animals Rescue Team (H.A.R.T.) and found a wonderful family. We photographed him on a rare sunny day just before the storms rolled in.

He recently had surgery to remove a large mass on his side – scar or no scar, he’s a very handsome boy!

He loves running in the brush behind his house looking for varmints.  (probably the first time I’ve used that word ever)

Want to know how to make someone’s day?

thank you cards

A few times a year, I go to career day events a local schools.  I’m always impressed at the variety of people who volunteer their time to talk with kids about their jobs.  When I received a packet from the school following the event, I assumed it would be a nice letter from the principal.  I was right.  But, in adddition to that, they included hand-made thank you notes from some of the children that saw my presentation.  I smiled all the way home from the post office.  And I still smile when I look at them.  So, that’s how to make someone’s day.
