This is Lloyd. He's four years old.

Lloyd has two modes: on or off. When he's on, he's exuberant, curious and has a real zest for life! When he's off, he is usually asleep or close to it. He can be on one second and off the next – it's one of Lloyd's sweet personality traits.

And have I mentioned how handsome he is?


Lloyd is an accomplished agility dog and has placed at several dog shows. Maybe it's because of his long legs or cute brown nose. His hunting roots showed too – he was always tracking birds and he quickly found all the dog treats I had stashed in my camera bag!


I love this one – such a sweet face!

It was so much fun to photograph Lloyd in his Toronto neighbourhood. Thanks to Lloyd and his owner Kristi!

Here's a sneek peek of a photo shoot I did with Lloyd, a handsome and goofy vizsla. Vizslas are Hungarian hunting dogs, and Lloyd has tons of energy - he is so exuberant and just loves being a dog. More photos to follow soon!

bath time

Caution, wet dog ahead!

I think she stayed clean for about 10 seconds before she found something to roll in ... sigh.

How does your dog feel about bath time - is it a love it or hate it activity?

lost & found

The idea of your furry family member getting lost is frightening enough. But if Rover doesn’t have any identification, his return home is made that much more difficult.

Even if your cat or dog is microchipped, it’s important to make sure they still have external identification — the more ID the better!

It’s easy to spend a few dollars at a pet store to get a quick dog or cat tag from an instant machine. But these tags are lightweight, thin, and just don’t hold up to normal wear and tear.

There are lots of places online to order high-quality pet tags. We recently sprung for a new tag for Chloe from luckypet.com. It’s made from durable enamel, laser engraved and it has a lifetime guarantee. The tags come in a wide range of colours, sizes and fun styles. We ordered a pink paw-print tag to go with Chloe’s pink collar (a girl’s got to match!). The best part is that the tag only cost $10, plus a few dollars for shipping.

It gives us a little more peace of mind to know that if she ever gets lost, all the key information for Chloe’s safe return home is easily accessible.

Another great idea is to keep on file a current photograph of your pet, along with a description detailing any unusual markings that will help to identify Fido or Fluffy.

A missing pet is an owner’s biggest fear, but a few simple steps can help make sure they come home safely!
