Patterns

This weeks challenge is using patterns.  For a moment I was pondering what I should do, then I realized I was already working on a pattern.   The benefit for Second Chance Canine Adoption Shelter is coming up next Friday and is sure to be a wonderful event to aid the animals.  The volunteer’s have been working hard on getting things together for the event and I have seen a lot of wonderful donations coming in for the benefit.  I decided to work on a canvas for the event.  I wished to celebrate Lisa, who was our longest resident ( 18 month’s before finding her forever home), but I also wanted to honor all the other dogs as well.  I decided to make a pattern of all the dogs I had taken pictures of at Second chance and use that pattern to make a mosaic on an image of Lisa.  I hope you like the result.

Lessons from a Senior Dog

Nancy Kieffer

Working as a pet photographer as well as volunteering in a rescue, I have been blessed with getting to know a number of senior dogs. While I lost my Midnight at a young age, I was very fortunate to have Shamus with me for many years. Shamus was my clown, but boy did he know how to live! His wisdom grew as the years pressed on. I learned that each day spent with my senior dog was a lesson on the importance of living in the present, cherishing our bond and embracing our everlasting friendship.
