I like to get my pets to pose for me.

What would we do without our furry friends? We remember fondly all of our past best buddies. They will indeed be missed.

Okay, I've signed up at Flickr. That Photobucket quality change was annoying. Thanks!

For myself I do wildlife photography but that doesn't pay the bills, for income I specialize in animal portraits of all kinds and more specifically sporting dog work. I'm currently in the field in southern AZ. working with bird dogs in the rare world of Mearn's Quail country doing a photo essay on the subject. I do no studio work and only work in a natural invirement. I was labelled earlier as a non pro by the OP. I just thought I would post some examples of work I have done for paying customers.

I volunteer at my local shelter and put the animals photos on the website for adoption. Photos should be consider accordingly. The space for each animal is rather small.

To the best of my knowledge, they all have found a home.​

kundalini - I just want to give booboo a big hug! OMG too cute. And I have never seen a dog that looked like 'popcorn' before. That's a very nice thing for you to do for your shelter.

Thank you ATX! I usually do not post photographs of a personal nature, but this is an easy exception to make. I miss him with all my heart. I am about six feet tall, and the cat would stand on his hind legs and stretch up to me reaching mid-chest.

He was huge! Not fat, but still well over 30 lbs. He was called a ca-dog. This is because of his dog-like nature. He would come when called. Play fetch. And so, so very much more.

He was a handsome cat, and he is the reason I can never get another cat again. There will never be another Duffy.

Thank you Dick. They are always there for us.

Glad to see you at flickr. Much better choice my friend.

This is a great photograph! I actually laughed out loud! Not that the others are bad, this one is just so good.

I love your effort and applaud your volunteer time. Its just that looking at these makes me want to cry. Animals are tough for me. I hold an EMT license. I have worked in Level 1 trauma centers in the heart of Chicago. I have seen some of the worst injuries and trauma the human body can suffer.

Show me a dog without a home, a dog with a broken leg, kittens hungry in the cold, I shut down. This is why I can be a doctor, not a veterinarian. This last line is a long story, but we will just leave it as is.

Thank you all for making this such a positive thread. It was rocky at first, but in the end, animals prevail!

Sincerely,

Nick
