Charity Kickballers meet their match

Appropriate pouty face-
Ok, I know that this information is a little late to the party, but the public must know. For the first time this season our beloved kickball team, the Free Agents, lost a game. The game was played last Monday night. They were handed a sound 6 to 3 defeat by the Bend It Like Chewbeccam team. The Free Agents hope to bounce back next Monday, September 29 versus the Misfits at 8:15. For further details please visit our kickball schedules and info page. This page also contains information about our charity efforts to support the Rancho Coastal Humane Society. We still need your pledge to reach our goal.

The Great Dane and the Shih Tzu

Meet Annabelle, a beautiful blue Great Dane and Rascal, the spunky Shih Tzu. Annabelle and Rascal's mom brought them in for portraits this week. What a duo! Annabelle, who is still a puppy, kept us busy. Rascal just worked the camera. Here are a couple favorites...

Rikshaw & Mai Thai

I love to meet new dog breeds. These unusual canines are Thai Ridgebacks. They come in a few colors and a range of sizes. These two beauties are Mai Thai and Rikshaw. They represented two sizes and colors. They have a lovely temperament.

Rikshaw [below] is the strong silent type with striking features.



The lovely miss Mai Thai will steal your heart with her soulful eyes.





Next week I will get to photograph a Korean Jindo ...Tres Exotique!

Hey, Can you smell that?....

....sniff, sniff...It smells like VICTORY!

That's right dear friends, fellow kickballers and gracious charity pledgers, The Free Agents have improved their record to 3 wins and 0 losses after last nights nail biting win over the reigning league champs, Recess Never Ends.

The game was exciting from start to finish. It was a pitchers duel as Recess Never Ends, carried a 2 - 0 lead through the bottom of the sixth inning. The Free Agents scored three runs in the top of the seventh to take the lead and held on for the win in the bottom of the seventh inning.

The 3 runs doesn't break the bank for our charity pledgers, but was enough to beat a team that had gone undefeated the previous two seasons.

The win puts the Free Agents in sole possession of first place.

A victory celebration was held at the Bullpen Sports-bar.

Thanks to everybody for your continued support. The Free Agents will be taking on their next victim next Monday at 7:15, Paul Ecke Sports Park.

Please spread the word. We are still looking for more pledges to benefit the Rancho Coastal Humane Society. You can send this link to anybody that is interested in helping http://ohmydogphoto.blogspot.com/2008/08/charity-kickball.html

Free Agents Victorious...Again!

Game 2 for our beloved kickball team, the Free Agents, was played on Monday night with the outcome being another Free Agents victory over the Screamin' Mikes. The win sends the Free Agents to the top of the league with a 2 and 0 record. Technically the score of the game was 3 to 3, but the Screamin' Mikes did not have enough women on the field during play, which required them to forfeit the game. The Free Agents now look forward to a big game with Recess Never Ends next Monday at 7:15. Recess Never Ends is the reigning league champion. The match should be really exciting.


Sarah's fist pumping excitement at the end of the game.


The victorious Free Agents!

Pi and Marina

I am trying to catch up with some older shoots that I want to post. This is from a couple of months ago. Pi the Cat and Marina [Pi's human mom] were such terrific models. Pi didn't really see the point in this whole photo idea so was opting to stay under the couch. Once we coaxed her out however, she was a super star. America's Next Top Cat Model!

Meatball!!!

We had a booth during the Cardiff Dog Days of Summer on August 9th this year. Whenever we have a booth we like to have some fun and host a drawing. One of the winners of our portrait shoot drawing was a pug named Meatball. That's right, Meatball! One of the coolest dog names ever! Meatball is an absolute sweetheart and a real character to photograph. You can't tell in the photos, but Meatball is blind. He doesn't let it get him down though, as he is full of spunk and energy. He charmed us all with his toungey grins, curly tail and the occasional bump into the wall.
