Cider (cute boy on left!) had the chance to go in for a photo shoot with his mom ... here's what she had to say:

"This was the second year we've taken advantage of this event. Two years ago we were told our dear sweet Molly probably wouldn't live another few months. We realized we didn't have any good pictures of her and then saw the Pet Haven/Photographer's Guild offer and took them up on it. Molly was not a very photogenic dog but the Photographer's Guild took some great pictures and we got one that is most definitely MOLLY.

So this year, my husband is away with the military. I saw the offer and decided to surprise him with pictures of Cider and myself. What more could he want, right?

Cider was a stinker. He didn't like the flash and almost refused to look at the photographer! We used all his favorite words, walk, treat, car, frosty paw! He figured out pretty quickly he wasn't getting any of it!

The photographer took an hour with us and told me that Cider wasn't going to win! We were going to get a good picture of him! We did. In fact we got so many good pictures of him it was very hard to pick!

The folks at Photographer's guild are professional, patient and willing to do what it takes to get the shot!

We'll definitely do it again!"

Thanks Cider and Andrea for supporting Pet Haven and homeless dogs and cats!! And Cider, you are definitely one very photogenic boy!! :)

Photo fundraiser for Pet Haven

Ahnung (pronounced ah-NUNG, and means "star" in ojibway) is a rescued dog who came to Pet Haven from Red Lake Rosie's Rescue. I adopted Ahnung in January of 2009. Since that time she's been busy napping (her favorite past time -- as you can tell, she's even learned to nap while sitting upright!) and doing outreach work with kids. Her latest calling, however, has been modeling. She had the chance to practice her various poses at Photographers Guild last week and wanted me to share with you her favorite pose.

Ahnung would like for you to help raise donations for her furry friends who are patiently waiting for their forever homes. Photographers Guild is offering a free pet portrait session and a free 8 x 10 if you make a donation to Pet Haven for $40. In fact, Ahnung would like to tell you herself what she thought about the photo shoot. Check out her blog AND be sure to call Photographers Guild at 651.646.3239 to make your appt. The photo fundraiser runs through April 30, 2009.
