i used to take pet portraits for people. Got pretty good at making unusual noises to get the dog's expression. With horses, an umbrella slowly opening works wonders! But dogs, like kids, get bored quickly. In my experience if you don't get "that" shot in the first minute or so, you won't. But some are real hams and love the camera! Basenjis generally are very photogenic. π
A Day and Life of a Dog Walker and B
-
When I got Manah I quit my job as a creative director and became a professional dog walker. Yeah, the money isn't as good but it makes Manah very happy to get to walk all day with her favorite dog friends. And as you know, it's all about making the Basenji happy! Here she is walking with her favorite friends, Buster the 3-legged dog and Hunter the Husky, and boy does she have a thing for Huskies! I think she's jealous of their long thick hair, cause it's COLD here in Minnesota!
This is Manah after a long day of walking. Not very comfortable for me, but I don't matter, it's all about her comfort!

Oh yes, it has been cold this winter. Manah looks very happy though.

Fun photos! She looks darling in those booties and her nice warm coat. If you can pay the bills and love your job, you are miles ahead, in my book.

Thanks! I do love my job; no people to deal with which means no stress. Plus I can be with Manah all the time! I love her so.

I love your photos, job and dog! I work in real estate so I have the pleasure of creating my own schedule, which of course is directed around my basenji activities also
CONGRATS on your new Khani's puppy! As a friend of Kathy's I have been regularly visiting the pups since they were born, and will also be welcoming one of this years pups to my home very soon! Little Uzza is gorgeous, and a doll! You are a lucky woman!
