One of my favourite rescuers lives a few streets away and has very similar taste in dogs to me, but almost every time I offer to photograph one of his charges they get adopted before the shoot. Miss Kiwi wasn’t so lucky, but that’s ok, ’cause I realllly wanted to meet her – what with her being a Staffy, and white – my favourite combination!
Kiwi is available for adoption through Fetching Dogs in Sydney. Her PetRescue profile is here.
Little Orphan Petey went to his new home last weekend. It was supposed to start with a two week adoption trial, but they said from the outset that a trial wouldn’t be necessary, they’re confident that he’s a keeper. I thought they’d be ringing me after the first night and begging me to take the little tornado of destruction back, but it’s been a week and he seems to be settling in really well! Although I think he was happy to see me, I don’t think he was too happy about all the Christmas props I brought with me!
Sniper dog.
As a little treat for being so good [or should I say massively sad and distracted], he got to have a rumble with Bruno afterwards!
Petey has his own Facebook page now if you’d like to follow his life in his new home > www.facebook.com/PeteyTheWonderDog

Lovely photos. So glad Petey found his forever home. 
Great shots, Ruth! Those expressions are priceless!
Such a handsome boy! Merry Christmas Petey. My favourite is the shot with Petey wearing the gold ruffled collar with a grassy background and he has one ear up, one ear down but they’re all lovely shots.
The weather in Sydney recently has been wreaking havoc with my booking schedule. I’ve gotten to a point where I presume I’ll have to reschedule a shoot at least two times before it happens! On Tuesday the sky was totally overcast and it was really windy so I stopped my car on the way to Annandale to confirm that Lisa really wanted to go ahead with Pepper and Gucci’s shoot. She said yes and I’m really glad that she did because photographing two very fluffy Pomeranians in the wind is fun!
Watching them run was probably the highlight of my day!
Gucci is a supermodel in the making. She totally worked the camera!
Nice owners, nice dogs, nice house and nice park – all the vital ingredients for a great session!
Please note that Gucci’s tear stains have been pulled back in some but not all of her photos for this blog post. Naturally they’ll be consistently done in any images that Lisa buys at her ordering session.

You did an amazing job on these. Pepper and Gucci’s owners are gonna be thrilled with them.
Love these photos! Especially the ones with the Anzac Bridge in the background.
Bruno had a play date with my friend’s foster dog today. They met on lead at dog training yesterday but today was their first off lead romp. Cocoa has an equally rambunctious play style so they’re a perfect match for each other. The weather was utterly rubbish and the park was over-run with dog walkers, but we managed to grab fifteen minutes to ourselves between showers and boy did they make the most of it!
Cocoa will be spending Christmas with us, so I imagine you’ll be seeing more of her pretty face soon.

so good to see pics of dogs playing together like this without some horrible headline or attachment stating how hideous and vicious they are!! if you were to capture my dog mid play many photos would look the same, she is just having fun.. they jump, they wrestle, they show their teeth, thats dogs at play! keep up the great work in supporting these beautiful breed of dogs, one of which has brought endless joy into my life! the more we can educate people about how to care properly for their dogs the better this world will be…
If you’re a fan of my Facebook page you might have seen a whole heap of photos of red and white Amstaff puppies recently! There was Stella and Petey from Puppy Love Rescue and then Bruce and Merlin from Towilla Amstaffs. This is Mack, Bruce and Merlin’s brother. He’s currently winging his way to Western Australia after spending 24hrs here to break up the long journey to his new home.
Him and Bruno had a great time playing together! There’s some footage of them playing tug here and biteyface here.
He can go either way with his ears, he looks equally cute regardless!
While our lot were having their walk with Dave this morning I took some photos of Mack inside. Such a shame he had to leave, I think he would make a great photographer’s muse.
There’s one more video you might enjoy… this is Angel with Mack… what a fruitcake!!
