Two Loves Of My Life
- PERSONAL
I figured this blog post would be a good time to introduce you to two loves in my life besides photography and they are my two dogs, Ruger & Bella (I do love my cat Princess as well but she is not as photo friendly as these two). Ruger is our 3 1/2 year old Black (Bench) Lab and Bella is our 9 month old mixed Black Lab/Australian Shepherd (we think)!?
We got Ruger a few months after Gunner had past away, it was just to difficult living without a dog. This time around when choosing a puppy we were very particular. We researched breeders and bloodlines until we found a one that was reputable. We were going for a bench lab, much like ones you would see in the Euckanuba Dog Shows. The plan was to look at the parents first before even seeing the litter, that way we knew what he could potentially grow up to look like.....this was not the case. By accident my mother was shown the litter first and as soon as she saw them she began bawling her eyes. We knew we would not be going home empty handed no matter what. It turns out Rugers parents were beautiful and came from a good bloodline and he is one of the greatest dogs in the world. Oh and his nickname is "Gene Simmons" for some obvious reasons, he he.
Bella on the other hand
is our stray rescue pup. My dad had found her on his way home from work when she was only two months old. She was just walking along the railroad tracks on the East side of Erie, in a not so great neighborhood. We tried to find her, her original owners but no luck. In the end we decided to keep her as we all had grown very attached. We have a nickname for her as well and that is "Bella Lugosi" on the fact that when she plays with Ruger she makes an awful face and looks like a vampire bat, just like Bela Lugosi did in his movies when he was a vampire.So as the weather is nice and they have been cooped up inside for a while now I decided to take the two on a walk to a local park. We all had a great time and I was able to get some photos of the two. After we had left the park and I drove away, I saw a guy speeding up and try to pass me ( I thought) But he was only trying to let me know I left my bag on the trunk of my car....my heart raced because I had left all my camera gear on the back and I was so thankful for him and for the fact that it had not fallen off. I was just about to turn onto a busy street and it was rush hour. That would not have made for a fun Friday. So without further ado here are two of the loves of my life.
Happy Saturday everyone,
Scott
