Afternoon Annie
My little personality-packed Boston Terrier, Annie, has been a favorite of editors and FotoWeek DC volunteers for some time now. Her welfare, not mine, is the first question I get from many of these admirers. “Hi Hannele! How’s Annie??” I don’t mind at all, in fact I love telling people about her. It makes me happy. She has this ability to make grumpy people smile and children scream with excitement. It’s good to be a dog. Especially a quirky, cute one. For Annie’s photo story, go to her gallery on my website.

Well, Murray has certainly made himself at home. Over the past 2 months, he has taught me that my life is all about him. Yes, that’s right, I was put on this Earth to play, massage, feed and walk him. I can’t sit in a chair without instantly having him in my lap. He yodels. Yep. It’s a sound I’ve never heard from a dog before. He’s a little stinky. He’s constantly hungry. He apparently wants to eat our neighbors cat. He doesn’t really know how to run. He hops instead and it’s hilarious. He can tuck himself in the bed better than I can. He thinks it’s ok to be on the bed. He has de-stuffed every one of Annie’s (my other Boston Terrier) toys. Worst of all, he has terrible gas. But then he looks at you with those great big goofy eyes and you can’t help but giggle. He has a big heart and can put up with Annie’s moods better than any dog I have ever seen. He’ll be your best friend in a matter of seconds. Best of all, he can make me laugh on even the toughest days. I’m in love.

feed me.
yum. that was good.
This set of favorites is of my little furball, Annie. I adopted her from a rescue group a few years ago and have been photographing her ever since. In December, I adopted another Boston Terrier named, Murray. Check back in 2010 for brother/sister photos!

Murray: the new dog in town.
Well, we did it. Yesterday David and I drove to Tennessee to pick up our second Boston Terrier from the rescue. Annie (our first and the one in the background in the photo above) is not necessarily happy about the new member of the family but she’ll come around.
Murray (full name: Paddington Murray) is about 6 years old, well trained and a total goof ball. I love him already. Don’t worry, I’ll post more photos once everyone is settled in a bit more….
I would encourage anyone looking to add a dog to their family, to consider adopting a rescue. There are so many wonderful dogs out there that need a home and a second chance at a happy life. Puppies are great, but rarely do they come housebroken!
