That Dog Tog

That Dog Tog Adventures with Bean and all the furry friends we will meet and photograph along the way.

These are the bits & the pieces of emotions that fall out of me into image & into words create the unfolding tale of this wildflower, once rose. Her Wild Love, a story about falling in love with oneself & battling then healing from their demons. These excerpts, words & verses will be slowly compiling a collection fit for a book publication worthy of your hands to hold & eyes to read.

Recently, at a fave pet store of ours, my kids went over to greet a young woman and her 3 absolutely beautiful dogs.

Our 8 month old puppy is a bit reactive with other dogs on initial greetings, so we were practicing our calm watching, her focus command, and purposeful ignoring together just a few meters away.

From where we stood, I could hear are my kids, happy, saying “our dog has a tik tok!” in response to the woman mentioning her dogs having instagram. This woman responded with “yeah, but does it have 12k followers?” 🤯

My KIDS were simply trying to relate with this woman and converse naturally with her while greeting her dogs. If she didn’t want greetings she could have turned them away when they asked to say hello.

Imagine if she responded with “oh that’s so fun! What kind of videos does your dog post?” Or a simple “I bet that’s a lot of fun”…… or just about ANYTHING other than “does your dog have 12k followers”. She could have actually INFLUENCED my kids with healthy conversation vs just showing off.

Our TikTok videos of Bean aren’t awesome, like, I am just a still photographer folks, video isn’t my skill ahahaha….if Bean ever gets 12k followers it would be a shock….. but that was never our plan, desire or purpose…

We just want to see people smile and laugh. Be it at a silly video of our own dog, or in the art you hang from our photo sessions together…. It’s simply not a popularity contest over here.
We straight up are just a family that loves animals, especially dogs.

I hope to have the chance to meet more folks that simply just love dogs too, and hopefully take their photos one day!

The day we said goodbye.

Sitting here now, relaxing on my front porch after a day of editing the cutest week old puppies ever. I have my baby Bean now at my feet and my tired eyes are full with memories that keep spilling down my cheeks. I am missing this old girl of ours something fierce in this moment.

I do not take this love for granted🐾❤️

This was our favourite spot to paws on our daily walks while ‘stay-cationing’ in Banff last week 🐾 Beans first visit of many.
The perks of having family visit from out of town, is that we come play tourist with them when able. 😆

Soooooooooooo.... I officially purchased the domain for That Dog Tog in place of Tails That Tell, and went and flipped the name all over my socials........

Therefore... let me show you a non dog related pet photograph! 😅

I still will gladly photograph ALL pets, but dog's will simply be the core foundation here is all.

Sometimes the outtake shots are the best ones!!! Here’s when Bean decided that she had “stayed” long enough and now needed some mama snuggles again. 🧡🖤🤍

In all honesty though, she was sincerely working her training through these photos like a total champ!
I was a very impressed puppy mama.
