Don't worry

I haven't disappeared...

Unfortunately my laptop has left for greener pastures. I'm going out on Friday to go purchase my new one, but in the meantime I'm relying on my 9-5 computer to communicate.

And yes, I really cried. I sat on the floor and shed shameless tears. What was going to be my shiny new lens will now be a shiny new laptop.

Such is life I guess.


See you Friday.

AWFNJ Conference

I spent a wonderful weekend in New Brunswick at the Animal Welfare Federation of New Jersey Conference (http://www.awfnj.org/) I was so grateful to be asked to speak, and of course was so excited to spend the weekend with people who are as passionate about saving animals as I am. I met some really amazing people who I am looking forward to hearing from (about their WONDERFUL photographs!) and a few wonderful animals. I also was fortunate enough to be able to sit in on some other workshops and brought home quite a bit of knowledge with me.

I'll be posting a blog later this week that includes most of the information from my workshop. We were a bit pressed for time so I didn't get to cover everything I wanted to. As I said to everyone who attended, please feel free to e-mail me with any questions or just to let me know how your doing!

Well, I'm off to bed. While wonderful, it was a tiring weekend. Before I go here are a few of the friends I made. The awful part of this is, I am awful with human names, but I remember almost every animal I met. If I'm wrong with any of these names, please correct me!

Princess Bella

Meet Princess Pomeranian Bella. Bella knows she is a princess and demands a quota of attention and belly rubs every day. Her session was a surprise for her Mommy from her son and his girlfriend, who informed me she had not been eating her treats. I whipped out my trusty bag of organic salmon treats and she couldn't get enough. Perhaps the others weren't just to up to Princess Bella's standards that day?

After our session we had a nice time on the couch where we played with her new Cuz squeaky toy and I gave her some nice belly rubs. I think its safe to say I made a new friend. Try to tell me I don't have a great job.
