Animal Friends - Pet Portraits

Maybe they think we're friendly giants here to do their bidding. Maybe they think we're quite pathetic. After all, we don't chase butterflies, and we have no tails... But their acceptance is unconditional; and because of this, we learn from them, live with them, and love them so very much.

Every now and then, I take down my Pet Album and reminisce about all the sweet furry ones who have shared my life. 

Bring the pets who own you to your family portrait session and I'll take some pictures of them by themselves, as well as with you.  In years to come, these portraits will be as priceless as any other "family" picture.

Animal friends.
Unconditional love.

Love dogs? You'll love these:

 

If you can't decide between a Shepherd, a Setter or a Poodle, get them all ... adopt a mutt!
- ASPCA advice

The intelligence of a Poodle and the loyalty of a Lassie. The bark of a Shepherd and the heart of a Saint Bernard. The spots of a Dalmatian, the size of a Schnauzer, and the speed of a Greyhound. A genuine, All-American Mutt has it all.
- ASPCA slogan

Hybrid vigor is an important concept in the plant world. You get this from combining the different strengths of different strains. It's the same with mutts — if you want a dog with hybrid vigor — get a mutt.
- Mary Gallagher

Breed a Boxer with a German Shorthaired Pointer, you get a Boxershorts. A dog never seen in public.
- Good Dog! Magazine


Breed a Bulldog with a Shih Tzu and you get a Bullshitz.
- Good Dog! Magazine


Breed a Deerhound with a terrier, you get a Derriere. True to the end!
- Good Dog! Magazine


Breed a Labrador Retriever with a Curly Coated Retriever, you get a Lab Coat Retriever. The choice for research scientists.
- Good Dog! Magazine


Mix a Newfoundland with a Bassett Hound, you get the Newfound Asset Hound. A dog for financial advisors.
- Good Dog! Magazine


Breed a Pointer with an Irish Setter, you get a Pointsetter.  A traditional Christmas Pet.
- Good Dog! Magazine


Mutts are often better to work with. Sometimes, some of the breed dogs get hyper and have lots of health problems. Mutts are just great!
- Betty Linn, animal trainer, referring to the collie mix Maui, who played Murray on the television show Mad About You


Yes, he's got all them different kinds of thoroughbred blood in him, and he's got other kinds you ain't mentioned and that you ain't slick enough to see.
- Don Marquis


I prefer mutts. The artificial construction of the gene pool is bad for the species as a whole. In a restricted gene pool, the defects pile up. The truly superior specimen is the outbred, not the inbred.
- Michael Swift


He wa'n't no common dog, he wa'n't no mongrel; he was a composite.  A composite dog is a dog that is made up of all the valuable qualities that's in the dog breed — kind of a syndicate; and a mongrel is made up of all riffraff that's left over.
- Mark Twain


My name is Oprah Winfrey. I have a talk show. I'm single. I have eight dogs — five golden retrievers, two black labs, and a mongrel. I have four years of college.
- Oprah Winfrey, when asked to describe herself during jury selection


He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog. You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart. You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion.
- Unknown Author


Dear God, please make me the kind of person my dog thinks I am.
- Unknown Author


If you can resist treating a rich friend better than a poor friend,
If you can face the world without lies and deceit,
If you can say honestly that deep in your heart you have no prejudice against creed, color, religion or politics,
Then, my friend, you are almost as good as your dog.
- Unknown Author


One reason a dog can be such a comfort when you're feeling blue is that he doesn't try to find out why.
- Unknown Author


And the difference between cats and dogs...

With a dog:
You feed him, praise him, take care of his every need, and the dog thinks, "WOW - this guy must be a god!"

With a cat:
You feed him, praise him, take care of his every need, and the cat thinks, "WOW - I must be a god."
