Happy Birthday Logan!!!

Happy 2nd Birthday to my darling Logan!!!

Every year I make sure to have their birthday be special for them. Just because they aren't human, doesn't mean they don't know that it is their birthday.

The end to an interesting week

Saturday, Adam and I went to the Pet Expo. It was interesting. Not as good as I really thought though. They didn't have as much cool free stuff as I thought they would. Usually we get a bunch of pens, paper and other stuff but no.. I think the only free pen I got was from the pet cemetery place. There was one really cute booth though. It included Sugar gliders. Little flying squirrel type things. (See below) They are super soft and kind of remind me of a hamster... I would of gotten one but they cost only a meer $400. I will stick with my dogs and maybe a hamster.

Sunday was fun too. We shot an engagement session for one of my co-workers, Megan, and her fiance Dan. They were very fun to work with. An adventurous couple, I must say. They were troopers, getting on the ground without a second thought. We started their session at a popular spot in Midland, MI, Dow Gardens. From there, we made our way to downtown Midland and wondered around taking pictures in various places. A couple of their photos can be seen below.

On, Monday, Adam and I got new lenses!!!! Thank you stimulous money!! We purchased some spiffy 50mm fixed lenses. It will take some getting used to zooming in with this one. (The zoom consists of my legs) But it takes great photos, you can see a couple I took below. Nice depth of field if I do say so myself.

Above is Logan, standard with bowl in mouth. (BTW, he just ate in that picture)

Above is Artie, silly as can be. He is such a character.

Last, but not least, this is my boyfriend Adam. I hope he doesn't come to the blog... If the picture doesn't exist anymore. He had me take it down. Did I mention that my photographer boyfriend doesn't like his picture taken? =)

Tuesday and Wednesday, I went to a user group meeting in GR for Bankway. (Enough about my "other" job. Ick.)

Thursday... nothing spectacular..

Friday, well I fell asleep at 8PM if that tells you anything....

And here we are, back at Saturday!! May 10th! My big boy Logan is turning 2 tomorrow!! It seems like yesterday we just brought him home. It is kind of rushed really, having Logan's birthday, Mother's Day and my nephew, Justin's birthday all on the same day. Just a little cramped throughout the day.

I will post Logan's birthday picture once it has been taken.

Have a great weekend!

It's a beautiful morning!

I am so excited! The pet expo is today at the Dow Event Center. I admit I am a pet LOVER! Nothing brings me more joy than the look on my dogs faces when I wake up and when I walk in the door. So full of love. With Logan, we may as well put velcro attaching him to my hip. He is going to be two next week and follows me everywhere. We have a baby gate blocking them from getting out of the living room and he stands there, waiting for me to come back.

Artie, on the other hand, we decided to make him a little more independant. We didn't baby him quite as much, but he still needs some TLC. While we bought Logan from a breeder, we adopted Artie from SAFE, and organization in Clare, MI, that saves dogs and cats from being put down and adopts them out for a fee. (pretty much the same price as Logan) We were told that Artie and his siblings were found roaming the streets of Saginaw, Dixie Hwy to be specific. He still has some issues riding in the car, whining until he realizes we are not dropping him off.

Here is a picture of my little guys. (Artie is black, Logan is yellow)
