I absolutely loved working with Rosie the border terrier mix! She’s a little sweetheart who simply adores her family, and is happy to perform any trick for a treat! And she knows plenty of tricks, too – Rosie is adept at sit, stay, and she’ll even oblige with a “down” every once in a while. I love working with dogs that have great obedience; it makes the session go soooo much smoother, haha! And for me, it was interesting to see how Rosie interacted with her 10-year-old human brothers (all 3 of them!), compared to how she worked with her dad. With her brothers, it’s all fun & games – she does anything they ask, they give her a treat, and it’s right back to playtime. But with dad, something subtly changes, and Rosie seems to take on the attitude of “I’m on a mission”. I really saw this when we were playing fetch – she does NOT go after that ball casually! It’s a fierce race to grab it! I loved seeing the “business” attitude that she takes on with her dad, in comparison to the silly, carefree play with her brothers. Little Rosie is adaptable & smart, that’s for sure!  :)

We started in the studio, and this kind of cuteness just never stopped coming…

… and then we headed up to Old Poway Park! I love the rustic feel of the old train cars & railway atmosphere, and I think it works so well with Rosie because of her scruffy fur.

Don’t let her pose fool you: Rosie’s not exactly from the “other side of the tracks”. She has an awesome life!

Okay, I can’t resist including this photo too! Catch that ball, Rosie! Haha!

Cris, thank you so much for introducing me to your whole family! I had a blast with all of you & can’t wait to get together with you again soon! :)
