Hipster BEAR

I'm sitting at the Atlanta airport during a (7 hour) layover on my way home from Spain, so let me see what pictures I can post up today while I'm waiting. I know I've already moved a lot of my recent favorites over to my external hard drive but there should still be plenty to chose from!

This is BEAR (his name will probably change soon when he gets adopted) and he is one of my most current foster puppies! I foster for Peak Lab Rescue and work with a lot of their rescues on behavior modification to make them more adoptable. I'm especially lucky that the staff of Peak Lab trusts me with pregnant mommies and to whelp them. This is probably one of my most favorite things in the world. To help bring life into the world and then watch them grow and change so much. Everyone asks how I give them up, but I know they're going to a family where they will mutually make each other's life companions. BEAR's mom, AUBURN, is a lab mix, and daddy is anyone's guess! 

I love his "cool pose" with these sunglasses. I need to work on better backgrounds and staging for posed pictures, because clearly draping a sheet over the couch doesn't work all that well. I'm really excited about watching the progress of my photography skills improve as this blog goes on and I receive (constructive) criticism, and get others' opinions on my photos!
