Romey

This Cincinnati dog has a happy ending kind of a story.

He was in a puppy mill for the first part of his life and unwanted after they were finished with him.  

Puppy Mills are abominable p.s. 

A shelter rescued him and named him Romeo because he was so affectionate...what a resilient little soul.

And then an Angel couple adopted him.

They call him Romey:)

Best guess on his breed is Bichon mixed with something pretty darn cute.

He has the absolute best life now and is showered with love and kisses...and respect.

He loves the other doggy in the house, Poppy, and grooms him everyday.....ummm all day.

His human mom says laughing,

"In fact, Romey is a compulsive licker.  He cannot stop licking, he's obsessed.....he even licks the air."

Bless his heart...Look at that face..100% adorable!

Buckeye

Yes, in Ohio we name our dogs after our college football teams.  #NationalChamps #hollah

Buckeye was rescued by a family who said they "would never get a dog...especially one that sheds."

So what did they do?

They went and got a white dog that sheds every two seconds:)

Buckeye has only had one major penalty so far.

He ate half the Christmas ornaments.

When the vet came in she said, "The X-Ray shows tinsel."  

Thank goodness he was ok even though he did have some shiny poop that night:)....Merry Christmas!

Buckeye is a love bug who likes to cuddle with the two girls in the family and go on runs with Mom and Dad.  And look at those eyes...they are mesmerizing...

It's all about Buckeye. Because that's what

 happens when you get a dog......

One day you swear you'll never get one, and the next day you're on hold with Pottery Barn trying to locate a miniature white chair to get his name embroidered on it.  

GO BUCKS!!!

Reilly

I met Reilly on a beautiful sunny day in Swaim Park.


She was very excited and wouldn't stop moving:)


"She wags her whole body" the lady said.


It's true.

Kind of reminded me of a Goldendoodle version of Tas from Looney Tunes

But then out of nowhere she stopped and sat down.

And promptly stuck her tongue out at me:)

Mowgli

This is Mowgli the teeny tiny puppy.

He is impossibly cute...truly he is.

I feel like if Hollywood were casting a dog for a new 'Lil Rascals movie, he would get the part for sure......he'd look perfect hangin' in that clubhouse.

So, here's his story.....

Mowgli was found in the East End of Cincinnati with his brother.


Two wonderful ladies who are cousins took them both home respectively to keep forever. The boys are loved very much and get to see each other still.  #whatsupbro


Mowgli's new human mama took him everywhere with her and would ask everyone she met their opinion on a name.  Someone offered Mowgli, and that was it. 

Best guess on his breed is Chorkie  (Chihuahua/Yorkie mix)....What?!?...even a cute breed name...no fair.

He is a big hit in his neighborhood.  All the kids run to see him after school.  And he is so affectionate.

                          By the way,                                        
            His brother's name is Bagheera:)

"Forget about your worries and your strife"....

(from The Jungle Book) 

Bless your little puppy face Mowgli!

thanks!  #dogsofcincy #wagyourtale #puparazzi

*Side note for non Disney gurus...Mowgli and Bagheera are characters from The Jungle Book :)

Poppy

I met Poppy in the suburb of Montgomery.  

He's a 6 year old Maltipoo. 

I think his smile may be permanent.

Or maybe it was because he was on his way to Pet People to get bully sticks.

His human mom said:

"We named him Poppy so we could call him Pops when he gets older:)"

"And watch this trick......Where's dad?  Where's dad? "


And this is what he does:

I can't.......it was just too cute.  

He stood like that forever.  

"He doesn't like for his dad to be very far away," she said

Oh Pops,  you made my day!

Molly

When you just want to take a walk in peace and the puparazzi is stalking you...

I mean, look at that expression. I love it..she's over me before we've even met.  HA!

Seriously though, it was a comedy show.  

Everytime I would kneel down to take a photo she would turn her back.  

So.....I let her be and talked to her cute and super friendly human mom for awhile.

I found out that Molly loves sports.  The family calls her Air Bud.

Her favorite sports to play with the kids are basketball and soccer..she really gets in there with them.

But if there is a turnover and she gets the ball...game over.....she deflates it most of the time.

Kind of like Bam Bam, doesn't know her own strength:)

Sooooooo.....by this time, me and the mom are friends and...... 

  Molly was beginning to think maybe she WOULD like to be on a dog blog and I snapped this pic

Look at that posture...what a beauty!

Molly is six years old. She's a gorgeous American Bulldog.

Thanks for giving me a challenge Molly. Have a nice walk...... I promise I won't follow you:)

Chance

I was lucky enough to meet Chance on his 14th Birthday...I thought my heart would burst!!

The big day was the reason for the rainbow colored lei around his neck....he was ready for the soirée. 

What a handsome and distinguished gentleman.....love that salt 'n pepa look. 

If Chance started speaking I think he would sound like Sean Connery;)


His human dad was walking with him and said that Chance really prefers his human mom. 


When dad gets home, Chance runs to the door, realizes it's him, turns around and heads back to his bed.  Ouch!

When the mom gets home, it's a different story...he's all over her with kisses!


I'm guessing Mom gave him the pretty rainbow lei:)


Happy Birthday Chance..what an honor it was to photograph you.  Cheers to many more years...you're looking good brother!

That just means I have years of experience in the 

fine art of friendship"

Jada

I would like to be friends with Jada.

First, can we just discuss how this dog is posing for me?  

Slight tilt of the head, hint of a smile, eyebrows on fleek..... jealous.

Jada is about a year old and is a Miniature Australian Shepherd. Her coat is a swirl of the most beautiful warm colors.  

 Is Jada named after Jada Pinkett-Smith? Most likely not, but that's all I could think of after I found out what her name was.  And I'm sure you all had that same thought too......Anyone?  #willsmith #gettinjiggywithit  

No wimpy tennis balls for this gal.

She likes to fetch soccer balls.

With that teeny tiny little mouth?  

Yes, and she brings it all the way back to you.   

Ambitious girl!  I love it.

Gunnar

Gunnar is a gangster....let's just get that out into the Universe right now. He's a little Tony Soprano.

He looks rough with that underbite, like he could rob you. 

But, he's quick and happy to flip over for a belly rub. He's a sweetie.

He's as long as he is wide....perhaps because he eats his food at home, as well as the dog food at all the neighbors' houses.

Gunnar also has an obsession with chewing up everyone's underwear.... So all doors to bedrooms must stay closed

In short (no pun intended), Gunnar is a boss and he knows it.

Belle

 Belle is a sweet and gentle soul.

Whenever someone arrives home she runs to grab a gift for them.

A sock, a mitten, a hat, whatever she can find.

Her family doesn't care what the gift is.....it's the thought that counts.

Lucky Boy

Lucky was rescued as a puppy and is now 6 years old. 

Through the years Lucky has somehow equated the words "go potty" with "go get it!" So when opening the door to let him out, if you say, "go potty", he runs out barking and growling like he's going to attack something. 

His family enjoys saying, "go potty"at random times so he will jump up and start growling. Highly entertaining. 

One of the many cute quirks of this loved Lucky Boy.

Rosie Was My First Dog

Thought it would be appropriate to start this blog with my very first dog, Rosie.

Rosie was a beautiful Shetland sheep dog. She had a little pinkish mark on the white of her nose, and that's why we named her Rosie. She was a herder. 

One memory that makes me laugh is that when anyone would get in the car to leave, Rosie would run circles around the car for a good five minutes like her life depended on it. She was trying to herd the person so they wouldn't escape.

The memory that makes our mom laugh, is the story about when Rosie jumped out the car window on her way to obedience class. She had been there the previous week and knew exactly where they were headed. 

Sweet and Smart. Miss you Rosie!

Dogs of Cincy Intro

Combining my love of Dogs, Photography and Cincinnati.

 I am starting this blog to bring joy to people who love all animals, with a soft spot for dogs.  I know people love to tell stories about their dogs, because I do too.

  I want to hear about what your dog does that makes you smile, shake your head, and laugh too.
