Chewie

This is yesterday's dog Nikita's housemate, Chewie.

He is a terrier mix.

"He looks like Chewbacca from Star Wars when his hair isn't trimmed. That's how he got his name. He's a little Wookie," his human mom laughed.

"He loves everyone too."

So true....he sat right down in the grass with me....so sweet.  I just kept thinking that he looked like that Benji dog in the movies from when I was a little kid. I loved Benji:)

If you look real close into his beautiful eyes, you can see me snapping his picture.

Oh by the way, I found a pic of the original Benji

definitely a resemblance!

Thanks for the sweet moment Chewie, you made me smile:)

Nikita

This is Nikita

She is a mix of Pointer and Pit they think....

So, I was walking and they were walking down a different path and I thought to myself, "Please turn this way, please turn this way."  Because I don't actually want to chase people down, I want it to happen naturally....organic if you will. And they did.....yay

Her human mama spotted Nikita on Petfinder and fell in love with that face.  I fell in love with that face too.  Everything was so unique about her looks.....even her awesome nose.  And she had a cool black dot on her back...

"She's faster than a cheetah" her human mom said..."Look at her muscular legs."

She was already named Nikita when the mom adopted her , and I think that is a beautiful and fitting name.

I love rescued dogs....the majority of them have the sweetest natures...and they are so unique.

This next shot happened accidentally, but isn't it adorable?  Nice teeth Nikita:)   

She was walking with her housemate Chewie and they are good buddies:)

Forrest

This is Forrest.  He was lazily enjoying the nice weather after his walk.  His dog walker was dining al fresco at Happy Belly in OTR.

"He's a wild boy!" she said.  "He's very playful."

Forrest is a Wheaton Terrier and is just about full grown.  

He was such a beautiful boy and his coat was amazing.  

I swear it felt just like a chenille blanket from Pottery Barn.  He would be a great cuddler.

Chanel and Jagger

I met Chanel and Jagger  in front of Bakersfield OTR....yum.

They were picking up their carry-out:)

Chanel the white mix...looks like bichon, schitzu, poodle is 10 years old

Jagger the little black one you can barely see, is 1 1/2 they think.

Jagger was recently adopted from Recycled Doggies, a great rescue organization in Cincinnati.

Recycled Doggies had found him in a box on the side of the road....and now he has a great home and sibling.

"Chanel is really teaching Jagger how to be social, how to cooperate...they're really starting to get along."

I love this.

I love their names too....the Fashionista and the Rocker.  Very cool!

Chanel and Jagger are from Hyde Park.

Eeezy

Ezekiel is a 2 year old American Cocker Spaniel

His birthday is May 15...so Happy Birthday!

Eeezy is his nickname.

"Oh I wish you would have caught him on Wednesday because that's when he gets groomed!"

Really?  I think he looks pretty stylish and sleek!

Eeezy was super friendly and a beautiful dog.

Cocker Spaniels were so popular to have as a pet when I was growing up, and now I barely ever see one it seems.  I was glad to get to photograph one. They are sweethearts.

Thanks Eeezy!

Roxie

I met Roxie the Pomeranian in Madeira.

She's 6 years old.

The kids named her after their favorite TV character:)

The little girl said, "If you say her name over and over she howls."

"Also, if you say Pickles! Pickles! Pickles! she turns in circles.. she loves pickles."

It's true I saw her do the trick:)

Roxie is a beauty and she looks like she is in a constant state of happiness....and she keeps her family entertained....

Lucky family and lucky dog.

Gibbs

Gibbs was walking in beautiful Pioneer Park...one of the most peaceful spots on Cincinnati's East Side...

It has a nice wooded path that runs along a creek..

Relaxing spot for walking dogs.



His very friendly human mom said, 

"When we got him from the shelter, they had already named him Gibbs.

  It's after the character on NCIS, the TV series. "

So far, Gibbs takes the prize for the shiniest dog I've ever seen.

And he was moving around so much I could barely snap a pic. 

 But, sometimes photos are most perfect when they're imperfect...I love how his ear is flying out...one of my  favorite shots so far.

Thanks Gibbs:)..carry on with your shiny self.
