Tampa Pet Photographer - Little Pup, Big Personality

What do you get when you mix a spunky chihuahua with a sweet dachshund?

Meet Rocky. The name says it all.

I had the pleasure of hanging out with Rocky a couple weeks ago, and it turns out he's pretty photogenic.  Those sweet, innocent, adorable eyes made me spoil him with cookies. I couldn't help it. My dear friend, Emily, was with me, so she could confirm. Rocky is very persuasive in his cuteness. I found myself talking in a voice that resembled Cookie Monster, which Rocky may or may not have enjoyed, but as long as the cookie flow was available, Rocky was a happy boy.

I honestly wanted to take Rocky home with me, but I fear that his 2-year-old playmate would be very disappointed. So, instead I can reminisce with these photos, and in my best Cookie Monster voice, I say, "Roooooocky. I loooooove you."

And, yes, I'm a little bit of a dog dork. If you invite me to take pictures of your pups, you'll not only get some fun pics, but also some loving memories of me making a fool of myself.

Tampa Pet Photographer - The World's Sweetest Dog

This is Getty. Getty is one of three lucky dog-kids in the Cardoso household. However, Getty holds a special place in my heart. See, Getty is MY dog. She's little, she's crazy and she's got a sense of humor. I've had her for 6 years...wait, no, I think it's 7 years now. She was with me before a husband and a baby and a stepson and two other attention-hungry hounds. Getty was with me before the house and the yard and responsibilities. Getty and I, we've had good times and we've had bad. There was that time that she split my lip and sent me to the emergency room when she was 3 months old. Oh, and then there was that day when she ate part of my $600 chair when I was at work. And Getty did have an unnatural obsession with eating quarters for a while. But, she's totally worth it. And now, every time my daughter pulls her ear or squawks as Getty walks by, I'm reminded of what an awesome dog Getty really is.
