Old Golds

 The other day I was asked to go to the vet hospital to photograph two new "Old Golds" that were just brought in and rescued.  Fourteen year old Sammie was turned in by his owner who was about to be deployed and twelve year old Lewis was found as a stray.  As it turned out both goldens were smelly and not so good looking.  They had bad teeth (and breath) and more than a few warts.  It was up to me to capture their "inner beauty" and have the pictures posted as available for adoption.

First, was Sammie.  He was very sweet and friendly and LOVED getting out of the hospital for his photo shoot!  He rolled in the grass over and over.....all the way down the hill.  He was full of smiles and just wanted to kiss me and my camera!  We had a blast!

Next, was old Lewis.  Now he was a different fellow and very camera shy!  Even when I did get a shot of him he looked like his eyes were closed.  After a short while he started warming up...once he realized that this was kinda fun.  Part of the problem could have been that Lewis didn't know his name was Lewis.  No one knew his original name so he was given this one.  He probably was wondering what this funny lady was doing rolling around in the grass and calling him Lewis.  For all we know his name is Fred!  Lewis is a good boy and deserves to live out the rest of his life in a loving home.

So, the really awesome news is that both these "Old Golds" had their new pics put up on the available for adoption site and.........have been adopted!  Right away they found a home!!!  This is just the best news!!!!  YEAH!
