The hard life of dog owners!

Melissa, her pups, Cinny and I enjoying our walk!

Last year we had a photo shoot adventure with the dogs. One of my friend's friend, who is a photographer,  asked us if we could help him perfection his photography skills. Of course we gave him paws up!! These are some of the photos:

 Me, Mel and KJ

Mommy and pooch!

Cinnamon being a super model! 

We had fun posing for the cameras and it was nice to have the dogs being part of the experience. I think Cinny wants to be a prawwfessional model ;)

Dog mommy of the month!

  Melissa, a happy dog mommy of two lovely pups!

 I present you Melissa. Melissa is mom of Burger (Westie)  and Derby (Maltese). Burger is Cinnamon's boyfriend.

I always wanted to have dogs, and when I meet Melissa and her pups I could not stop thinking about adopting one, and months later I got Cinnamon!

These pictures are from a photo shoot we had last year.

Melissa is a very sweet person with a huge heart. We both love our pups; we would be a real family if Burger asks Cinnamon's paw (wink, wink). 

Every time Mel and I get together, we talk about living in a big city like New York or San Francisco, being neighbors and going shopping everyday! How fun would that be? 

Since we both enjoy cooking and baking, we started our own little business called SUGAR THERAPY.

Kjersti and Garbanzo!

Presenting mom Kjersti and Garbanzo!

I present you lovely Kjersti and Garbanzo! 

Kjersti was my first friend at SCU, we took the same classes together for the first trimester and I enjoyed her company a lot!

KJ is a very beautiful person inside and out! She is not scared of showing her emotions which is something I admire. I also admire her dedication to exercising and being healthy. She has her own inspiring website where she provides tips and useful information for runners check it out here. 

This is Garbanzo, he was in love with Cinnamon when he first met her, but Cinnamon was not interested in him   :( . He is a rescued dog and that alone tells you a lot about KJ and her compassion for dogs.

These two don't get along, but Garb doesn't give up!

KJ and me at our graduation day!

After three long years of grad school Kjersti and I were proudly posing for the cameras last June :) It was just funny how we started school together and ended up sitting next to each other at the graduation ceremony!!

Keep inspiring people dear KJ! 

Autie Martha and Bella!

 Bella the pug (like all sisters, she and Cinny fight sometimes, but they love each other)

 This is Martha, she loves Bella and admits being obsessed with her!

Another beautiful dog mommy is my dearest friend Martha! We met three years ago when neither of us was a mom yet. I really liked her from the beginning, her personality reminded me of my own mother. Martha is not afraid of saying what is on her mind and most people are not comfortable with that, but I consider it one of her best personality features! I am always amazed of how hard she works. She is always on the go with tons of activities here and there, but somehow she finds time for friends and her baby pug. 

I love spending time with her, laughing at random and silly comments we/people make. The day she told me she was going to adopt Bella I was very excited because I knew that having a dog will bring us close together even more, and it did!

One of our many adventures together!

Yay for dog moms!

Dog moms!

Most (I would say all) of my good friends either have a dog or love dogs. There is something special about dog owners and you can tell a lot from the way they take care of their pups. Of course there are many crazy dog owners out there, like the crazy loud lady at the dog park with about six dogs (all of them loud and rude as her), or those animal hoarders.....well but that is the extreme!

I decided to write about my friends and their pups. Today I'll tell you about Karla and her baby Preciosa.

This is Preciosa (Cinny's new friend)!

This is Karla, the mommy!

I meet Karla through a friend, Martha, but I did not know we had so much in common after a year. I remember talking with her about Cinnamon and she told me about her dog and how she would quietly take a peek when Precious sleeps. We both love arts and crafts, we both are happily married, we grew up outside of the country and we both speak Spanish, oh and we enjoy wine, dancing, camping and snow sports!!!

 For my birthday Karla gave me this beautiful apron!

Karla adores her baby and she makes a pretty dog-mom!

 We had too much wine in this pic!!!
