Foal Fever

We have another foal to drool over at Tar Farms, thanks to Mike Haack. And he's a beauty! A real poser and an awesome mover! If you haven't seen him, you must stop by! Check out the recent photos of him here! Tar Farms Foal Pics

Black Diamond Playday is a Hit!

Woo Wee, What a Show! The western gals put on a mock competition at Tar Farms on Wednesday, May 16th. For those of you who missed it, let's hope they put on another one in the near future! It was great to see our very own Black Diamond Reiners compete on our own home turf! Erlinda Sullivan organized the event, reserving the western arena for the day, bringing in a judge, having western music playing in the background, providing a PA system to announce the participants, prizes for the top finishers, and lunch for everyone afterwards. Who says these gals don't go all out?!

Check out their photos here... Black Diamond Playday Photos

They're a very talented group. We're lucky and proud to have such a great group of gals at our barn, Tar Farms in San Juan Capistrano. Way to go ladies!!! We're looking forward to the next Playday already!!!

A "Picture Perfect" Day!

Thank you to all the Western University 2007 DVM Graduates who participated in last Wednesday's pet sitting event! It was an honor to spend the day with all of you and your wonderful companions! What a treat to have met each and every one of you, and to know that all of our equines and pets have such a terrific group of new veterinarians to help take care of our furry friends in the future!

A special thank you to Donna, my assistant for the day! As I'm going through all of the photos right now, I see a lot of happy faces, thanks to you in getting everyone to smile! Thank you so much for all of your help and your enthusiasm! Roxy and Keeper are 2 of the luckiest dogs I know:-)

Thank you Kathleen, for managing to schedule everyone, and recruiting Donna!

And thank you to Merial! What a privilege and what fun!!! I hope to be invited back to do the same for the 2008 class!

Hang tight...all of the photos will be up by tomorrow morning!

WU DVM Shooting Location

Ok everyone! We'll be shooting in the park between your building and the Banfield building on Wednesday. Hopefully, this will make it convenient for everybody! I'll be giving a packet to each one of you after your session with instructions in it as to where to go to view your photos! They should be online and ready to view no later than May 14th, Monday morning!

Remember to bring your completed forms with you. I'll have extras on hand for anyone who forgets. If so, be sure to allow time to fill it out before your scheduled session so we can spend the entire time shooting.

Looks like it's going to be a hot and sunny day! We'll try to keep all of you out of the direct sun to keep everyone cool and happy, to bring out those big smiles!

Any questions, feel free to email of call me at (949) 257-6246 before Wednesday!

See you all then!

Summer is almost here!

Which means...it's graduation time! Thanks to Julie Ryan Johnson, DVM, I'll be taking photos next Wednesday of 52 newly graduated DVM's from Western University in Pomona, compliments of Merial (world leading animal health company)! Julie arranged for Merial to gift each of the graduates with a photo sitting with their pets, on campus, wearing their newly received White Coats. We'll be shooting from 8am to 6pm! Congratulations to all of you in advance!!!

I can hardly wait to meet all of the grads and their companions and to see what they consist of...I'm sure we'll see lots of cats and dogs, maybe some reptiles too??? Also, a big thank you to Kathleen Johnson for helping out and somehow managing to schedule everyone and recruit her neighbor, Donna, to assist us in getting the pet's attention while we shoot! Kathleen, you're a gem. I'm looking forward to being able to meet you and Donna, and thank you both in person soon!

I'll be heading up to Pomona tomorrow to scout the college grounds and pick a place out for us to meet. If anyone has any favorite spots on campus that you think would provide the perfect background, let me know!

Stay tuned...
