I have never blogged about my work as a pet photographer before, so I decided after the passing of our 13 yr old Rottweiler Rocky, that I would start putting my thoughts in a blog in memory of him.&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  var _gaq = _gaq || [];&lt;br /&gt;  _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-8024408-6']);&lt;br /&gt;  _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  (function() {&lt;br /&gt;    var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true;&lt;br /&gt;    ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js';&lt;br /&gt;    var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s);&lt;br /&gt;  })();&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Losing a pet can be just as hard as losing a human family member. In fact, they are our family members.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;They give unconditional love &amp;amp; companionship &amp;amp; ask for nothing in return. I have had pets all of my life &amp;amp; can't imagine my life without them. They bring so much joy to our lives &amp;amp; yes sometimes frustration too when they chew a whole in a blanket the size of a Frisbee, chew the cord on the vacuum cleaner or chase the cats all over the house. Some people wonder why they should invest in professional pet portraits.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;Before I became a photographer or even knew anything about photography, I was always photographing my pets with the camera I had &amp;amp; the results were always horrible! I couldn't get the dogs to stay still long enough to get a decent picture &amp;amp; on the rare occasions I did, I had to use a flash &amp;amp; the pet's eyes were always these bright circles of just white light &amp;amp; my pet's natural eye color was no where to be found. Once I became a photographer, I decided that I was going to make sure that I took as many photographs of my pets as I possibly could.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;There has never hardly been a time (especially while my Rocky was alive) that I don't have my camera in my pet's face. They have become used to it &amp;amp; will even pose for me sometimes. It has been almost two months since we said goodbye to our beloved best friend Rocky &amp;amp; I have many BEAUTIFUL photographs to remember him by &amp;amp; they are absolutely priceless!! So my answer to everyone that asks why Pet portraits is think of how much loyalty &amp;amp; companionship your pet brings to you &amp;amp; your family's life &amp;amp; invest in a professional portrait of them so that when it's time for you &amp;amp; your family to tell your precious loved one &amp;amp; family member goodbye, you will have the most valuable possession that is work millions in your heart!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_H0UdbdZQGTk/TC0A6QuZB_I/AAAAAAAAABY/HKYzIi6mc7s/s1600/Queen+Lily+3.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5489044521756461042" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 214px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_H0UdbdZQGTk/TC0A6QuZB_I/AAAAAAAAABY/HKYzIi6mc7s/s320/Queen+Lily+3.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_H0UdbdZQGTk/TC0A6OVZEwI/AAAAAAAAABQ/s_NtNO1zQpI/s1600/Peabodycopy2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5489044521114735362" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 214px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_H0UdbdZQGTk/TC0A6OVZEwI/AAAAAAAAABQ/s_NtNO1zQpI/s320/Peabodycopy2.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_H0UdbdZQGTk/TC0A5U7HUjI/AAAAAAAAABI/K3wkmAM23Ns/s1600/Gus+Bus+3.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5489044505703698994" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_H0UdbdZQGTk/TC0A5U7HUjI/AAAAAAAAABI/K3wkmAM23Ns/s320/Gus+Bus+3.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_H0UdbdZQGTk/TC0A5OVuTdI/AAAAAAAAABA/pNsBqO_SYBM/s1600/Daisy+%26+Bella+2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5489044503936257490" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_H0UdbdZQGTk/TC0A5OVuTdI/AAAAAAAAABA/pNsBqO_SYBM/s320/Daisy+%26+Bella+2.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_H0UdbdZQGTk/TC0A46uQq3I/AAAAAAAAAA4/VSdLnNy6MvU/s1600/Annie+8.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5489044498670463858" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 214px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_H0UdbdZQGTk/TC0A46uQq3I/AAAAAAAAAA4/VSdLnNy6MvU/s320/Annie+8.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  var _gaq = _gaq || [];&lt;br /&gt;  _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-8024408-5']);&lt;br /&gt;  _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  (function() {&lt;br /&gt;    var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true;&lt;br /&gt;    ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ?
