Finally, we got our first real snow this winter.  While I was shoveling the sidewalk Denali was running in circles catching snowflakes in his mouth.  When he decided to stop for a moment, I yelled his name and he looked my way…  Enjoy!

One of Denali’s favorite spots in the Jeep, is the back seat. He has grown up on the road and accompanied me on many photo assignments. Recently, we traveled to Put In Bay, for an assignment and Denali was enjoying himself in his regular spot.

Little Jorryn is only 3 and she is madly in love with Denali.  Yesterday, Denali and I hung out with my friend and her two little girls. Jorryn, the littlest one, always pampers Denali and follows his every step.

From sharing her food to horseback rides the two are inseparable. My goal is to take a nice studio shot of the two of them. I ‘m not sure if that will ever happen. But, for know I have this one.

Brad and his sister Pam, owners of Three Dog Bakery, in Plymouth Michigan hang out with Denali after his  first in store appearance. Denali had an excellent time and greeted many fans. The bakery is full of fresh pastries with natural ingredients.  Since,  Denali is part ITALIAN, he ate a good portion of fresh doggie canoli.  He even asked for some expresso but, I told him maybe later.

All of Denali’s cards sales today, went to the Michigan Humane Society.  Denali and I will be back in November to sell Christmas cards.  I will keep you posted on our next visit.

YEs…  they certainly do.  Denali shows off his golden smile while relaxing from chasing the tennis ball today in the backyard.  

We got lost yesterday in Maryland and ended up riding The Oxford Bellevue Ferry on the Chesapeake Bay. A very nice couple from Virginia held Denali’s leash while I took his photo.

Once arriving on land we came upon a little town named St Michaels and found a nice shop called Flying Fred’s where Denali’s cards will soon be sold.

After chasing a few people while running the Rocky steps with me at the Philadelphia Art Museum, Denali takes a moment to catch his breath.

In the movie when Rocky reached the top,  he lifted his dog Punchy.  I suggested the idea to Denali for a photo but, he wanted to keep it simple.

After a quick sniff, Denali decided today to pose next to the Naked Cowboy.

This was Denali’s first on foot adventure to Times Square but, not his first time to New York City. Besides dodging tons of yellow taxis we had a marvelous time in the city.

Thank you Naked Cowboy!

Denali came into my life when I lived in Pennsylvania. Monthly, we would pack the Jeep with a camera and a good pair of hiking boots to hit the trails at Ricketts Glen State Park in Benton, PA.

The park is just BEAUTIFUL… Full of waterfalls and some awesome trails.

Four year later after leaving Pa., Denali and I are on a little road trip back to the area and he suggested we make Ricketts our first stop.

As soon as we pulled into the park, we went for a hike, then he decided it was time to hit the water.

Today was time to enjoy the summer and show our readers how Denali can become an island dog. 

The keys to a successful photo shoot with Denali:

 • Hawaiian tunes

• Plenty of dog treats (specifically something meaty)

• A cool costume from your collection of unused clothes

• Shades that keep the flash out of his eyes

• A red boa that shows off his golden locks
