Order Your 2014 Dog Calendar Here!

Atlanta's temperatures are surprisingly cool for this time of year, but here on my blog the CAREing Paws Fundraiser Thermometer is heating up!

Our goal is to raise $2500 for Georgia animal therapy group CAREing Paws and we're using the 2014 Dog Calendar to do it!  Each calendar sold earns $5 for CAREing Paws - keep track of our progress on the thermometer at the top right of this blog.  Come on folks - help us help this group of wonderful people serve those in need in our community!

Here's how you can do it:  click on the link below to order your calendar.  At the end of each month I'll place a bulk order for all the calendars ordered in that month and ship yours to you the following month.

Calendars make great gifts and yes, it's coming up on that time of year - it'll be here before you know it!

SORRY, THE 2014 DOG CALENDAR IS NO LONGER FOR SALE.

The calendar costs $19.95 + Tax (GA State: 7%), Shipping & Handling.  Thanks for your help in supporting these 'Four-Footers'.

   

2014 Dog Calendar - The Finalists!

At last, the long-awaited results from last week's 2014 Dog Calendar vote!  The finalists are (in no particular order):

Annie

Bogee

Tebow

Hollis

Raven

Lincoln

Wilbur

Bear

Tara

Cowboy

Bingo

Phoenix

Felix the Cat

But wait, you're thinking; that's 13!  And you'd be right.  Felix the Cat was in the top five, but it's a dog calendar!  So he gets an honorary mention in the calendar for being so bold.

Here's a preview of the calendar lineup:

And here's a link to the video in case you missed it, because I had so much fun photographing these pooches (and cat) and producing the video.  It's been a blast, folks and we might just have to do this again next year for a 2015 Dog Calendar!

2014 Dog Calendar - Thank You!

Thanks so much to all who were involved in this event; from the candidates and their humans to the seemingly endless group of voters, and especially my ever-supportive husband, Steve.  It's been a fantastic couple of months!  And some die-hard voters were still at it last night at midnight, when the poll closed.  You're a great bunch of people and you made this project a lot of fun.

Now it's time to shake it off (I know more than one of you had a less-than-productive day on Friday!), sit back and relax.  Monday will roll around before you know it - doesn't it always, relentless and sometimes unforgiving? - and I'll publish the finalists.

Until then, enjoy the rest of the weekend and have a blessed Sabbath day. 

2014 Dog Calendar - Vote Here! | Pet Photographer

It's time to vote at last!  Over the past two months I've photographed 19 dogs and 1 cat from all over Georgia - ranging from Dahlonega in the north to Warner Robbins in the south.

I've heard all sorts of stories about these four-footers, both heartbreaking and delightful.  But no matter their beginnings, there's one thing they all have in common: they're now loved by some of the most wonderful people in Georgia.

As much as I'd like to put all of these guys in the calendar, there can only be twelve.  And because it's such a tough decision, I'm asking you out there to help me choose!  Starting Monday, 29 July and running through Friday, 2 August the polls will be open for your vote.

Those who are selected for the calendar will win a free copy for their human friends.  And yes, the calendars will be available for purchase, with $5 from each sale going to CAREing Paws; Georgia's own non-profit animal therapy group.

It's up to you how you do it - vote for as many as you like, as often as you like!  Just remember that the poll closes at 11:59pm EDT on Friday.  Thumbnails for each pet are shown below, or you can see them larger in the gallery on my Facebook page by clicking HERE.  And there's a video slideshow of all the candidates plus some bonus images, which you can watch HERE.

Android & iPhone Users:  It's been brought to my attention that you're unable to see the voting form.  Click HERE to visit a page on my website where you can vote.  Thanks for playing!

Poll open: Mon-Fri, 29 July - 2 August, 2013
Happy Voting!

2014 Dog Calendar - The Candidates

Many of you have been following the model search on my Facebook page as it's been happening over the past two months.  It's been a huge amount of fun and I've met some of the nicest people in Georgia.

It's proving to be a tough job to choose which dogs to include in my 2014 Dog Calendar, so I'm enlisting you to help me choose the final twelve.  Voting starts this coming Monday, 29 July and runs through Friday, 2 August.  You may vote as often as you like, for as many dogs as you like!

In the meantime, here's a quick review of all the dogs (plus one cat!) who are vying for their page in the calendar.  Thanks so much to all who participated - it was lovely meeting you and your furry friends!

2014 Dog Calendar - Model Shoots

Just like the little guy in the photos above, we've been looking here, there and everywhere for dogs to grace our 2014 Dog Calendar.  And I've been having a hugely fun time meeting these dogs and their owners.

Since the start of June, four-footed laddies and lassies from as far north as Dahlonega to as far south as Warner Robbins have been posing for my camera.  So far there are 12, but there are more to come.  Soooo... what do I do with so many models?  Only 12 can make it into the calendar.

I'm throwing it out to you to help me decide which pups will be in next year's calendar.  The last shoot will take place on Saturday, 27 July and after that I'm going to open up a poll on this blog.  But you'll have to be quick - it's only going to be open for three days!

UPDATE: THE POLL WILL BE OPEN ALL NEXT WEEK - Monday to Friday!

Watch this space to vote: Mon-Fri, 29 July - 2 August 2013.
