K9 Kindness Rescue Doggy Wash and Karnival 2010

Everyone that wondered what to do with their dirty dog came to today's K9 Kindness Rescue Doggy Wash and Karnival 2010 that was held at the Moline PetCo. Volunteers helped to wash dogs of all sizes. we had lots of vendors including AAVENGE and the Brown Dog Foundation. Barks and Beaks was there along with Blue Buffalo Pet Foods. Red Hot Tony Tone from B100 was there to entertain the huge crowd.

Here are a few of the dogs I photographed. The rest of the photoshoot can be seen at my Photo Gallery.

First up is Bentley, a very young Pitbull puppy. We tried and tried to get Bentley to pose, but he was full of energy and just wanted to play. Then just for a moment Bentley was attracted to two other Pitbulls and I quickly got this shot!

This is Cassie, a too cute mini Australian Shepherd. Gotta love those eyes.



Awwwww, this little one was new to his family who named him Cordell. He's a Chiorkie.



One of the many bathers.



Pug Wash!



These are sisters Sheeba and Dolly, who were the sweetest Labrador and Pitbull mix pups.




One of the many problems of a pet photographer is that you can never seem to get all the dogs' ears up at the same time.


First we get Curly's ears up....



And then we get Archimedes' ears up....



My only choice was to combine the best photos of each of these cute Rat Terriers in my digital darkroom to get this photo.....



Then I had to add bubbles.....!



Thanks to all who joined us today!
