The Cameron family grew by one this past weekend. Meet our new pup Layla! I first met Layla at the SPCA of Texas and instantly fell in love with her. She was petrified – extremely scared of people and suffering in the shelter environment. We are guessing that she was running with a pack of strays because she is perfectly comfortable around other dogs, it’s just people that make her nervous – very nervous. I spent a couple of hours with her at the SPCA trying to get her to warm up to me, and hopefully others. But I ended up falling in love with her and just two days later she was here in our home. Layla is such a sweet girl but still painfully shy – we are working on it and she is getting more comfortable with us every minute. She is already best friends with her big brother Willie!

We have no idea what type of breeds are in Layla, but we plan on asking our vet. Any guesses?

Now here is where I need your help. We kept Layla’s name from the SPCA, we felt like it really did fit her shy demeanor. But we are stuck on her middle name. Yes, all dogs need a middle name. Willie’s full name is Wilson Lincoln Kolle Cameron (seriously). We just can’t seem to find the right fit for Layla. So I am asking you guys… What should Layla Cameron’s middle name be??

I think this last photo might be my favorite, as far as Layla’s first day at our home, this pretty much says it all. Such a sweet girl! By the way – I realize that all of these photos are in the same spot, that’s because for some reason she decided the back door floor matt was her safe spot for the day… Many many more photos to come, that is once she’s ready

1. Must have a sense of humor (can you do that with your tongue?) and a heart that melts at that puppy face.

2. Must have a white couch…      and 3. Must have a very, very tall fence!

These little love bugs at the SPCA of Texas need a home. The kitty above is Miranda, she’s a little shy – but very sweet. I actually had my camera on the wrong setting when I snapped this photo, but I love how it turned out. Below is Boomer and he has the best ears I’ve ever seen on a dog! The first photo is “normal” boomer, ready for his glamour shot. In the second photo I made a noise and his ears went wild – straight out into the air. I about lost it which made Boomer very excited. He is only two years old and needs a loving home that will take care of him and get him a little exercise (but don’t tell him that)

There are tons of lovable animals at the SPCA of Texas who are in need of a home – Adopt a Shelter Dog or Cat and be loved for life!

And don’t forget about the cats – they smile with their tails!

This little guy looooovvvvveeed his tennis ball, it is too big for him to carry it around in his mouth so he runs around holding it by the fuzz. See the fuzz on his chin!

This little puppy’s name is Jenson, can you believe those ears, and the one blue eye! And the love bug on the right was all smiles – too funny!

Dog?? Horse?? Dog?? Love it!!

Meet Marly and Pogo

Cleo – just couldn’t resist this photo of the way she was sitting! And Lancelot (who has the softest ears ever!)

Cleo & Pogo – or should I say super dog!

Snookie & Milo

Meet Eva and Abbey! These two sister’s are from the same house and are too sweet. Eva is more of a goofball, while Abbey just watched us run around. I like how they both look like they are wearing eye-liner!

On the left is JoJo, she is an Australian Kelpie mix, which means she is super smart. And Germany, a shepherd mix, on the right just wanted to run circles around me!

This St. Bernard is just a huge love-bug, ready for hugs and big, BIG kisses. I just couldn’t believe these little legs were holding him up!

And last but certainly not least is this little girl – she was hysterical! First she was a little unsure about my camera, but once she realized it wasn’t going to hurt her she started hamming it up big time. I spent a little extra time with her because (1) she kept making me laugh, and (2) I think she needed some extra play time!

Just too much fun, I love my job as a pet photographer! Dogs are always happy and have so much love to give it is just amazing. Everyone needs a love-bug of their own Adopt a dog today!

Jake says “SAY CHEESE!!!” What a handsome guy!

Jazzie is a young sweet  girl who’s been at the SPCA waiting for home over a month now – that makes her a VIP (very important pet)!!

This silly guy is Snuggles – he was so excited to see me and have his photo taken!

Meet Piper, she’s a sweet girl. Very big – but very gentle

Little Sally wanted to be on top of my feet the entire time. Ready for a pat on the head.

Beautiful Tara has just about the softest fur I’ve ever felt. Her ears actually stand straight up – but when she smiles super big they go down.

Moly on the left and Butch on the right both have a lot of Lab in them. Who could ever resist these smiles?

This beautiful white cat had me giggling the entire morning. I’ve never seen a cat this cross-eyed. Pretty endearing!

This sweet girl is Rosie and she has the best eyes – beautiful brown eyes! 

Meet Sinbad – who’s name should be flash! He didn’t sit still for a minute. But he was darn cute running around.

Now if you are looking for a more unusual pup you’ve found her. This is Miss Brindie. Funny run, great teeth, and even a speckled tongue – my kind of dog!!

Miss Brindie and Sinbad were so excited to be next to each other – I’m sure they slept the entire afternoon away after all that running.

Holy cuteness batman! Meet Willie Nelson, enjoying the breeze, and Milly, being adorable!

And last but not least is Scout. My heart melted for this girl – she is 12 years old and looking for a place to call home. Sweet, loving and well behaved – a dream doggie!

As always – these pups are looking for a place to call home, and are available for adoption form the SPCA of Texas. I am so happy that I can use my passion of pet photography to find these loving animals some great parents!
