A huge and heartfelt thanks to the MAGDRL volunteers who gave me the gift of a lifetime...

Panda, Tonka and I scheduled a photo shoot in March 2004 with Susan Dodd of CoolPets (www.coolpets.us). We used Linda's back yard (Thanks much, Linda!) and got some great shots of my pups and few of each of us together. My pups are getting older (Panda was 7 in June 2005 and Tonka was 6 in Dec 2004) and I really wanted something I could remember them by for a long time. Susan's photos are B&W and and Septia, and her delivery is in a thick book form (like the Goodnight Moon books for kids) or other really interesting media. So not only do I get quality photos but the presentation is awesome as well. Susan was patient and gentle with the dogs, and also with my clumsy self. And the outcome was FABULOUS! I highly recommend her to anyone considering photos of their dogs.

Also, I will never forget, and will always treasure the very thoughtful and wonderful friends who made this possible for us. Great Dane Rescue volunteers I've worked with in and out of state were so generous. This was, by far, the best gift I've ever received. Ever. Thank you all so very much.
