I had the pleasure of taking Riley’s photos along with his best buddy Nora…
RILEY
- Favorite Food: anything, especially if it’s stolen
- Pet Peeve: paw grooming
- Favorite Pastime: chasing and running up the hall with Nora
- Naughtiest Deed: eating all my garden tomatoes while they were green
- Obsession: being the perfect watch dog
- Favorite Toy: squeaky squirrels squeaky toys
Riley was rescued by Beth seven years ago – he was found as a puppy running aimlessly on the highway. Fortunately some co-workers brought him in and Beth eventually adopted him. Riley is super sweet and has gorgeous markings for a English Springer Spaniel. He, like Simon, helped Beth through some tough times – animals are very healing creatures!
Riley was really camera shy – as soon as I would bring the camera up to my face he would move away. So I started shooting off to the side and hoping that I would get some good shots. It’s very intimidating for most dogs/cats to be photograph – especially when the camera covers your entire face and they can’t see your eyes. It’s going to be important for me to trust my camera off the hip!
