When Angela contacted me a few weeks back and told me about Zeus and Sigmund and how they were cat and dog but best friends, I got super excited. As you’ve no doubt been able to tell, I’m a cat girl. I love LOVE dogs and really enjoy working with them because they definitely have a bit more overall pizzazz than cats do, but to shoot a dog and a cat together? A little bit of heaven 🙂

Angela had such great stories to tell me about Sigmund and Zeus which is 1/2 the fun of pet sessions! When I got there Sigmund was definitely in explore mode. He was a smidge unsure of the camera but it didn’t take long for him to figure out it was pretty harmless. He did, however, spare no expense when trying to run out of the backyard. As it turns out, his favorite favorite spot is the neighbor’s front porch. Doesn’t matter who the neighbors are, but that porch is his domain.

He definitely looks like a hunter!!

And then there is Zeus! He really enjoyed the game “sit.stay.eat treat” and quickly figured that one out. He is a definite mama’s boy and such a sweetie. He loves fetch and even has a set route through the yard – more or less, regardless of where the stick or frisbee might end up. {I’m still impressed your peonies are hanging in there!}

I’ll be honest, when Angela said that the boys were best friends, I did have visions of them falling a sleep in a pile of adorableness in the backyard on a dog bed. That wasn’t even CLOSE to happening since Sig was distracted by the gate and Zeus was just excited. Maybe next time 🙂 Later that evening Angela said they crashed on the couch together so there is proof that they cuddle. Now I just need to be in the right place at the right time!

Thanks guys!! You’re boys are fantastic 🙂
