We had a great time yesterday at Top Dog Barkery in Newport Beach with a whole lot of dogs coming in their holiday finest for their photo shoot.

We had Bandit, Gracie, Ellie, Fritz, Piper, Gabby, Monster and the two blind and deaf dogs, Olive and Muffin. I single out Olive and Muffin because they sure played a mean pinball. I jest. Extra points if you get the reference!

The pet parents of our intrepid subjects receive a metal ornament and 5x7 digital file to make their own Christmas cards. Fun!

This is our second event with Top Dog Barkery and we sure do love the place. Owner Karen and her staff have a huge selection of baked goods they make right on the premises. They have a lot of wheat-free selections and all of them have cute names. They say that's how they keep themselves entertained... coming up with creative names for their products. I was impressed with how well everything is decorated, from the cookies to the pup pies. They make cakes for doggy events. The frosting on the cookies is made of yogurt. And no sugar!

We hope to have more events in 2015 with Top Dog Barkery but meanwhile, you can visit them at 924 Avocado Ave. in Newport Beach. Here is a sampling of yesterday's shoot. And oh by the way, if you want your own custom pet photo shoot, either in Los Angeles, Orange or Ventura counties, give me a call at 818.481.5214 and I'll set you up!
