Denali & Trixie | Chandra (Update: Adopted)

When we started volunteering at the shelter, we all thought that Chloe would be making videos of the dogs. Well, it's turned out that she absolutely loves assisting Shannon Skalisky with taking photos instead. She gets to hang out inside (our girl is not outdoorsy to put it kindly) and most importantly, gets to meet and hug all the dogs. I think the picture part of it is the bonus.

I strongly believe that videos can help get these dogs adopted...there is something about seeing them move that lets them into your heart. Ron and I are trading off taking video of the dogs we walk, which means that he and I are going to be in the videos most of the time unless we can figure out an alternative. So please excuse our walking dog clothes and lack of variety! I do love editing the footage and getting to piece in Shannon's beautiful pictures. Then there is that moment at the end when I drop the song over the whole thing and it just comes to life. I love that moment.

I hope you do too.

Today, we met Denali and Trixie. Now it's your turn.

 The dogs say thank you and so do I.
