Smile Like a Dog

Chihuahuas Everywhere!!!!

Posted on 07. Apr, 2008 by Mark Rogers.

Yesterday I had the pleasure of attending the San Francisco Chihuahua meetup at Stern Grove – Pine Lake Park. This is not to be confused with the venerable Chihuahua Cha Cha that’s still held up at Corona Heights but, boy, this is one well-attended event. There were easily 75 small dogs there along with their [...]

Spring at St Mary’s Dog Park

Posted on 05. Apr, 2008 by Mark Rogers.

Now that the rainy season is truly behind us one of my favorite dog parks in the city is open again (actually, it’s been open for a few weeks but I didn’t get chance to go down there again until yesterday). St Mary’s is one of those great little secrets in San Francisco. Technically it’s [...]

In the Cards

Posted on 02. Apr, 2008 by Mark Rogers.

Excellent news from Mark Rogers Photography land: a number of my favorite photos are being featured in a new line of greeting cards called Sincerely Fido. It’s a pretty cool concept the cards are written from pets’ perspective either to other pets or to human companions. The cards range from just plain funny to really [...]

I had a shoot last week with a great dog named Chance. He’s a Rhodesian Ridgback mix who lives with his dad in the aptly named Dogpatch neighborhood of San Francisco. Chance is a rescue dog from the Milo foundation and boy did he land in a great home.
Chance loves his toys but is fairly [...]

Bucky

Sammy Darby Jr

Posted on 13. Mar, 2008 by Mark Rogers.

I recently completed my second assignment for Pet Food Express’s My Mutt Program. This time the star was a tiny little guy named Sammy Darby Jr. He’s an 8-year old dachshund whose new owners adopted him from Rocket Dog Rescue. His name was orginally just Darby but when his new parents discovered he only had [...]

Look for my photos soon in a Pet Food Express near you.
Anyone who’s shopped or walked by any of the Pet Food Express Stores in the Bay area has seen the My Mutt posters they have hanging in the shop and in the windows. They’re of dogs and cats adopted from various rescue groups. Owners [...]

Last week I attended my 3rd Homeless Connect event at Bill Graham Civic Auditorium. I have to say that it’s still amazing to me how smoothly these things go. Over 2500 clients came through this time and the thing just runs like clockwork. For this PHC I focused on the outdoor services – primarily the [...]

Pigs and Hotdogs

Posted on 29. Feb, 2008 by Mark Rogers.

So, today I’m culling through old shots for decent pictures of dachshunds to use in a project I’m working on when lo and behold I get a notice in my blog reader about a recent dachshund mom that’s adopted a piglet. Is it possible to come up with something more adorable than that. Well, I’ve [...]

That’s Just Wacky

Posted on 24. Feb, 2008 by Mark Rogers.

I love my dog! I can’t tell you how many times a day I look over at him and just start laughing. Today he decided the Oscars were drawing too much attention away from him and put on his own show while we tried to keep watching the show on TV. Guess who won? You [...]

Our Dog in Cairo

Posted on 20. Feb, 2008 by Mark Rogers.

I recently returned from a trip to Egypt and Jordan. I of course took a lot of photos and even managed to squeeze in a few shots of the local canines and other fauna in between ancient the ones of four thousand-year old monuments and epic landscapes.

In some cases the scenery and the animals tended [...]
