Jasper – Like a Cat in a Pet Store

It’s not often I get to go on a photoshoot and do some shopping simultaneously but last week at the Stonestown Pet Food Express I did just that. Jasper, the store cat, was set to go for his My Mutt photo session. I’d seen Jasper before because I shop at the Stonestown store all the time but this was an entirely new experience. Let me know which shot you like for the poster.

I am Jasper

I'm looking for catnip...a nice '99 or '97 would be fine

I told you, no way I'll do a product shot

Shoplifters beware, Jasper's on the job

Warning…major, major cute puppy alert here. You’d think that when you’re around puppies a lot eventually the awwww-factor would diminish. Actually, it goes the other way. Last Friday was no exception when I was introduced to Jasper, an adorable muttly mix recently rescued through Rocket Dog. Jasper’s mom, Katherine Taylor, is a BodyTalk practitioner in San Francisco specializing in energy medicine for pets and people. I’ll tell you what: She’s got a whole lot of energy on her hands with young Jasper who had a sandy blast down on Ocean Beach for his very first professional photo shoot. Check him out..

There’s nothing quite like Fort Funston and Ocean Beach on a fall afternoon here in San Francisco — the light is that perfect California gold and it’s still warm enough for you to hit the beach without a jacket. I met Jasper, Mabel and their mom down there last Thursday for a donated session they bid on at a recent animal welfare fundraiser. Jasper’s a spry aussie shepherd mix and Mabel’s a pitbull mix. Both of them love to play — Mabel’s a ball girl while Jasper prefers frisbees. We had a great time and got some really cool shots of them at play. We also got what may be my single favorite Smiling Dog shot of the year — a classic pitbull grin.
