TWO LOCATIONS
Touched By a Dog Photography session at the beautiful High Country Orchard in Green Bluff. Tilli, an almost 15-yearold Golden Retriever. Lucy, a 15-yearold dog of mixed origins. And, Riley, a 12-year-old Sheltie. Tilli had a stroke more than a year ago and needs assistance walking with the help of a special harness and her mom, Valorie’s, capable hands. She settled in comfortably with her stuffed sheep for company. Valorie says that Tilli, who is exceptionally well behaved and the gentlest soul she’s ever met, has definitive opinions about how things should be and is absolutely in charge of everyone around her. She’s rarely pushy and always gentle yet somehow all humans end up doing her bidding. Lucy does not look or act like 15 at all. Her mom mentioned that Lucy absolutely refuses to play with little dog toys and insists on having or doing whatever her golden retriever siblings have or are doing. This often means she is proudly dragging around a Kong that is nearly as big as her head or delightedly wrestling with a stuffed animal twice her size. Both have sweet expressions that we wanted to capture for Valorie to treasure. Riley is a bit timid when his mom, Theresa, steps away from his side. They are close and it was important to catch their interaction together. Riley’s eyes light up when he catches Theresa’s glance. She says that her favorite thing about Riley is when he comes to wake her up every morning with kisses and playfulness. The favored images from the Orchard sessions will soon be put into archival print. Then, both dog moms will have lasting visual reminders of their furry friends who bring them so much joy. It is beautiful proof that these wonderful companions have enriched lives, given selflessly and loved unconditionally. touchedbyadog.com
