"In order to really enjoy a dog, one doesn’t merely try to train him to be semi-human. The point of it is to open oneself to the possibility of becoming partly a dog."

~ Edward Hoagland (b. 1932) U.S. novelist & essayist

In August of 2014 Bodhi starred in his second Stainmaster commercial featuring their pet beds. It was fun getting to work with Stainmaster again!








December, 2013.  Kygen, the company that makes Plush Puppies dog toys, purchased some of Karen's photos of Bodhi for use in their advertising!  




  Bodhi is chosen as cover dog for the September issue of Dogs Naturally Magazine!  Karen took the photo while vacationing in Cape San Blas, Florida.    




Bodhi on set of another Shaw Carpet/HGTV photo shoot in Jacksonville, Florida!  The cast and crew doted on him and he even received a round of applause at the end of the shoot!




Summer of 2013 Bodhi is featured in a brochure for Merial products.





Bodhi hard at work for a Shaw Carpet photo shoot!  Good job, Bodhi!  It's a tough life but someone has to do the hard work around here! 





December 2012. Melissa and Karen did a photo shoot with a variety of animals for “Nature”.  “Nature” is a post consumer use bedding and litter supplier for animals.

The animals in the shots were cats, a ferret, a guinea pig, rabbit, hamster, and a Mckaw. A special thanks to all of those who helped us round up these various animals and to Belle Isle Animal Hospital for letting us borrow the infamous ‘Duncan’.
