All galleries are organized by dog/handler.

Weather is starting to show up on the app for the trial in a couple weeks and it's looking good! There's just a few more days to sign up. Get those entries in!!

Also coming up on my agenda: the USDAA trial at Sherburne Park in Walworth, NY the weekend of September 20-21. This is an outside trial so pray for good weather (good weather means not 90 degrees and preferably overcast with no rain lol).

I've been to this trial for the past two years and will be returning again this year. This tends to be a small trial and is in a beautiful park. As always, I'll be offering quickie portaits between classes and at the conclusion of each day for anyone interested. Bring your seniors, bring your puppies, bring your friend's dogs!

I'm excited to be back again this year.

What's coming up next for me? Lots of FastCAT fun!

August 22-24 finds me out in the Buffalo area again for an amazing three-day FastCAT trial hosted by the Kennel Club of Buffalo. It should be a few amazing days! Entries are still be accepted until August 13, so there's time to get your entries in!

September 6-7 finds me back down in Trout Run, PA for the Bald Eagle Kennel Club's FastCAT trial. Their first one was run so well and the area is just gorgeous. Great folks! Come on down and play! Entries are open!

October 4-5 finds me back in the Syracuse area for the Onondaga Kennel Association's trial in Chapman Park. They had their first last year and it went so well. Entries are open for this as well! Ben and Lea will be there of course and Ben should get his DCAT title!

You can find info and the premiums right on my page here: https://www.thespottedtongue.com/upcoming-events

There's something extra special about taking your senior dogs out to play, isn't there? Last weekend I took Ben out to play some lure coursing for fun. The last time he attempted this, he wasn't interested at all and goofily chased his sister around the course. Now, after having several FastCAT runs under his belt, he was awesome (even if he did stop for a p*e break on the first one lol).

I love our senior dogs. Come share your favorite photos and stories abour your seniors or are still out there rocking it in agility, FastCAT, dock diving, whatever! If they're still living their best lives out there doing their favorite things, I want to know all about it!

Hi all. I have made an update to how you order all photos of a dog (or multiple dogs) from a single event. This is partially because there is a bit of a loophole in how it works that I just became aware of. But also this will make it easier for when you have gift certificates or other discount codes.

The new method DOES mean that there will be a small delay in getting access to all the photos as I will have to send them to you manually. But I promise to be really quick about it when you order one!

You can see how to order one of these packages here: https://www.thespottedtongue.com/all-photos

To make it all more palatable, for the next week you can get 10% off one of these packages. Enter 10NEW at checkout!

If you have any trouble PLEASE let me know!

‼️‼️ PHOTOS ARE READY! ‼️‼️

Photos from the SOTC July AKC Agility trial are now live on the site!

A few things to note:

1. Event prices are linked on the website. If you have questions, feel free to reach out! Note that I offer discounts for multiple dogs, and also for photos of a dog who achieved their championship title (MACH, PACH, etc.) All of that info is on the event pricing page.

A reminder that buying ALL LARGE PHOTOS of your dog will get you a free collage (see previous post). This is true for discounted ones as well. If your dog achieved their championship title, I will happily add that to the collage.

2. If you find other dogs in your folder, please reach out and let me know! I have to manually move them all into their folders and mistakes happen.

3. I do offer fully post-processed photos at a higher price point (see the event pricing for info). This includes all the basics adjustments, but also can include removing distractions and potentially people depending on where they are in the photo. Any questions or issues, feel free to message me here or e-mail me at [email protected]

Thank you again to the crew at SOTC for a fabulously run trial!

The photos are just about ready. But while I'm finishing getting things set, I want to introduce you to something new I'm offering!

Buy all of the large size photos of your dog and get a free digital collage. This is a basic collage where I pick out the photos and make the collage for you. It will include your dog's name and the event. Here's an example featuring my best boy, Ben. There was no "event" here so they're just random photos from training at SOTC.

Want a collage where you pick out the photos, the colors, the collage? See my event pricing page for info!

Good news! All photos are now sorted and I've started the uploading process. It always takes a few hours to upload all of the photos and organize things on the site, so expect another update post later this morning or early afternoon.

Today's sneak p*ek is a tribute to the novice dogs. It's so hard to step to the line for the first times with a new dog (and doubly so if this is your first dog!). I'm so proud of all these teams for getting out there with their best dogs!

Day 2 is now completed and sorted into their proper folders! I'm currently working on editing day 3 (about halfway there at this point). I'm hoping to have those done (or at least mostly done) by this evening so tomorrow I can upload everything to the website.

A little sneak p*ek of Saturday's fun!
