Biscuit visits Santa!
We took Biscuit to the Harbor this week to visit Santa for the first time! Fortunately, this Santa also takes requests from furry family members! Biscuit was such a good boy and he loved walking to the Harbor – so many new smells! (Biscuit’s endurance is improving as he is able to walk a bit further than when we first met Biscuit). Biscuit pranced as he walked – he is always up for a new adventure. Biscuit even let me put on his tartan antlers while visiting Santa! He is such a good boy!
On a positive note, we found out this week from the vet that Biscuit does not have thyroid disease. As a result, we will continue to do his senior blood work every three months to monitor all of his levels closely.
Happy Friday!
Website – Katherine Carver Photography
I have spent the past six months or so creating and working on my website for Katherine Carver Photography. I have never created a website before; however, the people at Livebooks have helped me to create a simple and clean-looking website keeping the focus on each image. Also, Sharon Bruno helped me to create my logo that appears on my website (and this blog). It has definitely been a long process and I have learned a lot along the way, and I hope to continue to learn.
Deborah Samuel, fine art photographer and author of Dog and Pup, has been very helpful to me in providing me with feedback on my work and website. Deborah has been very generous with her time, and I am most grateful.
I have spent quite a bit of time editing, creating, and working on each individual image, and I believe that my portfolios are taking shape and my website is coming together. Photography is not static; I hope to continue to grow and create thought provoking images and see where it leads.

Recently we took Biscuit with us to visit the Sheltie Haven Sheltie Rescue, Inc. This is the rescue organization where we adopted Biscuit. We have never been surrounded by so many sheltie friends!
Biscuit had a good time — once he knew that he was going home with us. Below are a few photographs of some very handsome shelties that are in need of furever homes!

Saying Goodbye to Benjamin, 1999 – 2012
A few months ago we found out that Benji was sick with cancer, that had progressed. Benji is a very special sheltie. Benji was the inspiration for rescuing our little Biscuit. Without Benji coming into our lives, we would not have rescued Biscuit.
He was always in a good mood. Benji always had a smile on his face and he was always up for going on a walk, going for a ride in the car, and eating some popcorn, for example.
This past weekend we took Biscuit with us to say our final goodbye to Benji. It was very difficult to say our final goodbyes to Benji, as we cannot imagine him not being here. When we last saw Benji, he was excited to see us and he had a huge smile on his face, the way that we will always remember him. Benji has left a permanent paw print on our hearts. We are so thankful for meeting this wonderful furry friend who captured our hearts.

Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving from Biscuit!
The weather is so nice here today and the light was wonderful this morning. In the image below, Biscuit is walking in our neighborhood dog park earlier this morning! Biscuit is all bathed and groomed and ready for some turkey!
I made a sweet potato casserole to take for Thanksgiving dinner today!
Gratitude. It turns what we have into enough.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Biscuit – Christmas 2012
This week I ordered Biscuit some holiday antlers – hopefully, they fit him and he will like to wear them long enough for me to get a few photographs of him! I ordered him a size small, as he has a tiny head!
Doug and I were talking and trying to decide what to get Biscuit for Christmas this year, and we have settled on another large Orvis Dream Lounger bed with orthopedic memory foam for our bedroom. He likes his large sage color Orvis bed in our living room so much, that we are going to get him a matching one in beige/ivory color to use in our bedroom! We want to make sure Biscuit is comfortable, especially with his arthritis.
Below is a photograph of Biscuit taken last December sitting near our Christmas tree! I think that Biscuit knows when he is being photographed!
Happy Tuesday!

Happy Birthday, Nick!
Yesterday was Nick’s birthday — he turned 6 (we think)! Nick is my parents’ rescue papillon mix dog! Pictured below on his birthday, he is wearing the embroidered sweater we gave to him to keep him warm during the cold winter months in Michigan!
Nick does not always look so serious – below is a photograph of Nick that was used to make the painting of Nick that we gave to my parents last year.
Happy Friday!

Le Biscuit Totem!
Below are few photographs of the Le Biscuit Totem! Laura Johnson of Le Animalé made the Le Biscuit totem from photographs that I sent her showing multiple perspectives of Biscuit so that she could create the three-dimensional Le Biscuit Totem!
For those of you who have met Biscuit, he loves to raise and give his paw in exchange for his prescription kibble, which he loves! Biscuit is on a prescription diet due to health reasons. It seemed fitting to show Biscuit smiling and raising his paw — his trademark! Each night after we go to the gym, Biscuit loves to sit with us on the sofa and give us his paw for his kibble! We think Biscuit thinks it is Halloween 365 days a year!
The stats for the Le Biscuit totem are:
Handsome
Head Strong
Hungry
Happy
Laura also made the Le Cheetah and Panda Totem that I gave to Doug for our wedding anniversary gift this past October. You can read more about Laura here, and you can visit her website as well!
Happy Thursday!
