Westminster 2009 I always wanted to attend the Westminster dog show in Madison Square Garden. It came as a wonderful surprise when I WON the opportunity to go, through DOGFESSIONS, an online contest for dogs and their people. My daughter and I left Feb. 8 from Knoxville, TN, and flew into Newark. The following days were fast-paced. New York City is an interesting city to experience...especially for a couple of country girls. We pounded the asphalt trails, rode the subways, heard many different languages, tasted different cuisines...and basically learned how big city folk live. We enjoyed our stay...however, it was nice to get home to the farm and hear the "quiet"... and a few crickets. Special thanks to Nikki Moustaki of Dogfessions for such a wonderful prize package! Thanks to David Frei for the Westminster tickets and The Muse for their wonderful hospitality! |

Professional Photos @ Ijams Nature Ctr Professional photographer Jeannie Harrison of Close Encounters of the Furry Kind was in Knoxville for a three day professional photo shoot. Two of our dogs and one we co-own, were invited to attend the "Beautiful Dogs" campaign. Jeannie operates a stock photo agency in Deep Gap, NC. Her work has been regularly published in a number of magazines including Dog Fancy, Dogs for Kids, Popular Dogs, Dogs USA, Puppies USA, Dog World, AKC Gazette and Just Labs magazines. CEFK also works with a number of calendar companies. To read more about Close Encounters of the Furry Kind visit www.cefk-llc.com or cefkphotos.com
We certainly hope to see Keyno, our Rat Terrier, or Sage, our American Hairless Terrier, or Heathen (AHT bred by our kennel) in print someday. Nevertheless, we were honored to take part and had lots of fun. The professional photos that were taken of our Dogs are coming to this album SOON! |
