April 13th, I received a text from Shannon Keith (fearless leader of Beagle Freedom Project) asking if I would photograph the incoming rescue. Five Beagles from South Korea better known as, The Korean 5. For those who read my blogs or know me personally, I, of course, said YES!! And then I did a dance around my house... So, April 14th, I was at Shannon's home awaiting this arrival with my daughter, whom, as luck would have it, was out of school that day. I wish I could express to you how beautiful these days are. I mean, besides the obvious excitement and anticipation of the Beagles arriving, the people you meet at the rescues are just amazing. They are warm, kind and friendly beyond what I can possibly put into words. They see my kid and embrace her as one of their own. These photographers pictured below were anticipating the celebs that were coming (Whitney Cumming, Chelsea Handler, etc.) but I (and a KCAL 9 videographer who was following my lead for some reason) placed myself on the grass knowing that this was primo real estate for capturing those precious faces taking their first steps on to grass. (Sidenote: I do have to learn to stand my ground against bully photographers. They are pushy. Heaven forbid you want to change your position!) So, as you may know, BFP doesn't give much detail as to the rescues. It's part of the rescue deal. It is something I deeply admire about this organization. I mean, no one can keep secrets these days. As I continuously say, these people are my hero's. I admire everything they do to rescue these animals. What we do know for sure is that this rescue was one of the most expensive to date. So, I'm asking you to donate whatever you can. I know it's hard to donate to every wonderful organization these days but, if you want to help, every dollar counts. Give whatever you can.
Now, I will shut up and just share my day with you. Enjoy.
