Your music buds got a new promo photo? No, but thanks for asking. And, no, I haven't gotten back into the photography biz. A few days ago, Steph asked if I'd take a photo for her and Dan with Rubina. Rubina's time with them is growing short - she has progressed in her training and is ready to go back to the Guide Dogs for the Blind campus for more specific training.
Rubina is very much a good girl; smart, well-tempered, and adaptable. She is going to make a great Guide Dog companion that will change someone's life for the better. It is not easy for Steph and Dan to give her back - she has been a part of their everyday life for months.
Hopefully, it won't be long and they will be welcoming a 3rd Guide Dog puppy into their home.
In the meantime, I got out my Sony mirrorless camera to take some photos. Steph assured me, "This isn't a big deal - you can just use a phone if you want." I have not been out of the business so long that I don't appreciate the value of an image as "memory insurance."
We took the photos in their yard. Low key in the set up and flow of the shoot.
Rubina is a good girl. Steph and Dan are good people.

"... is very much a good girl; smart, well-tempered, and adaptable". Probably applies to Rubina and Steph. I admire Dan and Steph for fostering these dogs. They are doing a very good thing. I would get way too attached and not want to give them back.
Hi Earl. Steph and Dan ARE very attached; this is tough on them. That said, they believe in this program with all their hearts. They know going into it that these Guide Dog puppies are being raised for "a higher purpose." Besides all the time put into training and caring for the dogs, they attend weekly meetings with the Phoenix area guide dog group; and frequently other group outings. The dog in their care goes almost everywhere with them, including to work. It is a real commitment. I admire them for their dedication to this cause.
