some photos from a recent engagement session-- isn't kate a beauty?
Dear Husband, After such a terrible week (finding out Bell has a torn ACL and needs yet another bank-breaking surgery, that you might have also torn your ACL among other things) I am glad that you are the voice of reason and let me know that everything is going to work out just fine. Dear BRAND NEW Photography BUSINESS, I did it! I officially launched you and have officially booked photography gigs.  Logo is in design and business cards, cd labels and packaging will follow shortly.  I hope this is the beginning of a very beautiful relationship. Dear Blog Friends, Ashley Slater Photography also has facebook page !  "Like It" if you know...you like it! I would love it!  Dear Bella, It wasn't enough that we spent nearly $2K on your surgery back November?  And go through the misery that was trying to keep you from running around during recovery? And now you have to go and tear your ACL so you need another surgery, meaning another recovery time?  I don't know if I can take it!  Dear Husband, When you were icing your knee with a economy size package of corn (that had been opened) and spilled frozen corn kernels all over the carpet you were surprised when I started picking said kernels off the carpet and dropping them back into the bag. Hello, do you know me? Five. Fifteen. Second. Rule. !!!

Over & Out, 
A

  4. awww Ashley!!! That STINKS about your puppy!!! Wouldn't it be nice if pets could TELL us when their big expenses were going to hit?! lol as if... :( I wish though!!! Hope everything turns out ok. It's hard to see even animals in pain :( By the way-
    LOVE your photography page!!!!!!! Congrats on starting it up!!!!! Earlier this year, I was almost ready to give up on my own, just because I felt like everyone else was more creative than me. and I didn't think I could keep it up. but.. I decided to keep at it and challenge myself. And, it's been SO worth it!!! (it's www.facebook.com/snapshotintime if you're curious ;) ) It's exciting to make it all official! Great job with the engagement photos :) Happy Friday!!!!!

  7. I'm so sorry to hear about Bella (and you're hubby). One Christmas, I had to take Tex to the animal er because he fell and then wasn't using one leg. He just sprained it, but we weren't supposed to let him run/jump for three weeks. It was impossible, especially with the three feet of snow we had. I hope everything goes well with her, sending positive thoughts your way.

    Also, love that you've launched your photography business! I'm impressed and proud :)

  20. Hi! First time visitor here, and was so sorry to hear about your puppy. Our pup tore her ACL last fall too. The vet said that we could do surgery, OR try and keep her confined (no jumping or running) and see if it would heal enough on it's own to stabilize her knee. Well, because it was the free route, we waited it out, and she was able to start using her leg again in a few weeks (although we kept her in a playpen for months). Now, you would never know she had a problem! So all that to say, I'd get a second opinion if I were you, especially since Bella is a small dog (as ours is). Perhaps there's another option besides surgery? Wishing you the best!

  23. Congratulations on your photography business. The website looks really great!

    I'm sorry to hear about poor Bella. I completely understand about the horrible task of keeping them still and comfortable for recovery. My Milo had a nightmare recovery from surgery two years ago, wouldn't wish that on anyone. I'm sure things will go very will for little Bella, you know what they say second times a charm :) Sending all positive thoughts!
