Maggie, Loretta, and the Dachshund Gang

Loretta is one of those people who has lots of love to give.  Her gentle spirit, her smile, the light in her eyes...  all radiate warmth.  So it is easy to understand why she opened her home up to seven dogs.  Yes, you read that right...  Loretta and her husband, John, are the owners of seven dachshunds.  

She loves all her pets very much, but there is one dog that she has developed an extra special bond with.  Maggie has been by Loretta's side for 13 years, and the two of them are extremely close.  Maggie does not take her eyes off of Loretta.  She goes where Loretta goes.  And Loretta's heart will always be where Maggie goes.  They are inseparable.  

Loretta asked me to photographer her dogs, with the emphasis on Maggie.  Loretta wanted to have some photographs to always remember her very special companion, Maggie.   

Below are a few photos of the two of them.  You can tell they belong together.   

The next group of photographs are the rest of her dogs.  They range from 9 months to 12 years old.  They all have their unique personalities but all of them were a perfect fit in Loretta's house.   So many little spirits running around with nothing but love to give!!  These dogs were great!!

Thank you Loretta for inviting me into your home and letting me spend some time with you and your love ones.  I had such a good time photographing your family!
