    Christmas 2016
    The Traveling Terrier ..

    One event that we look forward to in celebration of the Christmas/Holiday season is visiting the Upland Animal Shelter and getting our pup, Olive's, festive pet portrait taken with professional photographer, Kimberly Saxelby, of True Emotions Photography. Kimberly generously donates her time and talent to take these photos every year at the Upland Animal Shelter. She is so sweet and really knows how to get just the right angle on our little pup. Kimberly is an incredible photographer with true talent, such professionalism, and Olive just adores her and so do we!

    This is the second year we have had our fur kids take Christmas pics here. Kim is very patient with them, especially because they are not well behaved, run all over the place, and take quite a bit of wrangling. We missed seeing her helper Maria this year (a beagle whisperer of sorts) but we eventually got our shots after lots of cookies, sweat, and tears! The photo here is a camera pic of the studio photo so that's why the lighting is off. Checkout her FB page--she takes great photos of pets and humans too!

    Amazing photographer. Captures amazing "doggie" expressions. A really beautiful person and a true friend of animals in need of help.

    Kimberly has photographed my dog 3 times and has done an amazing job. She's professional and loves animals!

    Hello, fellow fur baby lovers, I had the pleasure of working with Kimberly last year before the covid insanity. I brought two dogs with me,my service dog shadow and a client's dog . She rang me and said I could come earlier if I wanted, so I did. The shoot was relatively quick and Kimberlys method is somewhat fluid, meaning she will adapt her props and background to what she feels will best serve you based on your dog's size and color. I will treasure my professional portraits for life and hope to do them every so often. I recommend Kimberly if you are interested in getting a photos of you and your pet

    Waiting our turn to check, out photos!

    I am so excited to finally write this review after a full year with our big guy. We are…read moretraditionally dog people but are getting older and no longer have older kids at home to help with large pets but we were very attracted to the idea of a Bengal because of their higher than usual energy. We were hoping for a good middle-ground between running dogs every day for two decades and a fat house cat and we really feel like we got exactly what we were dreaming of and so much more. Her kittens were impeccable and we can't even believe how lucky we got with our male. He was instantly affectionate and loving towards us. My husband was very wary of cats and believed all of them were skittish and stand-offish. I had a childhood cat and remembered them being easy to own. I convinced him to let me get this kitten after our last dog passed because he was so gorgeous and as masculine as a sweet kitty could possibly look. We were so impressed with Dad when we met him in person and our little guy ended up looking just as handsome now that he's almost fully grown. Even other bengal owners are always blown away by his unusual coloring and shine. This is a cat even my husband is so proud to own after years of telling me cats were for women. Lol They are best buddies and sometimes I feel like I bought my own dream cat but my husband was the one who ended up with the best friend. He has zero negative health issues and has only needed to see the vet for regular vaccinations and altering. We have so much comfort in knowing that he has only eaten human grade food as we have continued the breeder's extraordinary meal plan. We have been a lifelong long kibble and canned food combo users and we had absolutely no idea how low the quality of food that is allowed to be given as animal grade even in the most expensive pet food. Our aunt just lost her sweet male cat to a urinary blockage and we had no idea how common they are in cats fed commercial foods. We take him everywhere with us and he is a huge comfort to me because of my anxiety. Everybody wants to interact with him and love on him and he really takes a lot of pressure off situations for me. I have never known a cat to be so willing to greet a large groups of people and people can't believe how calm he is. We did take the breeders advice and alter him before sexual maturity. He has never even once had an accident outside the litter box or on grass at home or in public. After decades of puppies I was ready for months of potty training. I had no idea how incredible a well raised kitten is at using the litter box exclusively. It was an absolute dream transition bringing him into our home. He has changed my life. We have not gotten a second bengal only because we love so much that we are able to travel with him and worry that flights, imposing on friends when we stay, etc would be too difficult with more than him but I am so tempted every time I see your posts of new litters. We have been life long animal adores but we never knew we could experience a bond with an animal like this. Thank you so much and to anyone considering a kitten--I couldn't imagine a better one in the entire world than the one I adopted from them.

    From the owner: Though Bengal cats have surged in popularity most largely due to their stunning appearance, it is…read moretheir remarkable personalities and distinctive traits that are the focus of our program. Bengals inherit a strong drive and confidence from their wild ancestors that overshadows the timid nature of domestic breeds. Our mission is to show animal lovers everywhere that when bred for temperament and raised carefully, Bengals are a dog-comparable emotional support or therapy animal with more manageable space and maintenance requirements. Our Bengals adventure without fear, possess the energy and drive to flourish with intensive training programs, and have an incredible capacity for human companionship. We produce a very small number of kittens as individual attention and socialization are the cornerstones of our program. Avoid spending the first months with your new pet battling the issues caused by profit-focused large catteries. Our kittens have- -Age-ap vaccines/multiple dewormings -Completed litter box training -2 weeks of frozen Raw-diet that the kittens have grown up on to transition them -5 day viral warranty -1 year guarantee against detrimental congenital defects Our kittens are the very best in pet-quality but are only for pet and therapy animal homes—we do not sell with papers for show or breeding. If you want a beautiful, healthy cat but need an animal that feels like an extension of yourself, please feel free to reach out and inquire about available kittens!

    Dogs are little pieces of our hearts walking outside of us. They love us unconditionally, bring joy…read morein the smallest moments, and stay loyal until their very last breath. For Leo and Kumo's August birthdays, we chose family photos as a way to hold on to what we can never truly keep: time. Thank you, Melissa from Be Here Now Photography, for capturing what words can't express. These photos freeze the fleeting moments of our pups and babies growing up together, a bittersweet reminder that their lives are short, but their love lasts forever. Melissa made everything so easy and was incredibly patient, even with two toddlers and four dogs! If you're looking for someone who can beautifully capture your pets and family, highly recommend Be Here Now Photography.

    It all started one day when my friends and I were doing a wall for the OCSPCA and I believe I just…read morelost my precious Willow Tree and I remembering looking at the booths and seeing Melissa's and another one for special Urns, next to hers. I took both cards, not ready to face what I was still grieving. I stashed them away in a box and then a few years ago I was finally ready to do a tribute and memorial for Willow. I remembered clearly Be Here Now and I remembered how beautifully she photographed and what her purpose was behind what she did. It was a day in October that one of her events popped up on my Facebook. I wasn't able to attend however I asked if she could do a session for me and Briley and a memory of Willow too and if she had any special packages like that. She gave me some packages and let me choose. She beautifully and so kindly helped me through what was all these memories I had kept and narrowed them down into what her ideas were with what mine were. I am creative, but she is BEYOND creative and take every moment from the first email, the prepping, the photo session and then the review of your photos with such LOVE and PASSION! We both know the pain of losing an animal either too soon or when it was their time, and understand that each day is a BLESSING from above and to take each moment, live in it with JOY, PURPOSE and LOVE! Every day is a new day and we cant go back in time... Embrace the good and bad and keep on, keeping on, in memory of those that we have lost (animal or human). She is so patient, fun loving and an AHHMAZZING Photographer. She captures the moment and just knows how to do it naturally. That's when you know you found a PHOTGRAPHER FOR LIFE! I know and she knows, but fr all that don't know her personally like I do, THIS IS HER HEART AND SOUL and HER PURPOSE in life! You will NOT be disappointed. I will attach the photos I chose, I am sure there were 1000 more Treasured moments that she had captured. And a side note, Javier is GREAT TOO!!!! We love you guys!! XOXO Renee and Briley and Willow
