Check out Nashville Paw Magazine. We absolutely LOVE this publication and we think Heather Davis and her crew do an amazing job.
The photographs on the right side of the image are from a recent Music, Mutts & Margaritas that Tim attended. The page layout is awesome and I love those particular images too.
Thanks for stopping by the blog!
Cats got their day in the sun, as this past Saturday's Music, Mutts and Margaritas benefited the Nashville Cat Rescue. Even though Tim and Sheila of Nashville Pet Pictures were moving targets all day, we wanted to show our support for the cat rescue, if only for a brief visit. Thanks to those who braved the four o'clock heat to come out in support of this great rescue group.
Carrie and Camille showed up with two kitties, Nickel and Tiny Tim. Both of these sweethearts are available for adoption. The fundraising for the day had a special focus: the medical needs of Tiny Tim, who suffers from a ruptured eye and desperately needs it removed. If at all possible, please contact Nashville Cat Rescue to make a special donation for this operation fund. He's a sweet little gray tabby who will need a special home once his operation is behind him, so consider this option if you can as well.
The day's musical talent was Brian Van Meter and Robert McClenethan (and friends). As usual, the music was great, the margaritas cold and the dogs happy to be with their peoples!!!
For now, find the day's photos on our flickr site. When life calms down a bit, we'll get them into a photo album on this site as well but it may be a while since the family geek is about to be away!
Thanks to everyone who came out to Pup*Topia last Saturday with their bffs in tow. The unseasonably cooler weather made for a great outdoor event. Kristin of Lucky Pup did an outstanding job of bringing everyone together and the turnout included dogs (and people) of every description there to see and experience Nashville's wonderful dog-related services and products.
Pup*Topia was a must-do for pampered pups and their awesome people; so, if you missed this one be sure to check out Lucky Pup, meet Kristin and try to convince her to do it again! There were tables with representatives from some of Nashville's best animal service providers and rescue organizations. It was an event where you could find dog trainers, wash your dog in Lucky Pup's self service dog wash, meet photographers who specialize in pet portraits, talk to a published author of Stretch Your Pet Healthy, eat amazing cupcakes, meet the fine folks from several doggie daycare and walking services, or even adopt a companion. But get this - they also had beer for dogs -that's right Bowser Beer was a hit though our Rudy was more interested in the traditional social ritual of "butt sniffing" than beer drinking.
We were impressed that SO many dogs could mingle in a congested area without incident. There was the occasional tangle of leashes or skirmish over a new-favorite-toy, but nothing serious. And, as best we could tell, no pups were over-served, though one became so exhausted, she had to be carried to the family car.
We're proud that Nashville is blessed with so many animal rescue agencies in these particularly tough economic times. According to everyone we've met in the rescue and animal welfare businesses, the number of dropped and abandoned animals just keeps growing. At Nashville Pet Pictures, we want to help as many of these agencies as we can by offering our photo services to help get these dogs and cats placed in responsible, loving homes.

Stay happy, stay cool and if you're a dog with too much energy, just stay!
The notice might be a little late but suffice it to say that things have been crazy around here lately. Tim and I are really excited though about a great even taking place this evening from 5:00 - 8:00pm at Lucky Pup Boutique & Bath.
Yesterday afternoon we went to check the place out and meet Kristin, the owner of Lucky Pup. She's awesome as is Lucky Pup. Check out the details about Pup*Topia, grab your own Lucky Pup and come on down to 1200 Villa Place!
Just for grins - check out my cousin's own Lucky Pups -
Dog Days of Summer...
WHOA...was it hot at the last Music Mutts & Margaritas event. However, the nice people over at Music City Bar & Grill have gone the extra mile to make us a little more comfortable with increased shade on the patio. We love the giant, red table-umbrellas! While the dogs enjoyed cooling in the kiddy-pool, their people relaxed in good company with cold libations from the bar.
This week's entertainment, provided by Tommy Hatcher and Greg Mangus, sizzled in the heat. They performed an eclectic mix of unplugged rockin' roll... everything from Elvis to Bob Seger and the crowd enjoyed Heather performing the beautiful ballad LANDSLIDE, by Stevie Nicks of Fleetwood Mac. The quality of music should come as no surprise since we live in a town where most everyone knows a working musical talent... if they're not one themselves.
The Humane Society of Sumner County was the featured group for whom we raised money this week. They showed up with a great audience and a sincere thanks goes out to all the new and regular patrons who continue to brave the heat to show their support. It's so important that we help these agencies who work so hard to make a difference. The varied groups work tirelessly to ensure that the four-legged unfortunates in our area--abused, abandoned or stray--don't suffer the consequences of having been dealt a bad hand of fate. Our dog, Rudy, was a rescue and, GOD are we blessed to have him in our lives!
Heather Davis, editor of NASHVILLE PAW, showed up with a stack of the hot-off-the-press August issue. We at Nashville Pet Pictures were overjoyed to see the mention of Music, Mutts & Margaritas, loaded with photos taken by us on one of our prior visits.
Keep your eyes peeled for the August/September issue of NFocus magazine, soon to hit the newsstands. They, too, are doing an article about this worthwhile weekly event. Be sure to make it out for yappy hour with your "numero uno animale", if not next Saturday then some other Saturday before the end of August! Hope to see ya' there.
To see more photos from last Saturday (and other Saturdays too), be sure to check out the MMM galleries on the right sidebar. Click on the picture and voila - you'll get to see more!

Thanks to everyone for coming out and bringing their furry children to the most recent installment of Music, Mutts & Margaritas. The wonderfully kind and lovely Donna Frost provided a great mix of original and cover music. She's a friend to both humans and animals in need and devotes her personal time and musical talents to worthwhile causes like Music, Mutts & Margaritas.
This week's featured rescue group was SPCA of Tennessee. Thanks to the kind folks at Music City Bar & Grill who host the weekly event and Patti at The Whole Kit & Kapoodle who puts it all together, SPCA was able to raise a little much-needed cash and expand their presence with local dog and cat lovers.
Saturday's summer storm cut the outdoor festivities a little short but once again, a nice-sized crowd had gathered on the patio with an interesting mix bag of K9 cuties. This was our third MM&M and we were happy to see old friends and meet many new ones. So come out, enjoy a little music, food and drink in the company of like-minded folks who love their pets and envision a community of responsible pet ownership but in the meantime are willing to support the rescuing, fostering and transporting of abused, neglected, abandoned and unwanted animals.
See the photo galleries for some of our favorite pics of MM&M by dates.
We've uploaded photos from the June 21st event at Music City Bar and
Grill. If you look to the sidebar on the right, you'll see links
to the photos from the 7th and 21st.
Suffice it to say, a good time was had by all, the margaritas were great, the dogs were adorable and the music was awesome.
