Dolly and Bill came to my studio for a really touching session. Dolly was recently diagnosed with terminal cancer and only has a few more months. I am an animal lover, and for this session I had a lump in my throat the entire time--but I nearly cried when Bill started telling me about Dolly and what she means to him. I had to swallow a lot to keep the tears away. ;) Dolly is more than a pet. Dolly has been Bill's right-hand working dog on the ranch for 11 years. It was amazing to watch the way Dolly focused on Bill. She was aware of his every move the entire time they were with me. Bill's wife, Sharon, and I were having a hard time getting Dolly to look at the camera, because she only wanted to look at Bill. Finally, Sharon had an idea, so she grabbed the spurs and jingled them in the air. Instantly, Dolly's working instincts kicked in. Her ears went up and she was ready to go! Dolly will be missed.

Ok, so I was reading this out to the girls, and I couldn't finish. I started to cry.
What a great story, and great photographs for them
Well done my dear!
Beautiful pictures and a beautiful story to go with it. We know Bill and Sharon and how much Dolly means to Bill. And yes, we were in tears as well. From the bank girls.
