Just a short update.

All of Summerland community was ordered to evacuate just after midnight. Myself, partner, and our 3 dogs got out and are safe. We are currently staying on the coast with my family.

Thank you to those that have reached out in concern.

Let's all just hope the hard working firefighters can get this under control 🤞

Did you know that I've started offering dog sport event photography?

This past weekend Okanagan Find It dog sport association invited me out to photograph their Happy Ratters trial! Thank you again for having me out.

After two big days, I finished the weekend with a few thousand photos of the 40 dogs in attendance.

Now comes the big task of organizing the photos and sorting through to cull the duplicates and missed shots (which is around a two thirds of everything I've taken).

So far, I've sorted through about a 25% of the photos, completing galleries for the first 10 dogs which has resulted in a total of 292 rough edits eagerly awaiting their humans eyes.... sorry though folks, I won't be releasing the gallery until all 40 galleries are there!

And because my ADHD craves a little variety in my day, I take breaks periodically to do creative edits on select photos. Here's some of those creative edits I did today. Featuring: Artoo, Cali, and Chacha.

Our trial in Langley, BC is 2.5 weeks away and we're still in need of additional volunteers to help the day run smoothly!

No prior experience needed. Invaluable learning opportunity to watch lots of different teams run in a trial --- great for teams of all experience level, but also a great way to see how trials work if you're curious about trialing and haven't tried yet!

There will be over $200 worth of gifts for volunteer raffles PLUS lunch AND extra gifts for volunteers that are willing to donate their whole day (there is also the option to volunteer for just a half day).

Please email me at megan @ extraordinarycanines .com if you're able to help out!

WATCH ME GROW!

Did you know that I offer "Watch Me Grow" photography packages for puppies?

The Watch Me Grow package includes 3 mini photo sessions -- the first one when your puppy comes home, the second at 6 months, and the last one at 1 year!

These photos are truly priceless, but the package is only $300.

Each session includes a composite photo of your puppy from our session, 3 individual portraits, plus an online gallery (in case you'd like more than just 3 photos).

Enjoy this composite of my puppy, Mongo, who celebrated turning 6 months old today!

July 11th in Langley, BC - CDSA & SSL

Guess what!? I'm headed down to the coast to host a CDSA & SSL trial in Langley on July 11th!

Let me know what level you're waiting for in CDSA and SSL Skills!

I am leaning towards gearing the event towards newcomers to the sport or those that are new to these organizations with either a DS1 or DS2 and Novice Skills.... but let your voice be heard in the comments below! I'll confirm level offerings early next week!

Just an update that the Super Scenter League runs I was going to offer on the long weekend in the lower mainland will no longer be happening.

As of this morning I did not have enough details to be able to issue a premium and I so I have made the decision to cancel the SSL. I simply do not feel I can pull of the quality of event that I pride myself in hosting in this little time. I sincerely apologize to those that were looking forward to playing.

For those interested in trying Canadian Detection Sport Association Games that weekend or those ready for DS4 please stay tuned on their page as those events will still be going ahead.
