national dog day? check.

I had something else planned for the blog today, but then I learned that it was NATIONAL DOG DAY, so of course I had to change things up to show you the best dog in the universe. Merlin here got a nice, long (for him) walk this morning because when I woke up at 6 it was a cool 57 degrees outside. Yeah. You better believe the two of us were gonna soak that in a bit.Besides some good dog walking, I got a gazillion household items checked off the list today (like some cooking, an oil change for the car and some new tires for winter) along with some long-term business stuff. The thing that kept me most occupied was that I emailed all my clients about a photo day I have planned for Saturday, November 15. I'm opening up the studio for family holiday portraits (of COURSE your pets are welcome as well!) and for $100 you get a 30 minute photo session and five high resolution images that you can use as gifts or on your holiday cards or on coffee cups or however you see fit! And I sent the email out and within a few hours I was swamped with requests.And as of me typing this, I only have one spot left that day, at 1 pm. am sold out. If you are interested in purchasing one of these sessions but didn't get around to it, please can email me (leslie {at} shuttersmack {dot} com). I'm trying to gauge interest on adding a second date, and this would be super helpful to me. Thanks!Ok! Enough business talk! Let's move on to the internet share of the day, shall we? How about these random sleep facts, including the one that you would die sooner from sleep deprivation than food deprivation! Who knew?And on that note? I'm off to bed.
