Barking Dog Farm

Its so amazing how life brings great people forward just when you need them. Six years ago I met a cat, Ivan, who belongs to a lovely woman, Michelle, seeking my care as a veterinarian. Since then I have almost annually seen Ivan for the wounds he acquires as a bad-ass out in the world. At some point I started coming to his house, where I learned he also belongs with a gentleman, Kit, who was generally on the phone and computer. This past year though, Ivan apparently behaved himself- and I didn’t hear from Kit and Michelle- until a chance encounter at a gallery opening, where Kit’s beautiful photographs were displayed. This meeting began a critically important reconnection for me and my husband, Jeremy, who is planning to open a butcher shop in our town. We held a fund-raising party in August and needed it documented with photography as beautiful as we knew the food would be- and after seeing Kit’s photos- we knew he could do it. So I asked, and he said YES. The appointed morning he showed up with Michelle as the second photographer, and they stayed for 12 hours taking the most gorgeous pictures you can imagine…and now Kit and Michelle are building our web-presence, and Ivan is still ok, and THAT’S MY FIRST BLOG!
