professional photo shoot with jack

i hired Elaina Renae Photography http://elainarenae.com/ to take some shots of jack because she donates the sitting fee to a rescue of my choice (rescue rovers). he is a great subject. every pic turned out just completely perfect. he is just the most handsomest dog ever.

i love this pic. it shows jacks personality perfectly. he absolutely loves rocks and he found one as soon as we got to millcreek canyon.

this is one of my absolute favorite pics. it is the perfect action shot. he was running to me when this pic was taken.

such a gorgeous dog!

this was taken during a brief break in playing with his rock.

he is a great poser for pics. hard not to be when you are the best looking dog on earth.

this one is my absolute favorite. i can't get over how much i adore this dog! he is the best dog. he is completely loyal to me.

ok, wait. i changed my mind. this one might be my favorite. ugh. they are all my favorite.

tongue out mountain playing.

then we got some fun pics. he looks really good in glasses

my boy whom i love

the cutest professor. i am so incredibly thankful for this special boy. he is the best part of my life.

the doggy diaries: jack rabbit

while i am cruising, my boy jack lives with my parents. my mom dresses him up to keep us all apprised of how things are going. told from the perspective of the dog.
Jack "rabbit"
i am not pleased that i am dressed up as a jack rabbit. but, i imagine my mama will love my fluffy little tail.

life of a cruise ship nurse: grand cayman

Hell. Grand Cayman
 you can't come to grand cayman and not go to hell. it is a unique place that is basically a bunch of black rocks.  or if you want to get technical, black limestone formations. i'm not going to lie, i'd never go back. not worth the money you spend on the cab ride.  although there is a post office there and now all your friends and family can get mail from hell.
7 mile beach. Grand Cayman
 i'd rather spend my day at the beach whilst in grand cayman
 the water is the perfect temperature of awesomeness
 you can rent all sorts of water-craft.  or you can just lay on the beach. :)
 such a gorgeous place to read a book
dinner
what a perfect day!
