A very happy couple.

Vidya & Naveed cut their wedding cake, a photo by Jorge Araujo
Ok so I was in Detroit, Michigan this weekend to see Vidya & Naveed get hitched. It was an amazingly beautiful weeding, my first Indian (dots not feathers) wedding. We had a great time and really enjoyed the weeding. I want to thank Vidya and Naveed for the invitation as well as Sonia's Parents Jorge Just and Sonia Just for everything they did to make our weekend great. Also thanks to Heather for letting us stay with her in Ann Arbor. Ok so Michigan is way different than LA, Amazing homes and yards and green as green can be, the weather was perfect.

Ok so this image, well when they said and the couple will now cut the cake, I knew I had to take a picture, so I got up moved in close enough to get the shot but making sure not to invade on this special moment and I snapped of this shot. I'm really happy with the shot they both look great and very happy, and I am so happy for them.

Rest In Peace Old Friend!

                                                     Sweet Old ECCO, a photo by Jorge Araujo

We had to put old Ecco down on Aug. 12th. It was a sad day and we still miss him very much, but it was the right time. He was such a strong dog and never showed any weakness until the end, he will be remember as one of the sweetest and most amazing dogs ever. Amazingly I think he knew it was his time and let us know that we were doing the right thing. We really knew it was time and we made the right choice when he stopped eating. I mean this dog would never not eat, no matter what if there was food in his plate, or anywhere else for that matter including a bag of bagels on top of a 7 foot tall rack he would eat it.... LOL! So when he stopped we knew it was really time. Again he will be remembered forever. So old friend have a safe journey and take your place with the great "Dog Lords" of the past and Rest In Peace.
