We entered Banana into the Wayside Waifs Hot Tails of Kansas City contest this year.  It’s a great fund-raiser for Wayside.  Basically dogs compete for “votes.”  Each vote = $1.  Voting begins on September 25 and ends on October 28, so that’s one month to help raise money for Kansas City’s largest no-kill animal shelter & make Banana the Hot Tails winner.  A win-win for both Wayside Waifs & the Solar household!

If you would kindly share this post with everyone you know as well, that would be super! Facebook, Twitter, E-mail all can be done with one click of a button, so there’s no reason not to. The animals of Wayside thank you kindly.

Since no post is complete without something to look at, here’s a promo video I shot of Banana and our kids for Hot Tails.Enjoy and thanks for any & all support we get!

I know you all have fireworks on your mind, but I have cute doggies on mine.  That’s because Wayside Waifs has a LOT of them, and each and every one is searching for their new forever home.  These are only a few of the beautiful animals available, so if you don’t see one you like (How could you not?), check out their website for all of the available animals.

Apparently I picked a great day to volunteer at Wayside.  Here are a few pictures taken after an emergency C-section resulted in 12 Boxer puppies.  I don’t have any other details besides that.  Oh, and that the boxer puppies are EXTREMELY cute

Don’t forget about our cute feline friends

I sure do love all the animals I get to photograph at Wayside Waifs.  I know that taking pictures for the shelter once every two weeks is just a small part that I play in getting these dogs good homes, and I wish I could do more.  So, maybe you can help me out and spread these images anywhere you can in hopes someone sees a puppy and instantly falls in love.  Thanks in advance for your help!
