Calendar Girl

Although Emme is not "Miss February," her parents and relatives are the February photo on Dick Goddard's 2008 Weather Calendar. Many months ago, Darlene, Emme's breeder, was contacted by Dick Goddard, the weather man at Channel 8, to have her dogs photographed and included in an upcoming calendar. Dick Goddard is heavy into animal issues, animal safety, and rescue groups. It is a natural that his annual calendar would include pets.

A photographer was sent to Darlene's house to get a photo of all twelve of her Bichons. The photographer shot pictures of the entire process and many of the "in progress" pictures are shown on the February page along with the final photograph. It is nothing short of a miracle that Darlene, her family and the photographer got all twelve dogs to sit still for the photo. I can't do that with two dogs of my own.

The calendar is now on sale for $2.99 at Discount Drug Mart.
