SESSION NOTE ~ 
That fluff on the top of his head, the floppy ears, the way his tongue sits perfectly over his lower canines. TJ was a funny duck to photograph. He's wearing his leash because he couldn't quite figure out what it was we were asking of him. I get it.
TJ was in foster at the time of his session. I was trying to get new-into-foster dogs into the sessions as soon as possible because once they got adopted, I knew it would be more difficult to get them back. Debbie, his foster mom - in fact all of the foster humans - were so helpful in allowing the dogs in their care to participate. Such a cool, supportive community.
TJ is a a survivor of the #thunderbay12.
