Oahu Pet Photographer Deb McGuire & Elephant Law

July 28th, 2010

As an elephant owner, I have been trying to find a “Pachyderm-Friendly” town that will allow me to walk my pet.  Thanks to San Francisco, I have found a home. Apparently, I can walk my large eared, cuddly beast down the city streets as long as I keep him on his leash.  My only fear is that he might discover a female elephant while we walk.  Tough to reign in the big guy when a “little girl” saunters by.

NO, I AM NOT REALLY LEAVING HAWAII!!!

I just happened upon this elephant leash law after hearing about San Francisco attempts to ban pet sales.

Her name is Reiko(which means grateful/thankful child in Japanese). She has the most amazing blue eyes on a funny little dachshund body. I first met her at the 2010 Hawaii Wiener Derby. Enjoy the pictures below.

BOOK’ER, DAN’O! Lindsay Goes to Jail!

July 21st, 2010

We are devastated!

For weeks, like many, we were anticipating the photos of the ridiculously foolish Lindsay Lohan being shackled and hauled away to the “Paris Hilton Celebrity Isolation Cell.”  Today, Judge Marsha Revel inhumanely denied us that satisfaction.  Tabloid journalism built this moment up, and a judge, who had no reason to be nice to the spoiled former Disney starlet, had the cameras turned off to preserve Miss Lohan’s dignity.  WHAT ABOUT US?!

Then, to add to the injury, we learned that Lindsay’s lockup will impact her upcoming projects.  UPCOMING PROJECTS?!  Who was the Hollywood genius who felt that was a brilliant move?

So, for those who have awaited the shots of Lindsay in non-fashion bracelets, Hawaiipetphotos.com offers a Chihuahua substitute.  The deal is the puppy is smarter.

Oahu Pet Photographer Does Extreme Puppy Makeover

July 8th, 2010

Oahu Pet Photographer Deb McGuire recently hosted segment of “The Extreme Puppy Makeover” for OC-16‘s Pet Hui.

The show takes a homeless animal, gives it a complete makeover inside and out, and presents the animal in all its grandeur.  The goal is adoption.

This segment’s star is a little girl named Fluffy.  Fluffy had been seen running around a local strip mall for more than two weeks.  Finally, a concerned security guard caught the dirty little dog and took her to “Friends for Life.”  Lanny Moore contacted Ron Darby.  Ron Darby did some intracranial cognifying.  Fluffy became the perfect candidate for an Extreme Puppty Makeover!

Fluffy received her first-ever grooming session from “Tails of Hawaii.”  Wendy Mah of Sirius Puppy Training provided the mental and psychological clean-up.  Animal Care Foundation in Hawaii Kai gave Fluffy a complete check-up.  She had a fun photo session at the park with yours truly, Deb McGuire Photography…HawaiiPetPhotos.com.  Fluffy finished her day by being treated to a huge bundle of goodies from Pets Discount(the bed she received was so comfy I wanted to crawl into it myself) and lunch at the Costco foodcourt…Fluffy ate a healthy meal while we ate the Costco HotDogs.  The entire program is sponsored by Aloha Kia who provided Fluffy and the Extreme Puppy Makeover Crew with a beautiful Sonata to drive around in for the day.

Be sure to check out Fluffy’s Extreme Makeover on The Pet Hui Show(produced by Ron Darby) on OC16. If you wish to adopt Fluffy or another wonderful pet contact “Friends for Life!”Hawaii Pet Photography hosts Extreme Puppy Makeover sponsored by Tails of HawaiiOahu Pet Photographer & Friends for Life team up to help find Fluff a home!Hawaii Pet Photographer at Hawaii Pet Photos is featured in Aloha KIa Extreme Puppy Makeover

Hawaii Pet Photography Released From Purgatory!!!

July 7th, 2010

Three days…three days of stress and confusion caused by the Chinese invasion of our site. Hawaiipetphotos.com’s blog was hit by malware. Unfortunately, the bad code struck on the holiday weekend, and resolution was not fast. Once everyone returned to work, the clean up and restoration of our site’s credibility was restored in a few hours. Kudos to the folks at CMD, WordPress, and Google for their hardwork. We learned so much this weekend.

One of the things that was so awesome was the attention that our part-time competitors paid to our hardship. They actually helped to drive our google ratings even higher. When their identities were revealed as we attempted to clean up the mess, we were so grateful that they cared enough to follow our plight. Hawaiipetphotos was flattered actually. You know who you are in Aiea, Kailua, Honolulu and the North Shore. Who knew that your website icons would ride along with your IP addresses? Hmmm, you might want to work on that.

If we had not been hacked this weekend, this blog would have focused only on our Saturday shoot at Hickam AFB. We love the venue and this weekend’s puppy dog was absolutely a joy to photograph. We have had multiple sessions at Hickam and the venues and furry friends have all been wonderful.

REALITY: Lindsay Lohan’s going to prison… Bethenny Frankel did look like a Disco Ball at her Shower (her quote not mine)… Jillian and Ed are the latest “Bachelorette” disaster (maybe she is ready to take back Jake)… Chris, what’s up with that “we don’t care about the dog” stuff on the Jake and Vienna reunion… Tiger Woods imitated a golfer this past weekend as his divorce details leaked in gossip media.

Hawaiipetphotos.com is thrilled to be out of Purgatory.

HELLO HAWAII!!! FIREWORKS SCARE PETS!

July 3rd, 2010

Hawaii Pet photographer Deb McGuire's own Sham-Rock finds the whole Oahu firework thing disturbing!ONE DAY!!!  One Day until the second loudest night on the Hawaii calendar.  After New Years, the 4th of July on Oahu is insane.  PETS ARE NOT FANS!

Hawaii legislators debate legal (and illegal) fireworks as the biennial celebration of noise quickly approaches.

Without jumping on an anti-firework soapbox, I remind only that our pets hear better than we, two-legged humans do…THEY DON’T LIKE THE LOUD BANGS!

So here are some helpful hints:

1.  Keep your pets indoors.  OK, I know.  This is Hawaii…

2.  Create a calming environment.  Talk to your pet.  Let them know that the pets are in charge and that you know, that they know that when the decibel level reaches its highest level, it is time for a puppy or kitty massage.

3.  If you are using blasting caps and dynamite to mark your festive fourth, PLEASE keep your pets away…Put them in your Oahu Pet Bunker.  That way when you and your human family members have been vaporized by your newly invented MOTHER OF ALL BACKYARD BOMBS, your pet will survive to mourn your passing.
