Wednesday, September 1st, 2010

How cool is this!

Tails of Hawaii, one of the top Doggie Daycares on Oahu, just used my photo(Oahu Pet Photographer Deb McGuire) for their full-page, back cover ad in Hawaii Pet Magazine.

I (Deb McGuire Oahu Pet Photographer, Hawaii Pet Photos) snapped the shot of Koa riding in his Dad’s bright red antique car.  Besides cruising, Koa enjoys playing with his human nephews and nieces and hanging out in parking lots.

Oahu Pet Photographer loves old puppy dogs

Thursday, August 19th, 2010

One of the many reasons pet parents call and book a session with me(Deb McGuire-Oahu Pet Photographer) is that their puppy dog or kitty cat is getting up there in years and they want a good photo of them. And although this Oahu Pet Photographer(me-Deb McGuire-Hawaii Pet Photos) realizes seniors can be a bit more challenging, I love it. Here’s some shots of Tiffi, a 17 year old mini dachshund .

Hawaii Pet Photographer and a yappy dog

Friday, August 13th, 2010

Yep that’s right ….Hawaii Pet Photographer Deb McGuire just photographed the yappiest dog ever. From the time I arrived to the time I left Chloe barked and barked and barked. Only stopping briefly to grab a dog cookie from my trusty Oahu Pet Photography treat bag. It’s a wonder I got any closed-mouth shots at all. I’m sure her neighbors appreciated the early morning wake up call…bark on Chloe!

Oahu Pet Photography joins forces with Hawaii Yorkie Club

Wednesday, August 11th, 2010

Imagine 18 little yorkies, a couple of wiener dogs and a black lab all enjoying a Sunday afternoon at one of Oahu’s most beautiful beach parks. I, (Oahu Pet Photographer- Deb McGuire- Hawaii Pet Photos) recently was the guest of honor at the Yorkie Club of Hawaii’s annual picnic. We had great eats and were treated to an agility demonstration by an Australian yorkie. (He’s bigger than his American counterparts.) Yorkies are oblivios to their small size (7 pounds) and can be a bit demanding. They were originally bred to catch rats in England. It wouldn’t work here in Hawaii, the rats are bigger than them. Check out the shots below. Sadly one of the little darlings featured in the two-shot passed away a week after I snapped her photo.

His name is Custer and he is an expert in detecting drugs and alcohol in Hawaii schools. I (Deb McGuire Pet Photography, hawaiipetphotos,com) recently was commissioned to photograph this Maui dog on his family estate(it’s been in his family since the mid 18oo’s). Custer is 9 years old and is a golden retriever. Confused? I know he doesn’t look like one. He’s called a red fox because of a recessive gene in his DNA. His  facial fur grays faster than the rest of the body fur. He has one toy and he loves it!!! It makes him completely bonkers. It was a blast photographing him. Check out his work website http://interquestk9.com.

Oahu Pet Photographer Deb McGuire & Elephant Law

Wednesday, 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.

Hawaii Pet Photography Released From Purgatory!!!

Wednesday, 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!

Saturday, 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.
