Happy dog! Last Saturday I did the pet portraits for the local dog walk for our Cumberland Valley Animal Shelter. Not sure how much money we raised but it is always a nice time... so long as the weather is good. The evening before the walk I was loading the car and hurt my back... I have had back issues for as long as I can remember but this was really bad. I used heating pads, ointments, Advil, stretches, massage and just got zero relief... I was afraid I would not be able to do the shoot.... I toughed it out and with the help of my wife we got all setup and we were only about 5 minutes behind schedule.... it's Tuesday and I am still struggling with the pain, I feel like it is 100% soft tissue... but still it hurts. There are a lot of displaced animals, and the numbers that perished during the hurricanes must be staggering... here is the link to our local group... http://www.cvas-pets.org/ Oh, and lets not forget about the pollinators... humanity can not survive without them, support the beekeepers too!
