So Many Dogs, So Little Chill: My Pet Palooza Experience
I may have taken over 1,200 photos at Pet Palooza… and honestly? Totally worth it.
From the tiniest toe beans to the floofiest giants, I got to meet dogs of every shape, size, and level of chaos—and it was amazing. A few pups were so pumped to see someone on their level (literally, I was on the ground) that they ran straight into me and my camera. No hard feelings. I think we bonded.
The Keeko Stare™️
Keeko came dressed to impress—with a stylish bandana and a stare so intense it could melt steel (or just convince you to hand over your sandwich). He was one of the pups I got to meet at Pet Palooza, and this look? It’s giving “CEO of Cuteness.” More Keeko coming soon because, yes, there were multiple hits.
This was my first time being a vendor at Pet Palooza, and I wasn’t sure what to expect. But wow—thank you to everyone who stopped by my table, entered the giveaway, or just showed interest in what I do. Whether you snagged a dog treat, admired the photos, or gave me a smile while wrangling your furry tornado, I truly appreciate you.
Over the next couple of weeks, I’ll be sharing some of my favorite snapshots from the day—so keep an eye on Instagram and Facebook. If we met that day, there’s a good chance your pup will make an appearance.
Lady Lyra, Unbothered and Glorious
Lyra brought elegance to Pet Palooza like it was her full-time job. With her perfectly floofed fur, thoughtful gaze, and that stylish bandana, she had main character energy all day long. Calm, poised, and clearly above the chaos—Lyra was there to observe… and be admired.
📸 Featured in this post are just a few of the rockstars I got to photograph. Your pet might be next.

And hey—giant, most heartfelt THANK YOU to my incredible friend, Amy for helping out all day long. I literally could not have done it without her (or I would’ve ended up hiding under the table with the dog treats).
Pepe, the Blue-Eyed Heartthrob
Pepe didn’t just show up to Pet Palooza—he arrived. With eyes that could stop traffic and a smile that says “You brought snacks, right?” this guy was all charm, all day. His energy was infectious, his tail never stopped wagging, and I swear he knew he was working the camera. What a superstar.
