Floyd the Cavalier in the Snow
Floy-Floy-Floyd!
That’s how we called to Floyd during his second photo romp last weekend in the snow. You may remember our first session last summer in the Boston Public Garden and Beacon Hill when he was 13 weeks old. He’s a little bigger now but just as impish and floppy-eared as ever. We met again at the Public Garden, now covered in snow. There were a ton of other dogs out – snow makes dogs PRANCE!! – so we all made new friends that day. Later we warmed up at the Taj Boston hotel (formerly the Ritz-Carlton and which I still call the Ritz, as if I had some personal tie to it when I do not; I’d never set foot in it until now) where Floyd replenished himself with water from the ladies’ room faucet. Later he revealed his naughty side by making a run for the tea room’s kitchen. I don’t know how he knew exactly where to go where he was least allowed – he pretty much dashed down a flight of stairs, turned left, bore right and went straight into the kitchen without a moment’s pause. However dog-friendly the hotel was, they weren’t too crazy about a Floyd in the food prep area! We left right soon after. And headed to The Four Seasons hotel :)
Thanks Floyd for another fun and wonderful shoot!
Here are some behind the scenes shots at the Four Seasons and Taj Boston.

What a cute little guy he is!! I love the ones of him between the green posts, and the “looking down snow faced” ones. ;) Very cute!

Dan is getting good. That last shot is beautifully framed. My favorite of this shoot has to be the one where Floyd and the pomeranian were racing into the shot together. Great job as always.

Unfortch Dan cannot take credit for that last shot. He was home doing taxes, mwahaha. That was me taking a self-portrait in the mirror, at the bathroom of Taj!

I love Cavalier King Charles Spaniels because their eyes are SO expressive.
