Tuesday morning at about 10AM, I was sent on a photo call at Runyon Canyon Park for Famke Janssen and her dog Licorice. Normally, I'd never get up that early just to shoot one celeb and their pooch, but I like Famke, and I'm an X-Men fan, so I went. I'm glad I did! Her little dog is a great big bundle of energy. After I got the shots of Famke that I needed, I found I was more interested in playing with Licorice :-)

At one point, Famke was giving an interview about her pooch and she got a little teary eyed talking about him. Man, some women really love their pets don't they? I love the little boogers too, but I'll be damned if I'm going to get teared up about a mutt on camera for all the world to see. Anyway, she obviously cares about the cause, "Be An Angel for Animals", which is sponsored by PETA. Most of the time I think PETA goes a little overboard when it comes to animal activism (ie. throwing paint on fur coats), but in this case, it's all about being good to the pets that depend on you!

So be good to your pooches, kitties, and hampsters, etc.! Show them the love they deserve, but if someone sticks a camera in your face, you might want to tone it down a bit ;-)
