Calendar girl

Got a random call just before Zumba class tonight from a photographer and his wife who took photos of Lucy and some of our other friends' Danes after the 2008 Doggy Dash. We walked as a group to help benefit the SSPCA, and while we were there the photographers wanted to get some Dane pictures. They take several different dog photos and sell the stock art to calendar companies.

Well, 2008/2009 passed (almost). I didn't hear from the photographers when the 2009 calendars were released so I figured it wasn't to be. But to get this call from this photographer more than a year later ... She said Lucy's photo had been chosen to go in the 2010 Great Dane international calendar (featuring all natural-eared Danes). She's to be Miss January for an entire year, seen on a national and international level. So exciting!

It's actually kind of funny because when the photographers sent me the proof shots soon after they were taken in 2008, I thought they weren't that great. But apparently they're great enough to be chosen for a calendar. Awesome!

Here's a sneak peak of the lucky calendar pups. Lucy, as Miss January, is in the upper left-hand corner. This is so fun. Guess I know what everyone will be getting for Christmas this year. Whether they like great danes or not!
