Carolyn Does Great Photography




Carolyn Sawai comes to visit at Vallejo.   In addition to the warm visit and yummy sweets, one thing for sure is that she will be taking great pictures.   Many of the photos used in the posts were taken by her.  Betty is especially grateful that Carolyn recorded the rabbits being blown-groom.   The following photos are all the work of Carolyn:

Carol and Jim with Grandpuppy Visit Betty



Taking a break from rabbits, we'll feature a cute puppy today.


Hi, my name is Duke!   I am a 9 week old Corgi puppy.   



Have you ever seen a puppy car seat?  I am in it!



Carol is my grandma, my mom is Kendall.   



Jim is my grandpa.



Grandma Carol and grandpa Jim take me to visit Betty.



Hi, Betty.



I am happy to get to go have fun.  



Grandma Carol loves me.



Grandpa Jim let me have a head ride.



I have so much fun, it's exhausting for a little guy like me.   I need a nap.
