I am very excited to kick off June with this post! A couple of weeks ago I had the great honor of photographing Country Music Hall-of-Famer, Emmylou Harris with her adoptable dogs from Bonaparte’s Retreats. Bonaparte’s was founded in memory of Emmylou’s beloved dog, Bonaparte, to rescue dogs whose time had expired at Metro Animal Control. By rescuing these dogs, they not only save the lives of numerous dogs but are committed to finding them loving, forever homes. The team at Bonaparte’s is incredibly compassionate and Heather, the editor of Nashville Paw Magazine, and I had such a great time with them and the adoptable pups. I just feel so fortunate to get to work with those who lead such inspiring lives and everyone at Bonaparte’s Retreat and Nashville Paw do just that. If you are looking to add a furry companion to your family, please contact Kate at Bonaparte’s. All of these dogs are looking for their family.
Nashville Paw hit the stands today. Be sure to drop by your favorite pet shop and pick up a copy! On the right is another favorite of mine. He’s Lil’ Henry and is such a sweet guy.
Emmylou shares a sweet moment with Preacher Henry in Bonaparte’s bunkhouse.
Delilah is such a lover and enjoys a good ol’ belly rub. Here is another favorite of the cover dog, Suki with Emmylou.

Oh My GOD! I’m SOOO glad you have a picture of Lil Henry on here!!! I have a “history” with him!!! I was fortunate to speak with Kate about him at the Metro Animal Control event this year. He will always have a special place in my heart! I LOVE that dog and I hope he find the BEST family ever. I was ecstatic when I found out that he had gone to Bonaparte’s Retreat!! Oh–how I would love to be able to do this kind of work with my life!
I have always loved EmmyLou Harris, as she was one of my Dad’s favorite singers, something he passed along to me. Then to find out a couple of years ago how much she does to help dogs here in middle TN, just solidified my admiration. Great pictures for a great cause!
