Champagne and toast for New Year's? Mrs. Sizzle thinks so!
A super fun shoot was had by all with Amy Lombard behind the camera and a wild crew on the other side! Present were Mrs. Sizzle, naturally, Mindy Montney of DOG & CO. as stylist extraordinaire and of course the mother of the furry celebrities, Katie Sturino. I had to ask the dogs a few questions this holiday season.
INEZ + VINOODH's dog, Leo Moon
Love of their lives, Ines and Vinoodh post Leo's pic every day at @INEZVINOODH. I don't know who is cuter, Leo or their son Charles!
Truls - ly you will love this insta feed called @dogsbestman
"It started with my fascination for large breeds a few years back, especially the Irish Wolfhound. I had some idea of an exhibition at the time but it did not come to pass. So I started @dogsbestman on instagram, and it proved to be quite popular, only problem was that I had run out of dog pictures after a few weeks.
Richard Phibbs is an angel of an animal lover
Photographer and gentleman. Shoots celebrities and fashion, but really does a good dog―and really IS a good human. For the past several years, Richard has devoted a big chunk of his work life to finding all of these sweet souls a home. Working with the Humane Society of New York, he goes into a tiny examination room to take arresting and compassionate portraits of these scared little creatures who need to be seen to be loved. And he has been relentless: Of the 180+ dogs Richard has photographed, the majority have found a second chance at life in a new home thanks to his brilliant photographs.

paws up for corrie wessman's animals
It is with great furry pleasure that I introduce you to this wonderful pencil portrait artist based in Chicago, Corrie Wessman. As she puts it, "My work is minimal and intentionally thoughtful with an underlying tongue in cheek theme." Her fashion animal work is very much up Mrs. Sizzle's alley so we had to dig a bit further to learn more about these wonderful pictures!
Steve, the rescue dog
This is a bit of a crazy story. My parents drove off the ferry in Orient Point, NY and in the parking lot was someone who looked suspiciously similar to me. My mother ran over to her and she did not find me but my true doppelgänger. Sure enough after looking each other up in Facebook and deciding that yes, we did in fact look like twins, we agreed to meet a year and a half or so later. Fast forward to us both instantly talking dogs and her tale of her rescue dog Steve. I gave her the assignment to write his story and I am pleased to shared it with you!
Tell me if you think that owners start looking like their dogs? Human + Hound is here to inform that question
These pictures make me so happy! What’s not to love about humans and hounds, the brainchild of Melinda Montney of DOG & CO. and her partner and photographer, Robert Stoetzel. Captured on the street, these images speak to the amazing relationship between people and their pets. I don’t know about you, but each one of these images makes me smile! So very #MrsSizzle!
Have you ever seen so many rescued animals in one house? Nancy Levine and I hadn't so we had to check it out
I have always had an eye on the Instagram account @Wolfgang2242 so when Nancy LeVine reached out to say she had just visited Steve Greig, the owner of that account, to do a shoot for her upcoming book SENIOR DOGS ACROSS AMERICA, I jumped up and down.
what do whippets and race cars have in common? Doctor Speed aka Karla Schwede
I am obsessed with these images. As a documentary photographer and journalist, Karla Schwede started photographing historic race cars and was quite drawn to the sport of capturing these fast vehicles. Her husband has a blog on race cars that is quite well known in Germany - 1300ccm.de.
Fall out inspiration for fashion hounds in stripes and solids
Eric Ogden visited the country and was besotted by Jazz
Eric Ogden, a wonderful photographer friend of mine, shot this sweet little film while visiting with his girlfriend and her family in Menomonie, Wisconsin last October. Their dog, Jasmine (or "Jazz" as she's called most of the time) was the perfectvsubject. Super playful and surprisingly cuddly for big dog, she loves her rural Wisconsin walks, and now and then chasing the elusive deer into the woods.
THE MYSTERIOUS FOUR LEGGED GUEST WHO STOLE MRS SIZZLE'S HEART
"Pets are the unrivaled masters of giving back. The pleasure they take in giving themselves to us is perhaps their greatest lesson. Like our animals, we are wired to connect, to reach out, to love. But unlike them, with us other things get in the way - jealousy, insecurity, irritation, anger. Pets help us constantly come back to what makes us human. They're a furry version of our best selves." (Arianna Huffington, THRIVE)
