Rebecca Harrison Reed and Dandy
Dandy and I had the pleasure of taking time with Rebecca Harrison Reed for a photo shoot last week. Rebecca is a talented illustrator and writer. She has been using Dandy, along with some of our other animals, as a reference for the book she is currently working on. (Only Cows Allowed, written by Lynn Plourde) Rebecca’s husband, Justin, was the photographer for the day and did a fabulous job directing Rebecca while I tried to keep Dandy looking toward the camera.
Since Dandy has her winter coat I brought her inside to try to clean her up a bit. She was a mess! At that point we had mud on the ground instead of the snow we have now and Dandy was very grateful to be inside (she is the “princess” of the farm!).
Rebecca and Justin arrived at the farm after lunch. They both spent time getting to know Dandy in a stall before heading out on the farm. It was fun to watch the three interact and in the end Dandy was happy to be petted and stand for the photos. My favorite part was watching Rebecca finally settle in and feel comfortable with Dandy since I know how sweet Dandy is.
I am looking forward to seeing Only Cows Allowed when it publishes in 2011. Rebecca also mentioned she is working on writing and publishing another book. If you have a child or are a child at heart you should definitely check out her work!
Rebecca is doing a great job walking Dandy for the first time!
*Thanks to Justin and Rebecca for letting me use these photos for my blog!
