Marissa & Arctos (17 weeks)
“Arctos is Latin for ‘grizzly bear.’ My boyfriend and I tried to adopt a puppy, but after like the fifth time the adoption fell through, so we went through a breeder.
He’s learning. He’s going to be a big dog. He’s learning the best of ways at GMVS!”
Arctos is a silver Labrador Retriever. Marissa Marleau teaches French I and Learning Services at the Green Mountain Valley School in Waitsfield.
Jerry on duty
Jerry is the greeter at Elevation Physical Therapy, in Waitsfield, Vermont. Steve Skalecke and his wife Hannah bring Jerry to work in their practice every day. “He makes people forget about their pain a little bit,” Steve says. “A healthcare environment can be so sterile, but he transitions clients nicely by easing their pain. He’s happy to see our clients.” Steve adds: “He’s great with kids – when parents come in with little kids – he’s digging that.”

When I am out on a photo assignment, I am often asked if I have a blog or portfolio, so now I do! My idea or theme for my blog comes from my dogs – I have three – and I will create a weekly photo essay about them and others I meet along the way. Think of it as a mashup of “humans of NYC” but with dogs and a happiness project. I will feature my dogs and the dogs (with their people) of the Mad River Valley, Vermont. I will post on #wagmorewednesdays and maybe some #fidofridays too. I will repost on Instagram: My Instagram user name is “skimor”. You see my theme now, right? Thank you for visiting, and please check back on Wednesday!
