PO LI CE LO GS By Cathy Wilson I once saw a gorgeous quilt made up of "patches of friends" that were truly significant to the quilter. She wanted to express her tribute to them in a very special way. Instead of faces, she made each square expressing their in- dividual talents. It was ap- parent that she was very close to them and it was her way of sharing their love. Since then, I always wanted to have a friend- ship quilt in my garden. In- stead of material, I would use shared plants. I would mark them with perma- nent tags with the name of the friend and the date given to me. Gardeners are known to be generous folks always sharing treasures from their yards. What better way to share your grati- tude than to honor them in this way? I have never accom- plished my friendship quilt but now is the time. I will begin with plants already given to me. It will be fun and a way to remember, to celebrate my relationships. Whenever I have lost a cherished family member, dear friend or pet, I have always established an area in my garden special to their memory. I've either planted a unique shrub or acquired a piece of garden art or statuary in order to focus on their live, not on their death. When I finish with my past memories, I will be free to create new memo- ries. Then once my friend- ship garden is begun, I will be content and satisfied. I hope that it will inspire others to do so as well. If you find your plant in my garden, you will know that you are very special to me. The Red Bluff Garden Club welcomes the public to attend our next meet- ing which is May 27th. The speaker is Matt Stau- dacher and he will be pre- senting the program on Penny Pines. Refresh- ments are served at 12:30 and the program at 1:00 at the Union Hall, 12889 Baker Rd., Red Bluff.

By Sue Manning The Associated Press LOSANGELES It takes more than a squeaky toy and a camera to capture memora- ble pet portraits. Professional pet photog- raphers in the increasingly competitive business quiz owners about their dogs' personalities, find the ideal setting and use favorite toys to bring out the best in the animals they shoot, knowing that portraits will outlive the pets themselves. "I spend time getting them to trust me so I can reach into their soul," said Rachael Hale McKenna of New Zealand, who just re- leased her 15th book, "The Dogs of New York." Twenty years ago, most people didn't think to put their pet in a family photo or on the annual Christmas card. Today, both are likely to be built around a beloved animal. And the older a pet gets, the more people think about professional portraits. McKenna and two other well-known pet photogra- phers live continents apart and all specialize in candid photos of dogs in their fa- vorite places, not in a studio. They spend time with people and pets before the session starts, and they know the importance of immortaliz- ing aging animals. Jenna Leigh Teti of Jer- sey City, New Jersey offers a package for very old or ter- minally ill dogs. "It's an important shoot for me, a special thing to cap- ture for someone," she said. "And it's happening more frequently." To catch the quirks that bring photos to life, Teti and Los Angeles-area photogra- pher Lori Fusaro send let- ters before an appointment. Teti asks clients to pick out a celebrity their dog resem- bles for clues about their re- lationship. A bulldog owner named Tony Soprano, the ma- fia boss on the HBO series. The owner of a small mixed breed cited Cary Grant, "be- cause he really knew how to charm the ladies with his dance moves." Teti's methods have cre- ated lasting memories for Zarina Mak and her a pair of rescue mutts. "You know when you look at the photo that these dogs are family members and not just discarded dogs," said Mak, who had the pooches photographed twice and plans more as they age. Photo sessions usually take an hour or so, the pho- tographers said, and their prices vary, from $175 to $500. Fusaro has come up with some go-to spots: an outdoor dog heads to a hiking trail; a couch potato gets a sofa; and an active pooch frolics on a beach. She never heads out without a squeaky toy, an- imal calls and her "secret weapon," a coach's whistle. "It only works once" to get pooches' attention, Fu- saro said. In front of the camera, some dogs are timid and some are hams, McKenna said, but her secret for a suc- cessful shoot with any ca- nine personality is patience. "Never force an animal to do anything," McKenna said. "If an animal doesn't want to do it, you are not going to get the image you are after any- way." There's not much forc- ing to get Mak's two mutts to mug. She snaps them fre- quently on her cellphone, but Teti was able to capture something deeper without intruding. "I could never get the true joy of them on the cellphone," Mak said.
