Photobombing

Henry: "Hey!"

Henry: "This is my shoot."

Henry: "Move it!"

Well, wasn't that rude.

Dog Blog Post #1089

I'd asked Henry to Park himself on the sofa for today's shoot and guess who goes sauntering by, just in time for World Sauntering Day.

Behind the Scenes

Yes, of course this was set up.

No, perhaps surprisingly, it wasn't easy. Any shoot where the boys aren't doing the same thing is always a bit (and sometimes a lot!) more challenging.

First it was keeping Zachary from wanting to join Henry on the sofa.

Then it was stopping Henry from jumping off the sofa to join Zachary.

Then it was keeping Henry from moving when I called Zachary toward me. I'm off camera to the left and Zachary begins just off camera to the right, in a sit.

Then it was getting Zachary moving again after I'd just told Henry to stay.

And THEN, after ALL that, and I have the action on cue reliably, I start taking pictures only to find I have the camera on the wrong setting and it's refusing to fire because Zachary is moving.

Reset camera.
Reset Henry.
Reset Zachary.

Action!

It's the Little Things

Zachary: "Ah... nothing like settling down to a good book. Let's see, what do we have today..."

Zachary: "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, by Lewis Carroll and The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame."

Zachary: "Mom, hold my calls!"

Dog Blog Post #1088

I think it's All The Small Things in life - like getting lost in the pages of a good book, if only few a few moments each day - that keep us sane in this far too busy world.

While my tastes typically run to non-fiction these days, I picked up this pair - The Wind and the Willows and Alice's Adventures in Wonderland - a few months back after ODC had the Down the Rabbit Hole challenge.

I was an avid reader as a child, still am today, and I must say I heartily enjoyed rereading both of them.

Of course, I then had to ride Mr. Toad's Wild Ride (and take a picture of Mr. Badger's plaque while standing in line) when we went to Disneyland last month. :)

Another Country Heard From

Henry: "I'd much rather snuggle up with a friend."

Henry: "Wouldn't you?"

Name Doodles

Zachary: "She'll pick mine as best, Henry. I just know it."

Zachary, don't be rude.

Henry: "That means likes mine best. Pfththththt."
Zachary: "Hey!"

If I don't get some posing out of you two I'm going to choose Miss Kitty's as best and give her all the cookies.

That's more like like it.

Perfect!

Zachary: "So, which is it?"
Henry: "Which is your favorite?"

I love both of them equally well, just as I love you two equally.

Zachary: "She loves me."
Henry: "Aw-shucks."

Zachary is my thinker - one of those "Smarter than your honor student" sort of Golden Retrievers. He is quick of mind and body, is obsessed with learning and orange Lacrosse Balls, and loves cookies.

Lots of cookies.

He is a stylish dog with a noble profile and looks quite dashing in a top hat. If he slimmed down a bit he could double as Fred Astaire.

Henry is a lover - as soft on the inside as he looks on the outside. He's gentle and sweet, loves snuggling and cuddling, and cookies.

Lots of cookies.

With perpetual Bed Head, the more relaxed Fedora is definitely Henry's style. Add a trench coat and he could stand in for Lt. Colombo (Peter Falk) or Humphrey Bogart.
