New Year's Resolution

New Year's Resolution
Zachary - steadfast in his Diet Resolution...


New Year's Resolution
… aided by LOTS of sticky tape

Does that mean I can stop paying your Modeling Fee?


New Year's Resolution
(blink)


New Year's Resolution
Zachary: "No Cookies? No Contract!"
Henry: "Pfthththththth"

I'll take that as a "No".

Good luck with that, boys.

Counting Down...

Happy New Years
Zachary: "And we want to wish all our friends…"


Happy New Year
Zachary: "… a safe and Happy New Year's Eve."


Happy New Year
Zachary: (burp!)
Henry: "He he he"


Happy New Year
Zachary: "… and then the cat… and then the cat… the cat…"


Blooper Shot
Zachary: "Ooops!"

The Boys ringing in the New Year.

No, of course they weren't drinking anything but water!

Zachary just has a harder time keeping a hat on his head.

I typically toss shots like this, but he was on a roll (as was the hat) and it fit so well with the topic that I went ahead and uploaded a few.

Zachary: "We got jobs as bartenders."
Henry: "Easy money, Momma. A few licks and a swipe with the cloth.."

Licks???

You can't just lick the glasses clean.

Nobody is going to want to drink out of a glass you just licked!

Merry Christmas

Silent Night….

Merry Christmas

Dog Blog Post #1642



The Boys in front of our impromptu Christmas Tree.

Due to Family Plans, we'd decided to forgo the yearly tree.

However, Christmas Eve rolled around and it just didn't feel like Christmas.

So I pulled out my old Aluminum tripod and wound it with copious amounts of the pine garland we used in the prior house to decorate railing our current house does not have.

Some gold tinsel garland, a string of lights, the Angel on top, and some batting for snow to hide the legs created a rather nice little tree!

'Twas the Night Before Christmas - Part 8

He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,

And filled all the stockings…

Stocking Stuffer
Zachary: "That should do it."

… then turned with a jerk.

And laying his finger aside of his nose,


And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose!

Golden Garland
Henry: "Little help here. Santa? Santa???"


He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,

Santa's Reindeer
"Huh?"

And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.

But I heard him exclaim, ‘ere he drove out of sight,


Merry Christmas
"Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night!"

'Twas the Night Before Christmas - Part 7

Editor's Note: With the Director preoccupied watching the San Francisco 49ers vs. San Diego Chargers, the actors are left in charge of today's post…

His eyes-how they twinkled! his dimples how merry!


His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!


Twinkling Eyes
Henry: "Cherry?"

His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,


And the beard of his chin was as white as the snow.



Chin
Zachary: "Grrrrr"

The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth,

And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath.

(BZ Dogs does not condone the use of tobacco products by dogs under the age of 18.)

He had a broad face and a little round belly,

That shook when he laughed, like a bowlful of jelly!

Laughing Dog
Henry: "Ho Ho Ho!"

He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf,

And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself!


Chubby and Plump
Zachary: "I am not plump!"

A wink of his eye and a twist of his head,


Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread.

Twist of his Head
"Rooooaaaar!!!!"
