Wordless Wednesday


Now make sure the fabric edges line up evenly…

Great Cookie Heist
Zachary: "Bwhahahaha!"

Dog Blog Post #1554



Ah yes, the joys of living with a dog with a Vivid imagination.

(Vivid Magnet? Vivid Green String?)

Daily Dog Challenge 1062. "Try It"

This is a first with my new "ACME" magnet.

Folks might recall seeing it in progress a while back when the boys were working on it as their craft project for the "Beginning/Ending" challenge in ODC.

This was also the first time I've tried "levitating" an item.

Behind the Scenes

Zachary: "Oh Mom, you're going to ruin it!"

Note the black construction paper covered paint can under the Cookie fabric covered bear can.

It was removed from the shot up top, and then the fabric covered bear can and magnet were moved up bit.

Hate selfies.

Love my blue microfiber drool rag.

Yes, that's my camera remote in my left (non-rag) hand.

I love that, too!

Primped and Pampered
Henry: "Ahhhhhhh"

That wasn't so bad, was it?

Primped and Pampered
Henry: "Pfththththth"

Just kidding - Henry absolutely loves being "raked", and will sit there for as long as I'm willing to brush him.

And yes, he is STILL shedding.

Always shedding.

If there were a market for shed dog fur I'd be rich.

Once again, camera remote in my left (non-rake) hand.

What Kind of Photography?

… wow… I had such a hard time with this challenge.

I bet everyone is so surprised with what a chose. :)


Photography Assignment


Our Daily Challenge - Sep 25, 2014 - "What Kind of Photography"

Daily Dog Challenge 1059. "My Best Side"

Henry looks good at just about any angle except a true profile. Something about the set of his eyes and the planes of muzzle - it just doesn't "work".

I find that rather funny, as I think Zachary looks best in profile.

Why Henry Wears The Tigger Hat


Seriously Mom?
Zachary: "This is so humiliating."

Zachary: "That would be 270 days… or 6480 hours… or…."
Henry: "Not helping."

Around Town I'm seeing fall decorations and parents walking their kids to school.

The parents always look a lot happier than the kids do.

FWIW: The Number One prop in my box is the hat.

There's just something about a dog in a hat that makes me smile.
