The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

The Boys
"What are we doing today?"

A real challenge.

I want you to lay next to a big canister of Cookies and not eat a single one.


Anticipation
"Ooooooo"


The Good
Zachary: "This is Puppy Stuff."
Henry: "If I don't look at the Cookies then they aren't there."

And Then A Rustling Occurred At The Front Door…


Alert!
"Alert! Alert"
"Arrroooooooooo!!!!"


Dog Blog Post #1342


So the boys were posing nicely (The Good) when Son spontaneously walked through the door (just as I was snapping the picture, above) after being gone all week at College.

Needless to say, any thoughts of "Stay" flew right out their brains (The Bad) as they flew out of the Kitchen, scattering an entire canister of Cookies in their wake (The Ugly).

Seriously.

Ya just can't make this stuff up.

Of course Real Photographers crawl around on the floor taking pictures of spilled Cookies before cleaning the mess up.

Cookie Tree

Cookie Tree
Zachary: "I sure hope they're ripe."


Cookie Tree
Zachary: "I can almost taste the freshness!"


Cookie Tree
Henry: "That one Momma. No, wait. Maybe the lighter one. No. No… that one."

Are you sure?

Cookie Tree
Henry: "Yup. Just give it a snip there and… although that one to left looks really good. No… wait..."

(sigh)

Cookie Tree
Henry: "I'll be quiet now."

Looks like it's going to be a good harvest this year!

Extreme

Boots
Zachary: "Those are some mighty big boots."
Henry: "Extremely big boots!"

And it would be extremely good of you to try them on for today's shoot.


Too Big
Henry: "Nope. Don't fit."

How about an extremely big hat, then.


Extreme
Henry: "Hehehe… Zachary looks funny."
Zachary: "Sweet!"


Extreme
Zachary: "No flash in MY eyes today."
Henry: "Mine either."


Extreme
"Cheesy Burgers!"

The hat and boots and visor might be a bit Extreme for the boys.

Cookie Sales

Ok, Henry, let's see a nice smile.

Cookie Sales
Henry: "Are these real Cookies or just props?"

Real Cookies, sweetie.

Nice smile, now.


Cookie Sales
(silence)

And I PROMISE you can eat some when we're through.


Cookie Sales
"Cheesy Burgers!"

Very good.

You're up Zachary.


Cookie Sales
Zachary: "Real Cookies? I'm your dog! I've got this covered. You can count on..."


Cookie Sales
Zachary: "Oops!"


Cookie Sales
Zachary: "I don't suppose you can reach that?"

The Artist

The Artist
Henry: "Cool! We get to be in a band today!"


The Artist
Zachary: "About time we have a little fun around here."

Uh, well… not exactly, boys.

That's just the prop for today's shoot.


The Artist
Zachary: "Prop?"

But you can pretend you're in a band.


The Artist
Zachary: "Oh… sure… lots of fun."


The Artist
Henry: "Just pretend?"


The Artist
Henry: "This Artist just went on strike."


Dog Blog Post #1338



The boys just weren't "feeling" the prop today.

And it showed.

International Dog Biscuit Appreciation Day

Close your eyes, boys.

I have a special treat for you tonight!


Layered Cookies
Zachary: "Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy!"


Now you can look, but you can't eat them.


Layered Cookies
"But…"


Layered Cookies
"But… but… but..."


Layered Cookies
Zachary: "You really do hate us, don't you?"
Henry: "Momma, not fair!"


Dog Blog Post #1337



For International Dog Biscuit Appreciation Day (who knew?) I created Layers of Cookies and Peanut Butter for the boys.

Yum!

And yes, of course they got to eat them as soon as I was done shooting.

That's a Toy?

Bitey Face
Henry: "Guess what I have…." (whisper whisper whisper)


Bitey Face
Zachary: "Share?"


Bitey Face
Zachary: "It's got to be here somewhere."
Henry: "Hey, no tickling!"


Bitey Face
Zachary: "Found it!"


Bitey Face
Henry: "It's mine!"


Dog Blog Post #1336



Who are we to decide what is and isn't a Toy?

Here, Henry Motivated Zachary to play a game Bitey-Face by waving this scrap of cardboard around as I was setting up for the shoot.

This wasn't what I had intended on shooting for the challenges, but its spontaneity won me over in the end.

Canine Olympic Skiing 2018

Future Olympian
The determined veteran


Future Olympian
The cocky young upstart


Future Olympian
Zachary: "You'll never catch me, pup!"


Future Olympian
Henry: "Eat my snow, old dog."


Dog Blog Post #1335



Alpine Skiing first appeared as an Olympic sport in 1936 with just 2 events - the Men's and Women's Combined.

Today, there are 10 events - 5 each for Men's and Women's (Downhill, Slalom, Giant Slalom, Super-G, and Super Combined)

Looks like the boys are hoping they'll add a Canine category for 2018!

Here's Zachary, looking the part of the determined veteran.
