As somebody usually, asks... no, this is not their actual food/water bowl. It's only trotted out as a prop, which is why it is so clean, scratch free, and shiny.

Even a Stainless Steel bowl this size is too light weight and the boys would push it around. Plus, the rubber around the base is hard to keep clean.

The boys use simple, heavy ceramic bowls that are easy to keep clean and always stay put.

Their bowls sit on pet placements - one for each dog, side by side - which have a shallow lip to keep the water they invariably slosh over the edge from spilling out across the floor.

Balancing Act

Steady Boys!

Two Golden Dogs balancing Two Golden Cookies on their nose. (Noses?)

I had hoped to make the stacks three high, but balancing Cookies is really hard for Zachary (left).

I've stacked them six high on Henry's nose before - the limit of my own stacking ability, in part due to the lack of symmetry in the Cookies themselves.

Alas, Holding Still (Doing Nothing) is most definitely NOT one of Mr. Zachary's Special Powers, so two Cookies it is.

It's not for lack of trying - you can see in the picture how hard he's concentrating. But try as he might, those Cookie just seem to slip off his muzzle.

Meanwhile, Henry's just sitting there. And will keep sitting there, looking just like that, for pretty much as long as I need to get a shot.

Tip: Stacking Cookie on a single dog is pretty easy. I usually pre-stack on the floor, then pick up the whole stack and set it on the muzzle. Ta-da!

Stacking on two dogs is harder, because they either want to look at the Cookies on each other's muzzles, or they watch me working on the other dog and their muzzles dip.

My solution is to put my left forearm under their muzzles, like a shelf, to keep them even while I'm stacking with my right hand and then step away when I'm done.

Dog Days

Henry - King of the Pillow

Dog Blog Post #2455

The pillow rests on the sofa.

The paw rests on the pillow.

The chin rests on the paw.

What's the secret to Happily Ever After?

Eat. Play. Nap.

Lather. Rinse. Repeat.

It seems to be working for Henry.
