A bit of a stretch today, but for Life Imitates Art I was inspired by drawings/paintings of Gulliver tied down by the Lilliputians in Gulliver's Travels, using those ever busy LEGOs (who are Representations of people) as my Lilliputians.

Yes, Henry is VERY patient.

The boys chose "Birds of a Feather Flock Together", as their Words To Live By since they are definitely Feathered (Golden Retrievers are known for the lush and lovely feathers) and they love to be/play together.

And Now For Something Completely Different

I rather like the effect. :)

If Every Dog Has Its Day then today must be Zachary's, as the Minions pulled off a Heist for him of the only Tender the boys recognize: Cookies.

Great.

Looks like Zachary ordered his very own Minions, and Henry (above) looks none to impressed with it.

I hope Zachary knows what he's doing!

Life Is Better With...

Neat Freak
"Cookies!"



Neat Freak
Henry: "Neat freak."



Now???
Zachary: "Mom!"



Dog Blog Post #1156



The boys definitely believe Life Is Better With... Cookies.

And while Henry is content with a jumbled bowl, Zachary - the perfectionist that he is - shows The Art of Cleanup by arranging his Cookies.

The bowl and the placement contain the exact same numbers, kinds, and colors of Cookies.

This shows the cookies they the most, plus their kibble (the Z shapes).

Their favorites are on the left - the squares and pale rectangles are Blue Buffalo, while the Cookie in the lower left is by Canidae.

No Mood To Play

Ok guys, an easy one tonight.

All I need is for you two to play a little Bitey-Face for me.


Henry
Henry: "I want to play tug."

Fine.

I'll play tug with you after the shoot is over.

But for now, why don't you be a dear and go chew on Zachary's ear.


Zachary
Zachary: "Don't want to be chewed on. Want my Lacrosse Ball."

I'll throw the ball after the shoot is over.

Promise.

Now go chew on Henry.


Henry
Henry: "Got ball. No need for Zachary."

But I need Zachary in the picture, so why don't you share.


Henry
Henry: "My ball."

I got that.

What I'm missing is Zachary.

Share.


Henry
Henry: "Don't wanna share."



Dog Blog Post #1155



Photography Assignment


None. Zip. Nada.

The topics were Friends and In Action, and my plan was for a Bitey-Face shot.

Easy right?

But I was busy during the usual photography time, and by the time I picked up the camera the boys were in no mood to pay.


The Boys
"Mischief? Us? Never!"

Way Back When

Way Back When



Dog Blog Post #1154



Golden Retrievers must have had it good in the past, as shown in this Vintage picture I found, revealing the Abundance of Cookies they were served.

(This might have had a slider or two pushed. You can find something closer to the original in the series below, although all had the saturation turned up somewhat for today.)

Way Back When
Henry: "Cookies!"
Zachary: "Can we have them now?"


Wait!

Let's try some hats.


Way Back When
Henry: "Cookies! Cookies! Cookies!"
Zachary: "How about now?"

Wait!

Let's try looking AT the cookies.

Way Back When
Zachary: "I don't suppose now?"

Wait!

How about looking at Cookies and NO hats?


Way Back When
(censored)



Editor's Note


Ever look at your pictures and realize the shot you SHOULD have taken?

Today was one of those days.

While there really are an abundance of Cookies in the bowl, it might actually have LOOKED like an abundance if I had piled them around the bowl as well.

(sigh)


Way Back When
Henry: "Zzzzzz"
Zachary: "I have got to get a new contract."
