Timeless Values

Timeless Values
Zachary: "Want to hear our patrol yell?"

Sure!

Timeless Values
"North, South, East, West
Golden Retrievers are the BEST!"

Dog Blog Post #1191



Their Golden Temperament, as described in the AKC Standard: "Friendly, reliable, and trustworthy."

… has much in common with the timeless values listed in the Boy Scout Law:

"A Scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly,
courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty,
brave, clean, and reverent."

Cookie Offerings?

Cookie Offerings?
Henry: "What's this? Minions with bags of Cookies!"



Cookie Offerings?
Henry: "Momma!!!"



Cookie Offerings?
Henry: "This is so unfair."



Cookie Offerings?
Zachary: "Yes, my Minions. Bring your offerings..."



Cookie Offerings?
Zachary: "Mwahahahahahaha!"


Zachary, are you making maniacal laughter again?


Cookie Offerings?
Zachary: "Must be the TV, Mom."

Funny, that's not what Henry just told me. You better not be in the Cookies again.

Those Aren't Decorations

You got what???

Cowboys and Angels
Henry: "I'm an Angel."
Zachary: "You're halo's crooked."


You were supposed to get Party Decorations...

Henry: "Sweet little ol' me."

Cowboys and Angels
Henry: "Good as gold."
Zachary: "Your halo just abandoned ship."


... for Friday's National Dog Week Party.

I guess they'll be having a Masquerade Party.

Dog Blog Post #1186


Inspired by a Country song by Dustin Lynch.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cowboys_and_Angels_(Dustin_Lynch_song)

Peaked at #2 on Billboard's Hot Country Songs.

Might have made to #1 if it had included a Golden Retriever or two.

Zachary: "It's going to be so much fun!"
Henry: "But what if nobody comes?"



Behind the Scenes



Ever notice how the things that appear trivial can often be the hardest?

One boy up and the other down (required here to avoid excessive shadows) is one of the hardest poses for me to get, as they typically like to be doing the same thing.

Throw in looking away from the camera and toward a "wall", and you have a incredibly simple looking shot that was anything but simple to get.

Wedding Heist

Wedding Heist?
Henry: "Oh bother."


Wedding Heist?
Henry: "What are you guys stealing this time? Jewels?"

Henry: "Not my problem."

Zachary, you make sure your little friends are on their best behavior, OK?

Zachary: "Yes Mom!"

Zachary: "Hear that? You need to do your best this time."

And if anything turns up missing it comes out of YOUR modeling fees.


Wedding Heist?
Zachary: (gulp)

Inviting the Minions to the Wedding was probably a bad idea, as it looks like they are making off with the jewels.
