Blooper Day

Admitting defeat for the day, I chose one of the better "blooper" shots as the Shot Of The Day...

Dogs Love Trucks


… as the rest were pretty much write-offs due to bad exposure - caused by the camera giving way too much importance to that little bit of shiny chrome by the Truck's cab…


Dogs Love Trucks


Dogs Love Trucks


… or that darned antenna being poorly placed (in pretty much EVERY shot)…

Alas, neither problem was readily apparent on the little LCD screen at the time I was shooting. :(

In all shots, Zachary is on the left and Henry on the right.

Golden Party

Golden Party
Zachary: "I'm a King!"
Henry: "I'm dressed like a girl."

No, Henry, no.

You're a Knight in Shining Armor.


Golden Party
Henry: "Sir Henry?"
Zachary: "In a dress."

Most definitely the Brave and Valiant Sir Henry.


Golden Party
Henry: "I'm Brave and Valuable."
Zachary: "And wearing a dress."

Valiant.

Brave and Valiant.

Golden Party
Henry: "Sir Henry the Valuable!"
Zachary: "Still think it looks like a dress."

That's right sweetie - King Zip It and Sir Henry the Valuable.

Time Passes…



Golden Party
"Row row row your bone..."

Puzzled Pups

Puzzle Pups
Zachary: "Done."
Henry: "Look at the pretty colors."


Puzzle Pups
"Cookie time!"

No Cookies until you BOTH have finished your puzzles.

Puzzle Pups
Zachary: "But… but… but…"
Henry: "Hmmm"


Done
Zachary: "This is so unfair."
Henry: "Look at the pretty colors."



Puzzle Pups
Zachary: "Not fair, Mom! Henry just feel asleep!"

Compared to yesterday's game of Bitey-Face, today's activity was very Tranquil.


… and yes, I raided Son's room for the Cubes.

There must a be a dozen in all shapes, sizes and colors to choose from!

Bitey-Face

As the past few shoots were rather involved, I decided to give the boys the day off.

No big surprise how they spent their "free" time…


Bitey-Face


Bitey-Face


Bitey-Face

… of course they still insisted on their nightly allotment of Modeling Cookies!

Dog Blog Post #1311



A simple game of Bitey-Face Altered my mild-mannered Goldens into something… else.

But only in photos.

In real life they are typically laying on their backs and gently waving their paws at each other while spending the vast majority of their time comparing Fearsome Faces.

Because of that, images #1, 3, 5, and 6 were rotated for increased fierceness (above) or goofiness (below).

Sharp Dressed Dog

Sharp Dressed Dog
Henry: "Now this is more like it."

A pleasant change from yesterday's prison garb?

Sharp Dressed Dog
Henry: "Shhhh… don't remind them."


Sharp Dressed Dog
Zachary: "Did somebody say prison? Mr. Zachary Esq. Attorney-at-law at your service."

Weren't you wearing stripes yesterday?


Sharp Dressed Dog
Zachary: "Assistant - hand me one of those Slander Lawsuits."

Every girl's crazy 'bout a Sharp dressed dog.

Daily Dog Challenge 819. "A Telling Portrait"

Good looking but a touch informal - either from his natural Bed Head fur or with the addition of sun glasses - that's Henry.

Turned out immaculately with an understated elegance - that's Zachary.

Jail Bird Dogs

Jail Bird Dogs
Henry: "This is so humiliating."
Zachary: "You'll be fine."


Jail Bird Dogs
Henry: "Here, let me help you with that."
Zachary: "Thanks."


Jail Bird Dogs
Henry: "Oh, the indignity of it all."
Zachary: "Really, it's not that bad."


Jail Bird Dogs
Henry: "I want my lawyer."
Zachary: "I am your lawyer."



Dog Blog Post #1309



Today's challenge combo was a real challenge, and I ended up with:

Song: "Stripes"

A country song about a woman who catches her man in bed with another woman…

"The only thing keepin' me from losin' my head

[CHORUS:]
Is I hate stripes and orange ain't my color
And if I squeeze that trigger tonight
I'll be wearin' one or the other
There's no crime of passion worth a crime of fashion
The only thing savin' your life
Is that I don't look good in orange and I hate stripes"

Sung by Brandy Clark

The boys and Bear trying out an old form of Communication.

No, I didn't scrounge in Son's room for props today.

Bear is mine and has been with me the past 35 years, more or less. :)
