The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

"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.

"Ooooooo"

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"
"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.

The Aftermath

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

Cookie Tree

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

Zachary: "I can almost taste the freshness!"

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

Are you sure?

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

(sigh)

Henry: "I'll be quiet now."

Extreme

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.

Henry: "Nope. Don't fit."

How about an extremely big hat, then.

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

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

"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.

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

Real Cookies, sweetie.

Nice smile, now.

(silence)

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

"Cheesy Burgers!"

Very good.

You're up Zachary.

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

Zachary: "Oops!"

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

Dog Blog Post #1339

They could sell me anything. :)

The Artist

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

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

Uh, well… not exactly, boys.

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

Zachary: "Prop?"

But you can pretend you're in a band.

Zachary: "Oh… sure… lots of fun."

Henry: "Just pretend?"

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!

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

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

"But…"

"But… but… but..."

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?

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

Zachary: "Share?"

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

Zachary: "Found it!"

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

The determined veteran

The cocky young upstart

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

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.
