Pretty dogs get lots of Cookies.

A nice big handful of Cookies.

And here's your big handful of Cookies.

Zachary: "I could get used to this."

(Vivid Magnet? Vivid Green String?)

Daily Dog Challenge 1062. "Try It"

This is a first with my new "ACME" magnet.

Folks might recall seeing it in progress a while back when the boys were working on it as their craft project for the "Beginning/Ending" challenge in ODC.

This was also the first time I've tried "levitating" an item.

Behind the Scenes

Zachary: "Oh Mom, you're going to ruin it!"

Note the black construction paper covered paint can under the Cookie fabric covered bear can.

It was removed from the shot up top, and then the fabric covered bear can and magnet were moved up bit.

Up close and personal

The Making Of…

Making the magnet was way more work than I thought it was going to be!

Zachary: "Makeup!"

Zachary: "Don't miss any spots."

Zachary: "That tickles!"

Zachary:  "Really Mom, I think I'm ready."

Hate selfies.

Love my blue microfiber drool rag.

Yes, that's my camera remote in my left (non-rag) hand.

I love that, too!

Henry: "Ahhhhhhh"

That wasn't so bad, was it?

Henry: "Pfththththth"

Just kidding - Henry absolutely loves being "raked", and will sit there for as long as I'm willing to brush him.

And yes, he is STILL shedding.

Always shedding.

If there were a market for shed dog fur I'd be rich.

Once again, camera remote in my left (non-rake) hand.

Good point.

How about a Fedora and dramatic lighting?

Daily Dog Challenge 1059. "My Best Side"

Henry looks good at just about any angle except a true profile. Something about the set of his eyes and the planes of muzzle - it just doesn't "work".

I find that rather funny, as I think Zachary looks best in profile.

Why Henry Wears The Tigger Hat

Zachary: "This is so humiliating."

Zachary: "Off to school with you."
Henry: "How much longer until summer?"

Zachary: "He he he, nine months Pup."
Henry: "Nine?"

Zachary: "That would be 270 days… or 6480 hours… or…."
Henry: "Not helping."

Dog Blog Post #1550

Around Town I'm seeing fall decorations and parents walking their kids to school.

The parents always look a lot happier than the kids do.

FWIW: The Number One prop in my box is the hat.

There's just something about a dog in a hat that makes me smile.
