Day 1 of dog days of
Summer photo challenge...and good old
Jebediah makes it looks so easy in this shot.
However, I’ll tell
you this… having a photo idea and communicating it to a dog that has no idea, is
always a challenge. And I find much different from just photo journaling their
lives.
Jebb was very obedient, and jumped right up on the seat for me…but as you can see...he was just notttt quite
getting it….and when I told him to turn
he just turned his head…lol
When I did get him to
face the camera…I couldn’t get him to look at it because now he realizes, Mommy
has treats! And he won’t take his eyes
off me. I tried placing a cookie on the
lens…nope that didn’t work.
So I came up with
this very “high tech” photography trick.
Behind me on a table
there were a bunch of plastic forks. So I picked them up and threw then in the
direction I wanted him to look. Worked like a charm.
Children don’t try
this at home. ;)
Jebediah is now
looking to contract a stunt double…he finds working for Mommy a bit too dangerous
for his liking…hahahaha
My daughter comes over and takes our pugs pictures...i have learned from watching her it is never ever ever as easy as it seems to us amateurs...lol...

I saw those pictures and loved them! I have to comment more so you know I"m there....maybe I am a creeper like my dog...lOl :) She captured them beautifully!
DeleteI was thinking that maybe you should have asked the neighbors if you could set up your camera in their backyard and aim it at your fence ... =.)
DeleteLOL Kerri...I guess that's pretty creepy to creep yourself...LOL
DeleteYou are a genius! I love the cookie on the lens :)
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Anne
No it's more like my dogs have me so well trained...not my genius...lol. But we won't tell anybody...that's just between you and I ;)
DeleteYou do have a way with people (dogs)
ReplyDeleteYes, when I stopped throwing forks at people I found my popularity growing. ;)
DeleteI don't think when you decided to start out on this photo challenge, you knew it was going to be that much work. And you've gotta keep it up for how many more days? Good luck my friend, I wish you the best :)
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure I'm going to stop by every day to see the pictures, because when I got to the part about throwing the plastic forks at Jebb, I spit out my mouth full of water all over my keyboard. My poor little computer wasn't happy with me :) But you let me know when you stand on your head to get that perfect picture and I'll be here in a heart beat minus the water.
YOU CRACK ME UP GIRLFRIEND!
Hugs,
Kim
p.s. of course you know, I'm with you every step of the way.....
Don't remind me...29 more days! Why do I do this stuff to myself! Well could be worse...I could be like those people who water their keyboards. LOL
Deletep.s. of course I do...your my bestie blogger pal ;)
Hugs!
To be on the safe side, I didn't drink anything while looking at Kiki's feet today just in case.....
ReplyDeleteMy keyboard is looking mighty clean today :)
