Not my (toy) friend!

Well I was going to use this neat vintage toy I have along with Lil Ricky for the word toy. But Ricky was so flipping afraid of it I couldn’t get her to come near it.  So I was going to scratch the whole thing altogether ….but after looking through the pictures and laughing so hard at how scared she was I had to use one. 

(I know I’m such a mean Mommy).

It just shocked me she was so afraid of it, because she isn’t afraid of anything! Not even the Pit Bulls. In fact she runs right up on Jebediah’s face and jumps on it.  Well it looks like little’s Miss Queen Bee Ricky met her match. 

Canine (Toothbrush) Wear

I have to say this was the hardest word thus far into my dog days of summer photo challenge.  I even called my daughter and said 

“if you come up with any idea for toothbrush let me know”. 

Yes, I just admitted to trying to cheat….lol

Years ago, before people started brushing their dogs teeth…this picture would have been so out of the box. 

And if the word had been, toothbrush “holder”…this shot would have been it hands down!

I’m sure you have all heard the expression

“Necessity is the Mother of invention” 

Well it became just that.

My need for a photo drove me to invent a whole new line of dog wear made from toothbrushes boiled in water and reshaped into doggie headbands. 

I will call it

"Canine” Toothbrush Wear…hehehe

 Happy Sunday everyone and remember...

SUNDAY IS FUN DAY!

The (Tree) of "long" life

Our enchanted tree that turns all dogs into Dachshund.

Now you know the secret to why we have so many Doxies  ;)

Bear (feet)

I have not only spent hours and hours and years and years working with dogs.  I have also in that time studied every inch of my dogs.  And I knew exactly what I wanted to do for the photo challenge word feet.

So my willing subject Kiki (for lots of belly rubbings) is going to demonstrate what I love about doggie feet. 

But in order to see what I really want you to see in this photo…I had to crop it and turn it upside down…

Yes, I love that every little puppy carries around his own widdle teddy bear everywhere they go. :)

Now go look at your doggies feet and check it out for yourself….cause I know you wanna….lol

Self Portrait

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 dog is a creeper

I am not a nosey neighbor whatsoever.  I care about my neighbors… but could really care less about what they are doing.

However, Jebediah is the nosiest creature I have ever encountered.

And if my neighbors knew how much he watched them they would probably be really creeped out. LOL

Dog Days Of Summer...

...That is what I am calling my 30 day photo challenge.  

So why did I decide on that?

I’m glad you asked…lol

I thought…

What do I photograph the most of? …dogs

What do I HAVE the most of? …dogs

What is this blog mostly about?...dogs

So that’s how I came up with… 

Starting August 1^st 

Brilliant, huh!

And now I know your asking... so what’s the challenge Anna banana?

Wow, you guys ask the greatest questions...lol

Well I took a photo challenge list meant for a person, but I am somehow going to incorporate a dog into each shot….and I will try to think out of the box.

So here is the list…ohhhh the pressure.
