So having said that – you don’t know what kind of a monster you have created!! Some of you encouraged me to continue writing and some even said they would read what I wrote! We’ve had some interesting times and some adventures with the dogs since I last posted a meaningful update in May of 2014. Since many of you mentioned the dogs, I think I’ll go back and write a few retro posts of what has been going on since May.
Christmas is not that far past and since I didn’t greet everyone at Christmastime, I’ll catch up on that now! Merry Christmas, everyone. Hope it was a good one!
We wanted to make a Christmas card with our new doggies and so one day I set up shop in the living room and tried to get an appropriate picture. Ollie is the sweetheart when it comes to posing for pictures so most of his photos look pretty much the same. I put him in one spot and he stays there – looking pitiful – but he stays put and tries to give me his best pose. We did get a one outtake though!
I should never have used gold drapes as a backdrop on Ollie – it seemed to absorb his red/gold color and make him look more silver.
But he was a good boy and sat patiently and endured his fate.
Jewel on the other hand cannot sit still to save her life! She is a true wiggledy worm. Some of her outtakes were pretty funny.
First Russ tried to bribe her with a treat – she laid down.
He tried again and she sat up straighter – but oh what a look!
Oh Yum, good treat – where’d they go?
Here Jewel, let Daddy fix your hat.
Is this really necessary?
We finally gave up on the tall hat and traded it for a shorter one. Jewel gave up on posing.
Oh, woe is me!!!
Finally, we gave up on getting a perfect shot and used what we had. There was NO WAY to get them both in the same picture so I picked the best we had and PhotoShopped them together.
And that was our Christmas Card!
P.S. They only had to wear their costumes for the photo shoot. I took them off right after. Ollie actually likes to wear stuff – Jewel, not so much!!
