More pictures than we know what to do with

Posted : 12/11/2006 11:17:13 AM

So we have a close friend who is a photographer and we asked her to come over on Sunday and take some pictures of us and the dogs to include in holiday cards, and frame to give to our parents. Sunday was a gorgeous day and we went to the park down the street from our house. It was pretty funny because the dogs were totally not cooperating and were getting all stressed and weirded out being made to sit still and pose. There are several pictures in which Conrad looks as if he's being included in a textbook on canine calming signals. Here a yawn, there a tongue-flick, everywhere a submissive grimmace.

Anyway, here's some links to a few that I thought the dog-lovers would enjoy. They are on our friend's website and are copyrighted to her.

haha... no, no one likes to cooperate when the camera is out. The pictures are great though!

Cheesey Poofs? ~LMAO~ I LOVE that shot.

Is Marlowe as big a baby as he appears in his first shot? It's so adorable. I love his second shot. He's clearly saying "mama, I wuv you!"

Heh, rest assured that he is in fact a much much bigger baby than he appears! I pick him up like that all the time because after having Conrad around for all those years, a dog that I am actually physically capable of lifting is quite a novelty!

Just another reason why I'm in love with Marlowe. [

That second one is hysterical. [][] That one should definitely be on the front of a dog treat bag, along with the caption.
