This blog has been here for close to 2 years now and I just looked at the profile picture. Well yes there's five dogs and the blonde, but really and truly it's now SIX dogs. I can still say Five Dogs as the Border Collie is my husband's dog. Since I'm now writing for Front and Finish as a correspondent, they ordered up a picture to go along with the column. Hubby and I traipsed out into the miserable humidity with all six dogs. It was not a pretty photo session. I was sweating and hot, the dogs were panting, and Daisy the BC has always thought that cameras steal your soul and was cowering. To get her to pose successfully you need to run her until she's too tired to care. But in this heat she would've stroked out. So, we eliminated her from the photo session after several tries and tried just the five Shelties. Now Dusty was too tired to sit. We had him lay down and the others sitting behind him. Pinch began to squirm. Sweat was now dripping down my back and my hair began to explode in weird frizzy tendrils. Hubby was getting cranky from my continuous "helpful hints" (Take the picture NOW, make interesting noises, their ears are all up HURRY!) At the end we had a lot of pictures of Daisy running out of the photograph, me yelling and Pinch at various odd angles. Suffice it to say it was not a successful photo session.
I finally eliminated all dogs but the young'uns to send something off to Front and Finish.
Next week it's to cool down, so we may try again. You'll know becuase there will be a new profile pic. Please congratulate us if this happens as you know it's not easy getting six dogs to look in one direction and be correctly posed along with their owner at the same time.
God bless all those kiddie and animal photographers out there.
