Another Busy Week and Much Use of the Doodle Launcher

Mom is busy with her photography class, which means she's taking a zillion photos of us (and a few other doggies - if you want to see her photos of other doggies, go check out her latest homework assignment submission).   But the good thing about Mom taking a PET photography class is that we are actively involved in her homework assignments.  So it's definitely not all work and no play.  Especially not for us!

We've been getting in tons of tennis ball action.

 

 

 

 

 

  

And in all this action, we have photographic proof that Abby really does have a clown nose!

The Doodle Launcher was also used quite a bit this week.  I think Mom needs to do a few adjustments on the Launcher.  Or Abby needs to have her own springs checked...

Invisible sky hook?

It's amazing she lands these launches!

Abby is also preparing herself for the Doodle Rapture!

As usual, Mom got a bunch of 'portraits' of us, and since Mom has a 1 pound bag of liver treats, we were happy to comply.

 

More liver treats?!?  By all means!

The last of the leaves (the aspens) are turning colors and getting ready to fall off (Mom is 'waiting' for those leaves to drop before she does the raking....), and we were able to help Mom get some pictures of the Fall colors.

Mom's next homework assignment has to do with studio photos.  Luckily she still has plenty of liver treats, and so we'll definitely help her with this next assignment, too!

Have a great week!

In Which We Are Very Busy and Now Very Nekkid

We had a busy week.  We finally got our interwebs back (which was a good thing, as Mom was getting a little twitchy), and Mom spent a ton of time taking photos of us for her pet photography class (so she can learn to take better photos of us, of course!).

For Mom's last class assignment, she though we should all go to the park so she could get some action shots.  We were more than happy to comply!

Seriously, any class assignment that involves us going to the park is a totally awesome assignment!  Mom submitted her photos (these were her submissions, if you are curious - they all had to be in natural light, one inside, one outside and one of the location of her choice).

Her next assignment has to do with 'perspective' - with all that entails.  She has to get a head shot, a 3/4 body shot and a full body shot.  She's contemplating the photos she wants, so we have again been recruited.  Luckily, Mom has a BIG bag of liver treats!

Somewhere in all of this, Mom decided we were a wee bit shaggy and that we needed haircuts.  Something to do with us going on a walkie when it was 34F, precipitating lightly and we were panting from being hot...

So, haircuts we received....

This would be my, "Dad, help me!  Please!" look.  It didn't work.

But when it was all over (there were more liver treats involved, BTW), we were nekkid - and much cooler.

And much more aerodynamical!

I'm not sure if being less aerodynamical would have helped Abby in this case...

However, the haircuts seems to help with the effectiveness of the Doodle Launcher.

And we have a grand time with tennis ball action.  Mom finds this next photo very amusing - something about how she hears the theme from 'The Good, The Bad and The Ugly' every time she sees it.  Needless to say, we have No Idea What She Is Talking About.  All I know is that much bitey-face ensued shortly after this photo was taken...

Since the haircuts, we have continued to help Mom with her 'perspective' photos.

"These are not the droids you are looking for.  And you want to give me your ham sandwich."

Mom loves this angle.  And I love the liver treats!

Three-quarters of  a dog!

Apparently this is a perspective, too.  I call it a doofus!

Have a great week!

A Short Post

Our interwebs at home have been temporarily interrupted, so while Mom is still taking photos like crazy, she hasn't been able to help us update the world on our goings-on.  However, here is our weekend in an easy to digest form...

Mom took a ton of photos of us for her photography class....  She's still trying to figure out which ones to submit for her homework assignment...

Abby was up to no good (as usual)....

Trying to figure out if she can help herself to Mom's breakfast before Mom notices...

Attempting (and failing) to look remorseful for dashing down the hill to greet a doggie on the street.  (Mom has since gone to Home Depot for fencing and has secured the perimeter.)

Abby putting herself in jail, temporarily.

We got in plenty of tennis ball action (and while Mom didn't put any action shots on her flash drive, there was plenty of action!)

Abby got in plenty of roaching....

And Mom met this rather handsome wolf-Malamute hybrid doggie named Moose.  She kept going on about his eyes.  I have to admit, they are rather striking!

And there you have it - we are alive, just internet-less at home!

Have a great week!
