canine guinea pigs

I recently got a new lens (yahoo!) that I wanted to play with – and, of course, I made my pups be the test subjects.  First up was Belle… also known as America’s Next Top Dog Model.   I told her to smile with her eyes.

Bear’s not so into the whole modeling thing so his test shots were a little more artsy.  (He was exhausted after a romp with a pug and a pbgv in about 98% humidity.)

But you can always count on Bear to perk right up if he hears the word “treat.”  Piglet.

cheap date

Scruffy’s one cheap date.  All it takes to entertain her is a leaf blower.  She’s not particularly helpful, but she definitely makes yard work more amusing.

She’s such a clown.  With a rubber face.

Bear tries to snap at the air when I point the blowdryer at him — but Scruffy actually tries to put her mouth on the end of the blower.  I can’t imagine why she wants air blown down her throat, but who am I to judge?!?

She’s equally as enamored with the hose – particularly when the misting attachment is on.  Luckily it’s not a problem blowing her dry!

Becky (rksquared) - Oh my gosh those pictures are hilarious! I imagine that is what Phaneuf is like when she’s “attacking” the blow dryer at Petsmart. She also loves when we get the hose out. She bites at the water and tries to stick her mouth right on the attachment. Crazy mutts. 🙂

Amanda Hobbs - These photos made my day! Just hilarious! Wonderful work.

Dot - The leaf blower must be like having the car/truck window down and head out in the breeze. These are hysterical! 😉

Emilee - Wow. This totally made my day! Hilarious!

tu me manques

My niece is spending most of the summer in Europe, and while she’s off galavanting around the French countryside, her little pug is missing her something fierce.  Is this not the most pathetic face you’ve ever seen? 

sad-gus Don’t worry, Rat Child – he’s doing just fine.  It’s not all tears and worry.  He’s even having fun.

Though he may just be exceedingly proud of one of his many, many, many gaseous emissions… (seriously, Ash, you could’ve warned us!)
