Lil's First Photo Shoot

I was lucky enough to have a visit from Miss Lily this afternoon! We had fun playing dress up and riding the rocking giraffe. I used this visit as a test run photo shoot of the little angel! Here are the awesome pictures I was able to catch while Lil was playing!! There are quite a few... enjoy!

Two beds are better than one!

So as many of you know Beignet likes to chew. Yes she is a retriever and well thats just what a lot of dogs from that breed do; BUT in efforts to keep the little pup warm during the winter, I have come up with an idea. Beignet likes to chew her bed and pull out all the fluffy green fuzz. She also likes to curl up in a ball and take a warm nap on the bed. These two activities don't go well together... but what if there were two beds? Yes, In an attempt to keep the fuzz to a minimum as well as keep Beignet warm, I bought another bed. I put the new bed in her kennel (Beignets new favorite place to curl up and snooze) and the old chewed up bed out on the floor in the kitchen.

Now, for the good part! I was in the kitchen going about my business when I noticed my crazy pup dragging her "old" bed around. Beignet loves to do this as a play time activity, but she also will bring her bed in or out of her kennel when she feels like it. So, I heard the bed moving and looked over JUST as she got to the kennel. Instead of pulling the bed in she just stopped: Dead in her tracks. What in the world was she supposed to do now... there was a bed ALREADY IN HER KENNEL?! I just burst out laughing because I don't think i've ever seen a dog with such a "hmph" moment!

After the "what the..." moment, Beignet pulled her "old" bed back over to one of her favorite spots in the kitchen and then trotted back to the kennel to lay down. Oh the personality of a dog... well a dog like Beignet!!

Model Behavior

So, I have taken my first photo's with my new camera! Beignet was the best little model for me to begin my  photography hobby! Here are some really cute pictures of Beignet and thanks to the camera (and the pet setting), I am now able to get good pictures of my crazy puppy!! 

"Why are you waking me up for this?"



"As long as there is no light flashing in my face, I will lay like this for you all day!"
