Week 49

This picture is of my dog Wrigley as my husband desperately attempts to put her Yoda ears on.  For Halloween I decided to buy a doggy Yoda costume and have a little photo shoot with our dogs.  Although this is more of a candid shot it is one of my favorites.

Wrigley just found her ball under the couch, and was clinging to the thing like it was her security blanket.  So freakin’ cute!

Since we have two LARGE dogs we don’t normally get the chance to dress them up like you would a smaller dog.  After seeing pictures of other dogs wearing this hilarious Yoda costume I just had to get one for my two.  I just had to.

I paid $14.95 for a costume that each dog wore a total of five minutes, but it was so worth it.  Personally, I think Cohen rather enjoyed the experience.

Cohen did the best when it came to sitting still for the pictures.  His facial expressions are belly-achingly hysterical.  If his pictures crack you up just imagine trying to keep the camera steady while shooting pictures of this kid.  Wrigley was not as good of a sport when it came to sitting still, but her pictures are just as funny but in a random pose/action kind of way.  Enjoy.

Then there was Wriggley.  She wasn’t quite as pleasant of a participant in this puppy photo shoot.  I think Cohen liked wearing the costume a bit too much.

Wrigley caught sight of a tennis ball under the couch, and she just had to have it.  So she slid down to pick it up.

She was so excited to have her ball.  She didn’t even want to play with it.  She just wanted to have it in her possession.  DONE.

Derek took her ball so we could try getting a better picture of her in her costume.

This is what we ended up with.  You can’t see Derek, right?!?

And then she stopped participating….

I think she was hiding from us.

Here is another “mishap” shot from my little puppy photo shot the other night.  I was laughing so hard at this poor guy that the camera was shaking uncontrollably from the muscle spasms in my stomach.  I couldn’t get the kid to sit for the life of me.  If I tried to push his butt down he would stiffen his legs in preparation of a butt scratching.  You see, if it even looks like your hand is heading for his hips Cohen assumes that you are moving in to scratch his butt, and locks his legs so that he may brace himself for the sensational scratch-fest about to ensue….or so he thinks.

It’s almost as if he’s saying, DO I LOOK FANCY ENOUGH IN THIS?  Yes Cohen, you look very ~fancy~ .
