What REALLY happens when we try to photograph Corgi puppies

Let me set this one up for you.
Our mission: Get all of the puppies into the basket and take one decent Christmas photo.
Our reality: The babies had other ideas.

First you'll see a brief glimpse of Cindy Read, saying something like, "Maybe they will get really tired and will stay in the basket." Then you'll hear Mary Elizabeth Simpson telling her something like, "They'll be out playing for a while, then will go back into their pen and will be so tired they should sleep for hours!" Then there's me, talking to our veteran boy, Indy, (Ch. Windcrest Zip'N Indiana Jones) Indy decided it would be his job to try and herd them all in as they jumped out of the basket. **if my blog music is playing in the background, you can pause it. The player is in the sidebar to the left.

Here's Cindy with a fluffy cutie pie...

We'd put them into the basket.....

They'd jump out of the basket....

So we tried to take a few stacking photos....("stacking" is a term used to teach a dog to stand properly for the show ring to be evaluated by a judge at a dog show)

But, they weren't really in the mood for that, either.

So, they found the cheese we were using to train them with, on the log. So much for the beauty photos.

Next, they decided to see what the camera strap tastes like......

Then we put littermates Hannah Banana (on left) and Indy (center) with their mother Kelsey (on the right) HB and Indy will be 11 in December. Kelsey is 14. Where does the time go? It seems like just yesterday when they were the little ones in the basket.

Have a lovely week everyone! xo Cathy ^..^
