Dasher's Picnic Photoshoot *23*

I had this idea about a week or so ago and I'm pleased as punch with these! He's gone from having no idea how to pose to being a total ham. He's a super dog! A total sweetheart. Good news! The name I've been putting on my photos lately is now my doing business as name. I mainly wanted it 1. for the internet because I didn't want to be putting up my full name there 2. before someone else claimed it. It's named after Duke and the happy dog song I used to sing to him. Oh, I may have my first commission. There's a hairdresser where I get my nails done that wants some new pics of her kids. I suggested downtown where there's a fountain and some sculptures. I can also do the picnic thing with them. I'm so happy with the way things are going right now. On with the pics!

You sure have a way with dogs! Duke always looked soooooooo happy and now, so does Dasher :)

Maybe the dog whisperer needs an accomplice? :D

I love this one! It reminds me of that Snausage commercial a long time ago where the cartoon dog kept popping up saying "Snausages"

Taking a break. He spilled the fruit juice getting crazy. I turned the blanket over and moved the plate.

I hope you enjoyed these as much as I enjoyed taking them and looking through them.

Aww dasher, I love seeing photos of you. You have such a look of being a loyal gentle doggy.

What fantastic photos! Great photos Val! I love seeing your handsome boy :D

Dasher! Sweetheart, handsome one! Thank you (and thank you, DukeDog's Mom) for letting me be your picnic guest today. Hug, hug, hug! Smooch!

Nice pictures Val! Dasher looks like he's right at home at the picnic. :)

What great shots! Dasher sure is a handsome guy!

Dasher, you are so handsome as usual! What a great picnic.

Thanks for the midnight smiles, Val! Maybe Dasher can teach K-lo some photo shoot manners! Smashing Dasher sure is one happy boy! My fingers are aching to do some serious belly rubs! Hopefully some day I'll join you both for a picnic!

They came out GREAT!! I like them all. He looks so happy and cooperative with his big smile on! Thanks for the Smile this morning Dasher!

Great pictures, Val! Dasher does look like he has become a star model. You have great ideas for photo shoots. Obvioulsy both you and Dasher are very patient.

Great photo shoot Val!
Dasher looks cute as ever!

What a sweetheart!!! Who wouldn't love a picnic with you Dasher? Such a handsome and sweet companion you are. Great pictures, Val!!! I feel like enjoying a picnic right now. :D

Dasher does look like he's becoming a pro at picture taking. He seems
right at home. I'm glad you took a rollin in the grass picture too. After he
was so good at posing for the camera, he deserved a break. :)

I gave him lots of breaks and rolls in the grass :) The squeaky ball is his reward for posing. I'm really proud of him. He's come such a long way.

I really enjoyed these photos, Val. Dasher looks extremely happy on his picnic. Nice photo shoot.

Beautiful pictures, Val, thanks for sharing. :D

Awww what a good boy you are handsome Dasher. You really have got posing down to an art don't you? You know your mom has plenty of good stuff to reward you and make it all worthwhile. You are the perfect picnic companion!

Very creative and cute idea Val!

That is SUCH a cute idea and they turned out awesome!!

Those turned out really nice, Val! Dasher is very handsome!
