((Buckets, Tires and HOODLUMS, Oh my!))

[k9krazee]

Once upon a time the Hooman, on her day off, noticed a pile of tires in the driveway. She ran inside gathered up a baggy of treats and called out for the Hoodlums. With a sigh the Hoodlums reluctantly got off the couch and trotted quietly behind her wondering what type of humilating torture was in store for them that day.

In hopes of getting this photoshoot done and over with Mini volunteered to be the first victim, she hopped up on the pile of tires, put a smile on her face and a wag in her tail.


Jack was next, and tried a different approach. He thought (hoped) that if he acted bored and uninterested the Hooman would give up.


But no, that was only the beginning...


After an entire unsuccessful photoshoot with over-exposed pictures they decided to move the entire set to the lower part of the yard.
Jackie Loo was a big help


And the torture ensued


But it only got worse!








When Shadow was asked if she could put her feet up on the tires to look as if she was actually included in the pack, this is all they could get out of her. She'd much rather have all four feet planted firmly on the ground.


Stay tuned...

See? Much happier


The Hoodlums got excited because they thought the Hooman was going to call it quits after the tire pictures, surely that was enough torture for one day! But no, she wasn't quite done yet.

She got out The Hoodlums worst enemy from last summer -- the bucket.


Three little terrors in a bucket, it doesn't get any better than that!




Mini, open your eyes!


Um Jack, keep your tongue in your mouth...and Kyra..?


That's better!


The Statues


The Hoodlums sprung into action as soon as the magic word (okay!) was uttered


A sense of relief went over the Hoodlums when it was announced that this photoshoot was finally over...for now.


A couple more...

[k9krazee]

They were all smiles...well, sort of


But what's this? I thought they were done?




Treats were then dispersed and the Hoodlums lived happily ever after.


The End!

Great thread. I just don't know how you do it; I am in awe of you and the pups. I have only one dog and can't get her to do anything more than look in my direction because I am holding a treatsie over my head. That is amazing. The one Angie reposted really made me laugh. The expression on Shadow's face in that picture says, "There better be ice cream for us after all of this." Kyra is such a good girl standing up there.

I bursted out laughing at the picture Angie re-posted, too. thanks for making my day! Hugs and kisses to all of those sweeties of yours.

Oh, Hoodlums! I loved the tires and I loved the buckets! Wait till my dog-person co-workers see this... you'll hear us laughing from all over the country.

[Jadapit]

How do you get them to pose like that? GREAT job! Those pictures truly made my day. I love those dogs of yours so much. Do you want to give me a few of them? I'll be glad to take them off your hands.

Those are awesome. Looks like a lot of fun. Mini is adorable, she looks like the leader of the pack! I'm not her breed's number one fan, but I might scoop her up if given the chance. I like your story and captions, you're fun!
