Doggieshoot - Me Behind the Scene

We had a very successful round 2 of photoshoot, collecting a total of $760. Including other personal donations, re-orders and the last round of shoot in June, the total stands at $3080! Thanks to all the doggies and helpers and doners for making this successful!

And here's some 'behind the scene' shots of me... and the rest of the people.

Look at the Men in Black!


Look at what they have to do to get the dog's attention! Uncle Chris will make an excellent dog in my opinion!



My M didn't take any nice pictures of me but luckily Uncle Nicholas was there to save the day! He took nice pictures of me....

trying to be the Big Head Dog....


trying my best trick.... food on the nose!


and of course, me at my natural best... looking handsome!


But my M wants me to take to take what Uncle Nicholas calls, my Casanova Shot.

Getting ready...


Casanova me!



There might be more BTS shots after Uncle Chris sorts thru everything.

What's happening?

What are all of them looking at?



Oh... it's bath day for the toys...




PS: My M took this pic of drooly me this morning at the park. And I have grass stuck to my drool too! Strangely all the humans ran away from me. I wonder why...

Drool boy!

Check out drool boy! The boy with drool on the nose!




When I run too much, I tend to drool a lot. The other day at the park, a guy commented to my M that she should bring me to a vet coz I had drool hanging down my lips. He has a non-drool dog (I think it was a small silky/ yorkie type?). My M thought it was quite funny coz he has not seen worse drool cases than mine.


On a separate note, thanks to everyone for the photoshoot support. All slots have been booked!

Doggie Photoshoot and Grooming

This was a really eventful weekend! First there was the charity doggie photoshoot, and we managed to raise almost $2K for Charmaine. My M hopes that the figure can past $2k after the nice doggie owners have seen the nice pictures and decide to buy more.

The Shoot was held at Aunty Cynthia's grooming shop, which is called the Doggy Salon. Aunty Cynthia has kindly agreed to let us use her shop for free for the shoot, and she donated a handsome (but I'm still handsome-er!) amount to our cause too!

Anyway, my M decided to bring me in for grooming at the same time since she won't have time to bath me, not that I would have minded. At the same time, she reminded me not to 'sia suay' (ie: to embarass her) during the grooming coz I'm such a scardey cat and she even reminded the groomers that I'm a scardey cat. I tried to tell her I'm a dog but I don't think she cares.

Here's me getting ready to be groomed!


From this vantage point, I can check out the doggie 'studio' below.


Can you see me??


Another look at the 'work in progress'. We had a lot of human dogs that day too, coz everyone was barking mad! They wruffed and howled and barked their way to get the dog's attention.



If you thought taking pictures of dogs were hard... try taking pictures of dogs AND kids!


Ok, back to my grooming.... first they combed out my undercoat.


That's my butt....


Check out all the fur they combed out! I'm glad I still got loads to spare!


Ohh.. that tickles!


Remember my M told me not to do anything to embarass her? Well, I did 2 things.

Firstly I tried to hang myself.

From the grooming table.

Not that I wanted too.

I think I slipped and fell coz my M saw me going down butt first instead of head first.

And then I pooped as well.

The groomers thought the smelt something funny, and it was me. My M thought maybe I'm so frightened I pooped my pants coz I'm reliably toilet trained... unless I have a tummyache, which I don't yesterday.



After that I was washed...


And placed in the oven at 220 degrees for 30 minutes.... to be served hot....

Hotdogs!


All right, that was a joke! I wasn't baked.... but my M did call it the Oven.

And that's nice smelling me after the grooming, although you can't really smell me now.


But to make sure I don't distract the other doggies in the shoot, I had to be imprisoned.

Let me out!



It was a exciting and tiring day for me and I was glad to meet some of my fans! Thank you for continuing to read the blog even after my big brother Herbie left! Also thanks to all the nice doggie owners who supported this event!

Helios Potter!

My M always thought I look a bit like Harry Potter if she pretends my cowlick is the 'lightning scar'.

Abracadabra! Or... explodimous!


Harry Potter?


But apparently her friend thought I look more like Dumbledore... or rather, Dumbledawg.



I don't care.... I still think I'm Helios Potter! Be careful about your comments or I may turn you into a frog!

PS: Sunday afternoon slots for the photoshoot are all taken, but we still have slots for Saturdays and Sunday morning!
