Hi every doggy!!!
Boy oh boy I thought my Mom would NEVER get her act together and let me get on the computer! She is so stuffed from gorging on turkey and desserts from Thanksgiving that it took til NOW for her to get her act together!
Anyway, I have a super cool update for you!
Remember a few weeks ago when I featured Northern Lights Photography on my blog and I mentioned that I was going for a photo shoot? Well, I went and the photos are back!! Ohhhh my does my Mom ever love them!
I am going to show you a few of our faves. The color may have been altered on a few because Moms’ scanner on the printer isn’t working, so Mom took photos of the photos and she brightened them up a bit to make them look more like the originals. Trust me, the originals look a zillion times better in pawson!

Mom was going to use the above photo for our holiday card but decided against it because my kitty brother, Cody, wasn’t in the photo. Mom had thought about bringing him but she was nervous about how Cody would react. Mom thought there would be lots of doggies and kitties there that might make Cody nervous, or that he would be “spooked” being in a strange room with a camera so Mom let Cody enjoy the peace and quiet of home. Mom says she might ask Sheri if she could come to the house one day so that we could all have our photo taken!
Mom was so impressed with Sheri and her assistant. They couldn’t have been nicer!
At first, I was a bit leery because the photos were taken in the back room at a local Pet Supplies Plus store.
For the autumn leaves photo, they wanted to put me on a table but I didn’t want ANY part of that! That was too much like the V-E-T for me!
Sheri and her assistant had many tricks up their sleeves to help me get into the “mood.” They had toys that quacked, squeaked, and an assortment of treats. They were fun, gentle, understanding and kind. Soon I realized that this was FUN and I was all about the camera!
When I was done with my photo shoot Mom was sooo proud of me!! She said I was a complete gentleman and….she also said ( Easy this one is for you) that I am a:

Thank you so much Sugar! I know 😦 I emailed her to see if there was something i could use for online but I think she is busy and hasn’t seen it yet. Love, “Mom”
Cody you are such an amazing model! Maybe you should become a full time professional dog model 🙂
DAKOTA!!!! What am I thinking…
BOL!!!! No worries! I am used to it! Everyone has Cody on their brain! BOL!! Barks and licks and love, Dakota
I’m glad it all went so well! Your pictures turned out great! Soon you’ll be modeling all the time!
Bunny
Thank you Bunny! And……….NO I WON’T!!! BOL!! Barks and licks and love, Dakota
Love the third pic down Dakota, you look very handsome! 🙂
Thank you Zena! Mom loves that one too…she picked a lot of “smiley” ones though because she says I “smile” all the time. Barks and licks and love, Dakota
What GREAT photos, Dakota! You are one talented doggie model! I love your sheltie smile. It’s always wonderful to see pictures of your parents too!
thank you Debbie! Mom was wondering…did your prize from Fresh Pet arrive? It was supposed to arrive last Tuesday. Barks and licks and love, Dakota
Oh Dakota! Those photos are just beautiful! What a wonderful job they did and I especially like that one of you with your Momma and Daddy. It is beautiful! I’m sorry Cody couldn’t be there with you though. Have a great weekend!

Eva
Ohhh Eva thank you!! Mom was upset though…she had a grooming appt scheduled for me the day before but Daddy cancelled it and Mom doesn’t like how my fur looks! Figures the following week they took me to be groomed. I can never be the “star” or “model” that YOU are though, gorgeous Eva! Barks and licks and love, Dakota
They came out beautiful! Dakota looks so happy. Love the family photo, which I’m sure will be treasured for a very long time, maybe the Tigers could borrow it for an ad campaign! I really should get some professional photos taken of Oreo & Chewy.
Hope your family had a good Thanksgiving!
Sara thank you so much! I was surprised at how well he did. He often gets nervous around people he doesn’t know but he did sooo well! lol about the Tigers…noooo they don’t want THAT! lol. You take such good photos you don’t need a professional photographer! Thank you we had a great Thanksgiving and i hope that you did too! Love, “Mom”
Your pictures are awesome! You are beautiful Dakota and the picture with your mommy and daddy turned out great too! You have a very good looking family Dakota! Hope you had a great Thanksgiving!

Awww THANK YOU Amy!! BOL about saying “treats” and “belly-rubs”….Cody likes the “belly-rubs” I like the TREATS! Barks and licks and love, Dakota
