Yesterday was a busy day for us!! I only worked a half day, because Jasmine had a photo shoot at 4 pm. (and we had to drive about an hour to get there.) I can't say which company just yet, but you'll know in about 3-6 months! Start keeping an eye out for Jasmine! She'll pop up in some familiar places. :)
Overall, I thought the photo shoot went pretty well. Jasmine had to model lots of different outfits. By the time we were through, she was one tired pup! (and the shoot only lasted about 1/2 hour!)
Most of what they asked for was the over-the-shoulder pose. (Which Jaz is good at.) Some were sitting, facing forward. For one shot, Jaz sat pretty. (and was sitting normal.) I hope they use the sitting pretty shot, because she looked really cute. :)
There was one hiccup... they wanted Jaz to stand diagonally wearing a coat and matching booties. Well, Jaz is used to wearing clothes, but she is NOT used to wearing booties. She's small enough that if it's hot outside, I just carry her. So she never wears shoes. So she wasn't real keen on the idea of wearing booties. So I'm not sure if that shot turned out or not. She might be making a funny face. (The good and bad of having an expressive dog!)
When we were doing agility last year, it was cold, so I bought her a coat. It came with matching booties. Just for fun, I tried them on Jasmine. LOL. This was the end result:
Luckily, for this shoot, Jasmine just had to stand there, and not walk. Otherwise it probably would have ended up looking like that!! ;)
HAHA!
OK- you know those "Ugly Sweater" Christmas parties people have? Well now the dogs can be invited to particpate too!! I don't know if you've heard of these, but I've been to a few. They're funny.
The object is to come in the most extremely decorated sweater you can find!
So when I saw these sweaters at Petco, I was cracking up. I wasn't sure they were supposed to be "ugly sweaters"... they aren't that bad! But it kind of reminded me of them! I didn't want to insult anyone, so I even asked the Petco rep if they were intended to be this way. She assured me that yes, these so that our pets can be included in the "ugly sweater" parties. ;) (For example- I think this red sweater would be fine if you took off the white pom pom's! Then it would be a cute sweater.) But... for the purpose of accompanying me to a party, this works great. :)
Check out this one I got for Jaz! LOL. (and of course, she had to have reindeer antlers!) LOL. (And yes, she did get a treat for modeling for this picture!)
Well-played Petco. Well-played. :)
If you have a Page-A-Day dog calendar, then tomorrow Saturday Nov. 17th is Jasmine Day!! :)
That's a reason to celebrate, right? ;) Like we need a reason. Jasmine's motto is: Live life with enthusiasm!!
Have a great weekend everyone!!! :)
