Centerfold Pups

Allow me to make some introductions.  First, Peachtree Hills' finest defender, protector, lover, and cuddler...our very own, Sadie.  I don't know that I've formally introduced her to the bloggies yet, but here she is:

Next, Sadie's favorite playdate, Butterball, and her snuggle buddy and booking agent, Elizabeth.  Butterball is quite possibly the cutest, most lovable, and most energetic yellow lab walking our streets.  Together, she and Sadie are a dynamic duo.  These two have shared hours of fun hosting the neighborhood pool parties and terrorizing backyards.

 
And now the duo have hit it big.  The neighborhood calendar.  Soon you will see them all over restaurant walls, refrigerators, and cubicles everywhere.  They even sent out a real photographer to do the shoot.  In case you've never been part of a famous dog's photo shoot, let me tell you how it goes.  It starts with props, wardrobe and collar selection, and a hair stylist.

This is followed by background selection and lighting.  Then, you bribe, wrestle, and beg the dogs to sit.  Once in place, you make high pitched noises and raise your hands to get the proper head angle.  It looks something like this:

Next, you pray, because it will be nothing short of a miracle if they stay there long enough for a pic.

The dogs were great though and very well behaved, so hopefully the photographer got some good shots!  I'll let you know when Peachtree Hills Pets 2011 hits newsstands!
