My Photo Shoot

Last Wednesday I went to Welles Park. I thought I was going to run around but instead I just got my picture taken - a lot. Here's a picture of me in Welles Park. My human took it.
Here's another picture of me in Welles Park.
Lila M. Stromer took it. See the difference? Lila is a real photographer. She took my portrait at Pawz for Japan. Here's my portrait from Pawz for Japan.
Stunning, I know. Here's another picture she took of me in the park.
Here's a picture my human took of me in the park with Lila.
I'm not even looking at the camera. And does my fur look pink? Sigh. Here's a picture Lila took of me and my human.
SO much better. Here's a picture of me jumping in the park.
It's an action shot, but it's not blurry. Know why? Lila took it! My human says Lila has a better camera. Can you say denial? I can't, but I know what it means. I was getting annoyed on the grass because of all the flies. Seriously - they were all over me. Two landed on my ear at once. That's it! I'm out of here! We went over by the gazebo. There were less flies there. Here's a picture my human took of me in the gazebo.
No comment. A little boy came over and petted me. Here's a picture Lila took of me with the little boy.
He's smushing my ear. Here's another one.
He tried to take me home with him but my human said no. Here's a picture of him hugging me goodbye.
Yeah, I know...my human took it. We walked around some more and I saw some kids eating in the park. I wanted to go over but I wasn't allowed. I don't see why not. I'm pretty sure they would have given me some food. I met a little dog named Frances. She was really little. She had to stand up on her hind legs just to say hi to me. Here's a picture Lila took of Frances saying hi to me.
See how little she is? Here's another picture Lila took of us together.
Are we done here? I am. I headed back to the car. Here's a picture Lila took of me in the car.
Trust me, it's not just the camera. I had fun with Lila, but I only give Welles Park 1 Paw because of all the flies.

Pawz for Japan

Last week I got to go to Aunt Alyenne's for Easter dinner. She made ham! MMMMMMM! HAM!!! I sat really close to the table in case something fell on the floor. My cousins Sidney and Alex came over. Oh boy! Kids! I love kids - they feed me! They gave me lots of ham!! When we got home I was really thirsty, but it was worth it.

Then on Thursday I went to another roll call for Safe Humane Chicago. Still, no rolls. But I did find a steak house! Mmmmmm! Steaks! Can we go in? I wasn't allowed. They had a big statue out front. Here's a picture of me with the big statue.
It's a bull. If it was real I could have had steak after all. Sigh.

On Saturday my humans got dressed up. They usually leave me at home when they get dressed up, but this time they took me with them! We went to the Drake Hotel for the Pawz for Japan benefit. Oh boy! A soiree! I bet they'll have lots of appetizers - like prosciutto wrapped melon balls, bacon wrapped peanut butter balls, pork chops! I was getting hungry just thinking about it! I drooled on my human's suit. I can't help it! SO excited!! When we got there I had my portrait taken with my humans. Then we went into a big room with lots of chairs. Is this where the food is? There wasn't any food. Huh???? I was promised prime rib!! My humans said I wasn't. Yes I was!! Here's a picture of me in the big room.
See the tables behind me? You would think they'd have food on them. Here's another picture of me in the big room.
See how happy I look? I still think there'll be food soon. There wasn't. We walked around for awhile. Lots of people came over to say hi and pet me. Some of them took my picture. Steve Dale put my picture on his blog. Here's a link to my picture on Steve Dale's blog. Then my humans sat down and the concert started. It was kind of loud. I laid down behind the chairs. Here's a picture of me lying down.
At least the carpet was really comfy. Just wake me up when it's over. Then a little girl came over and started petting me. Here's a picture of me with the little girl.
Here's another picture of me with the little girl.
Then her mom came over and I got a belly rub! Here's a picture of me getting a belly rub.
Ahhhh! The little girl was tired. Here's a picture of us taking a nap.
I think she was expecting food too. After the concert was over they served cookies. Finally!! I only got a few. Huh? But it's way past my dinner time! I'm starving!! Before we left I got my picture taken with Tokiko Takeuchi. She's the human who put the benefit together. Here's a picture of me with Tokiko.
My eyes are glowy. Then we went home and I got fed. I give Pawz for Japan 2 Paws.
