Barkbox inspired photo shoot

The dogs got their monthly happy surprise box in the mail - our Barkbox - and it was a really cute summer themed one. It was complete with Beefy Beer, burger treats, puptato chips, BBQ bones, and some calming treats for the dreaded coming of the fireworks. We are going to donate the beer (beef malt flavored glucosamine supplement drink), the bones and the calming treats to the Northwest Rattiefest Raffle, however I did keep the Whole Life burgers and the sweet potato chips.

In fact the dogs were so excited about the treats that I decided to rip open the sweet potato chips and we headed outside for some fun. At first they were just having to sit and be polite. Frodo succeeded on one part of that goal.

Frodo demand barking. How'd that work for you Frodo?

But then I realized they were so engrossed by the chips that I might be able to get a good 4 dog photo out of the deal. This photo continues to be a pipe dream of mine but at least we did get some cute shots. It's a good looking crew so hard not to get cute photos. I know I'll get that polite 4-5 dog "sit" photo line up, but it just wasn't the day for it this time.

They were all being so calm here that it gave me the idea to attempt the "4 dog shot"

So we called Frodo...

Of course, Frodo had other things on his mind, namely the squirrel family in the fir trees.

This is the closest we got. One second earlier and I would have got Salinas standing  with the other dogs.

And here the dogs let me know the photo shoot was complete. Tilly was still hoping for that extra sweet potato chip though.
