Monday Mischief - 'Don't Play With Your Food' she says...

Its a rule that must be ignored, says Earl!! Ethel disagrees with Earl and kind of agrees with me, and believes there is nothing wrong with simply scoffing your food down before playing. Therefore no playing with food at all. No opportunity at all. Earl would probably feel the same way, that is, if I hadn't accustomed him to doing all sorts for photo shoots before actually eating the food. THEN, he gets plenty of the little crunchers.

First, the three-treat-head-balance...

Secondly, the fake lick...

And finally, the mid nom!

I love all these PAWsome pics!! 

I actually find it quite surprising that Earl actually goes with these photos with all his happiness and willingness - he may love to snap them up and swallow them almost whole, however, he also loves performing and doing tricks for me! He has a reliable 'leave it' command, so I can place treats in front of him and he won't even touch them! And he wears that big doggy smile whilst doing as I ask. Working with me is his ideal thing to do (at loss of a better phrase other than 'thing to do'!!).

Does your dog allow you to take foodie photos, or do you find it hard?
