I want to nominate my dog K as a "Working Stiff" in the Mango Minster dog show. K works incredibly hard as a model for my photography hobby.
Believe it or not, K subjected herself to a kiss from her younger brother R, all in the name of being a good model for me.
She wears silly hats while enduring long hours standing in the sun so that I can try to get the perfect photograph.
For the silly camera, she demonstrated her skill at picking up objects, like my hat, that I've dropped. She does this because I have trouble reaching the ground when my spine really hurts. As you can see, she can perform multiple duties at once - model and service dog!
Perhaps the most onerous part of her job is getting outside at dawn for photo shoots in the fiery red light of sunrise.
She can barely keep her eyes open at that early hour.
K even takes flying leaps off of huge boulders, all in the name of exciting photos!
She poses with the sunrise at her back in the heart of cougar territory. She is a brave working stiff.
Believe it or not, she scales huge boulders so that I can photograph her with the sunrise behind her.
Last but not least, K even feels duty-bound to sleep cutely, all in the name of being a good working stiff model dog.
I think that K is an awesome working stiff dog so please vote for her!
Good luck!

You'll have my vote K, for a Working Stiff, no doubt about it.
ReplyDeleteDo they have a Playboy category for your little brother R?

Miss K,
ReplyDeleteYou are definitely a hard working dog! Even being cute while you sleep? That's dedication! I know you work really hard at taking care of your human, and you do a fantastic job!

Winner!!!
ReplyDeleteKhyra says paws khrossed for K's entry!
She could also be in the running for "Daredevil Dog" for going into the wild and protecting you from cougars, bears and squirrels. Some of those jumps would make a stunt dog envious.

K is the very definition of a working stiff! She poses, she protects, she is patient, she provides physical, mental and spiritual stimulation. Absolutely a winner. The very best of luck in the competition.

K you are worked so hard by that slave-driving momma of yours...not only should you win this competition but you should demand a comfy heated/airconditioned trailer for model prep and a bowl of only round-shaped duck treats! BOL!
ReplyDeleteWe know it's not relly work for you K, it's all done out of love... But we wish you good luck!!

A gorgeous model - I hope she makes millions (in dog food and treats).
ReplyDeleteIt's been an incredibly busy couple of months and although I've been writing, I haven't been reading many blogs. I read your comment on my blog and just sat in stunned silence. I can't believe that K has cancer.
ReplyDeleteI went back and read through your blog posts, starting with "Falling off a cliff" and realized that with K's strength and your willpower, you'll live each day forward as it's meant to be. That's what your blog posts since then have proven! We're bolstered by their spirit and ability to enjoy each moment; they're simply happy to be with us. My heart goes out to you and your pack. You all are in my heart and prayers. Many, many hugs...
Good luck K! We are supporting you!
