CNTM ♥ dog blog ♥ zuzu

Dear Dog Blog,
Some of you may already know I'm a big tomboy and don't like taking pics as much as my beagle brofurs. However, Mummy decided to submit one of my pics to a magazine call-out for dogs like me! I didn't think I would get in but to my surprise they wanted me!! I can't say yet what it is for but will be able to give more details in a few months. Mummy says I'm going to be Canada's Next Top Model (CNTM)! We'll see about that!

We don't have any pics from the actual photo shoot but M&D took some photos of us getting ready for it. They thought it would be cute to dress us up in bows (like they always do) so that we could be extra cute and stylish for the posh photographers, stylists etc. (btw I didn't wear this for the photo shoot, they gave me a special collar). Here are some pics of us:

Hampton and me. I'm practicing my smile. Too much teeth you think?

Is this a good pose and smile?

Hampton and his Zoolander pose! He's good!

Excited but nervous. Away we go!

At the photo shoot it took me a while to settle down. It was the first time in about 2 years that Hampton and I were separated and it was also such a new environment. Daddy said Hampton was howling for me outside and I was worried for him.

During the shoot I forgot what it meant to "wait / stay" and kept jumping of the stage. Then I couldn't stop smiling and the photographer said they needed a shot with my mouth closed! Mummy was sweating and trying to calm me down. BOL! T.B. was there for support too. He was squeaking and coaching me to pay attention. In the end the words "ball" and "park" helped me focus and remember to close my mouth. Go figure!!

Anyway, we'll have to see how it all turns out. Who knows if I'll even end up making the final edit! It was a good experience though and I had fun! Next time I'll have to ask Hampton for more tips on how to pose! BOL!
