52 Weeks of Auggie – 5/52 Colours

I had a tough time with this one, because there’s not much as far as colour outside goes. There’s a ton of snow on the ground so it’s basically white, and being an art student I am adamant that white is NOT a colour but the absence of colour, therefore using “white” was out of the question. I did consider doing yellow and photographing Auggie in front of some yellow snow… I also had a great idea for yellow involving tennis balls, but was surprised to find he doesn’t own as many yellow tennis balls as I thought.
So I just went with red, which is the colour I buy all of Auggie’s leads and things in.

52 Weeks, Week 05

Here’s all the rejects… this was kind of fun.

I really liked this one because he looks like such a badass in it.

This one cracked me up and I liked it, but decided ultimately that wasn’t the one I wanted to use.

But it gets funnier.

52 Weeks of Auggie – The Rejects

I don’t wanna go to bed

but I’m… sooooo tired…
I think I’ll just… lay on this pillow here…

Problem: I dumped the pillow there in a hurry so it’s folded almost in half. Dog is too big for pillow. And also IT’S ALL OF A FOOT FROM THE CRATE. JUST GO TO BED AUGGIE.

I thought for sure he’d get up when I stood up to get the camera, and usually when I turn it on and the lense extends he moves, but he lifted his head and looked at me… then put his head back down. Sooooo tired…


You can see his crate door in this one. Seriously, he’s that close to it. I actually had the pillow laying NEXT to his crate a while back and he would still lay on the pillow instead of the crate. Just a change of scenery I guess…


How can this be comfortable…?


Okay seriously. There’s no way that’s comfortable.


Little feets hanging off the back.


“Hi baby. Why don’t you just get in your crate? You fit in there.”
“No,” he said, and puts his head back down.

He stayed there for another ten minutes and JUST NOW finally got up and got in his crate. Weird dog.

For Sale

One small fuzzy monster. Smells a bit. Very annoying. Can communicate with wookies.

The old ones only sell when they are on clearance because they are not cute tiny puppies anymore so you have to clearance them.
And also he is defective. Like not right in the head. And he has funny front feet.
And he may or may not try to devour you. Feet first!
