Photo Bomb

The holidays are fast approaching, and, among other things, this means it's time to take those photos to send off to family and friends.  It seems like such a simple task, but alas, things are not always what they seem...

Anthony: Are you guys ready to have your picture taken?
Amita: Just about.  We have to find Dev.  Where can he be?

Amita: Remember, we're sending this photo to Auntie, so it has to be nice.
Did you have a talk with Dev?
Ravi: Sort of.  I had a sort of talk with him.
Amita: >Sigh<

Dev: Alright, Mr. DeMille, I'm ready for my close-up.
Ravi: You're wearing that shirt?!?!
Dev: They're Christmas aliens.  'Close Encounters of the Merry Kind'!
Amita: Try again.

Amita: That's better.  Now Dev, Auntie is getting this picture, so you must behave.
Dev: I always behave.

Dev: I just can't help it that I'm simply more dazzling than you two.
Ravi: Good grief.

Anthony: Okay, on the count of three.  One, two, three, cheese!

Dev: TA-DAAAAAH!!!
Camera: >Click<

Patrick: Well, how did the photo go?  Did Dev behave?
Ravi: What do you think?

Patrick: He's remarkably consistent.  My logical side has to appreciate that.
Ravi: >Sigh< Your logical side doesn't have to deal with him.

Dog Days of Autumn

 After running around and getting his exercise in the backyard, Ribsy is relaxing in the doghouse and daydreaming about this dog's life...


Ribsy and his pet human, Chance Victor

His sister Denali, and her favorite human Pete Dakota

And his other sister, Annabelle and her boy BR

Of course, if Ribsy ever entered the Westminster Dog Show, he'd be...top dog!
