Photoshopping the Cover Girl!

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and PhotoShop Lovers:

We all know that beautiful cover girls get photoshopped all the time. It is such common practice that I thing some celebrities have their own photoshop technician! I know Lily did!

OMD! I was looking for a picture earlier today and ran across this one of Lily. This was the last photo shoot I did of her for the dust jacket and cover of the Lily Book.

I wanted to get a great side picture of her to photoshop for the dust jacket/cover and photoshop I did! It had to be just right! I think the cover and dust jacket took months to complete. I hired a photoshop technician to bring my designs to life.

Looks like Lily went on a photoshop diet! As you can tell from the real picture, dear Lily loved her treats. Grandpa spoiled her like a queen. He would buy her and Chloe freezer fulls of hot dogs. He would then cut them into quarters and keep them in zip lock baggies in the freezer. He called them cold dogs. I begged Grandpa not to give them too many.

Every night at 6:00 both girls would go up to Grandma and Grandpas landing and wait for their after dinner treat. Oh, this brings back such good memories.

Grandpa would microwave a few hunks for them. They would not come into their place because Grandma and Grandpa were on the couch reading the paper right there by the door. Grandma trained them to sit on the towel and wait for a few minutes until Grandpa microwaved them.

They were both able to make it up to the landing until the very end. It was one of their truest pleasures in life. Hot cold dogs from Grandpa!

There is absoultely no way on Dog’s green earth that Chaps or Emma would ever sit at the door. Not gonna happen! We never continued the tradition because our Emma is allergic to protein. No hot cold dogs for her…….

More hot cold dog memories later….Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma

    Ok, now I see. Lily really does have a heart on her side! I love that picture of Lily. What a beautiful hound. And it is cute beyond belief that they would do this routine for the hot dogs. Oh yes, good memories indeed. Keep those.

    What a sweet memory to have, but I feel so sorry for Emma, she seems to miss out so much.
