Photo Finish Friday

Ha roo, pups and cool cats! It's me, Zim, here with Photo Finish Friday! It was mighty busy around Headquarters this week, so I thought I'd show you a couple of the highlights - just so you can get an appreciation for how much hard, hard work I put in. Ready to get started?  Let's go!

Mom said she wanted me to do a photo shoot the other day, so I laid down and gave her my best smile!

Me.  Zim.  With my million dollar smile.

Exhausting work!  Then Mom said she wanted to do close-ups and I didn't really have to smile.

How's that for a more serious look?  

Then she said that wasn't quite what she was after.  How much more work does she EXPECT out of me?!?!  I did a little manipulation with my ears and came up with this pose:

Quite the nuanced change, don't you think?  That takes SO much effort!

Then Mom broke it to me -- she meant the super-duper close-ups she's been taking every week.  See...  Mom is chronicling my battle with Zinc-Responsive Dermatosis (ZRD) via photos for one of our vets.  My case is going to be written up for a medical journal or a paper or something, so I really do try my best to help out.  I have to hold REALLY still so she can do "macro work" with her camera and take good, clear shots for the good people at KSU.

After Mom got her photos, she gave me a few Stinky Goodness Jerky Treats as a reward, then I went on to doing some of the more active things that we Siberians are known for.  You know... like looking for my kit-cat pals ...

"Callie?  Are you out there?"

...and other important things.

"Zzzzz...."

Thank goodness the weekend's almost here. I really need some rest!

Play bows,
Zim

  1. How handsome you are. I have done some close-up sort of photos too but I have a yellow nose. Not quite the same thing really.

    Love the feety pose though. Gotta dash and snooze though ...

    Every time Zim looks for Callie, the calico cat, I think he's calling our puppy "Callie"! And I haven't even met her yet! LOL

    He's certainly a handsome boy!

  17. Gosh, Zim, you look great to me. I don't see any zinc on your face. I much prefer the smiling face. Even though it is a serious medical journal, no reason to look so stern, right?
