 sorry for using tod in the dryer again .. but having been in dpc for nearly 20 years surely i can be forgiven for revisting themes occasionally ..

so .. when i put him in the dryer four years ago he didnt like it .. wouldnt even take treats ..

but as i was preparing to put him in this time i feel sure he knew what was going on .. he even went up to it and looked in ..

while he was in the dryer this time he took treats and seemed quite relaxed ..

he went in two days in a row because i wasnt happy with the first photos i took .. i think he even started to enjoy it .. but that could be me projecting ..lol ..

unfortunately he often gets quite an anxious look on his face when i take his photo .. for no reason i can see btw .. so most of the photos i took of him in the dryer didn't work for me ..
his expression here sortv works ..

good luck to us ... 🙂

after voting .. :)
firstly i've got to say how much i appreciated the comments on this pic during voting .. xx

and second .. what an exciting week .. up until the last 4 votes i felt sure it would end up on my profile page .. which was totally unexpected ..

and third .. getting the blue .. absolutely epic ..

thanks so much again .. xx

Very cute shot! The dog’s face is perfectly framed by the dryer door, and the expression really makes the photo. Nice sharpness and it almost seems like he was in the spotlight 😅 Congratulations, roz! 🫶🏻

So many practical uses for a clever bit of visual flair like this. It must have been so tempting to over-process this, but the "snapshot" feel of this remains, to the image's strength.

He looks a little bit hang-dog, I think you have tested his trust!
