lol...we had a tremendous amount of fun doing this...my 14 year old son, for once, didn't even complain when I said, "grab a fork and get the dog!"...typically when I pick up camera bag he (boy AND dog) groan LOUDLY..LOL
I shoulda cloned out the old well in background...nahhhhhhhh we late for football practice...hence difference between Dr. Achoo's shots and mine...TIME, patience, SKILL...I lack em all ;-)
NOTHING on the fork...well cept the dog's tongue..lol...she's SUCH a sweet dog and a NATURAL retriever since she IS a bird dog...just not she's a fork'n bird dog ;-) First twenty throws she wouldn't retrieve fork for my son...cause she NORMALLY is reprimanded and only allowed to bite/retrieve/chew her TOYS...I just loved the way her tongue was on the fork and the whole thing was a 'luck' shot...but I think my son will always treasure it...and I've got a print for my desk for the days that are bad at school and I feel like a failure regarding teaching or being successful in helping students learn or make their world a better place....we MUST remember the humor in life....otherwise?it's just another fork'n day ;-) even in jest I sound so non-Christian...forgive me...
:-) we have several traditional "fetch the fork" shots...with fork centered between canine's mouth....however..any dog can fetch..will any dog plop down and be so dramatic over repeated fork'n? lol...she is so beautiful and her personality...this shot was not staged..my son threw the fork she retrieved it (this retrival was her ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh 50th?lol) so returned it and PLOP...was funny at the time and funny now in this photographic memory... cool side=challenge.. thx :-)
