More of the dogs...

Monique made me realize that I should introduce you to the best dog models ever. These dogs are all brothers from the same litter and are about a year and a half old right now. They are HUGE but full of love, and what cracks me up is the fact that they all have very different personalities. So here they are:

This is Cooper. He is a lot like our dog Charlie, only a yellow lab. He is playful, wants to please everyone, and gets really jealous when the other dogs are getting attention. He is a beautiful dog and I just love his coloring. He also happened to be my best model this weekend which made Matt and his mom laugh most of the afternoon - they couldn't believe that they would sit so still while the camera was pointed at them but the second I took it off them they would go crazy!

**PLEASE NOTE: A lot of these pictures were taken without me looking through the viewfinder. As soon as I could crouch down to get a shot the dogs would run at me to say hi, so I would just bend over and take my best shot at aiming the camera at the dogs. Most of them came out which I was very excited about!



This is Amus. He's my favorite of the three (shhhh, don't tell). He is shy, slightly territorial, and ironically he's the most dominant of the three brothers. Can't tell by this picture huh? I love his white coat and his super dark nose. I feel like he's always smiling at me. He doesn't approach everyone so I feel really special when he runs up to me wagging his tail. He follows me around every time I'm there and I just fall in love with him all over again. He and I have actually fallen asleep on one of the lounge chairs and he made sure to keep a paw on me at all times to know when I moved and to protect me. I love love Amus :-)


And this is Gus. He is a total Moose, as he was the first one to reach 100 lbs. He has a lighter color nose and big hazel eyes. He's always been squishy and super big but he's a complete dork. He's also the easiest to identify - Cooper and Amus are more difficult to distinguish between the two. He loves to play and run with the other boys, but he somehow overpowers the dominant brother (Amus) and manages to get the most amount of food... obviously. He's a big love bug and I absolutely adore him. I just have to stay on level ground because he will push me down the hill if he's not paying attention! (Look at the frown in this picture!! They had done a lot of running and digging at this point so they were a little pooped out)


These are just some fun ones. Can you see Cooper getting up to run at me? I love how his ears flipped up!
Yup, this picture was taken straight down to my feet. They were at my feet all day! I loved it :-)

This picture just cracks Matt up. Amus wouldn't leave my side and for some reason he had his ears flipped back in this shot and he's got the goofiest face ever. He just looks so happy and it makes me laugh when I see it.
