Say "Cheese"!

I can truthfully tell you it's way easier to catch any frisky colt in full action than a certain Toy Poodle named Scooby.


The other day I stumbled over a fuzzy ball of yarn with the nose of a bottle-brush. Off cause I wanted to feature him on the blog, since dogs are the biggest news lately (according to US-media - se last posting "Newsworthy").

Until now I've considered myself a pretty skilled animal photographer with a résumé containing everything from explosive racers, diving dolphins, poisonous widows in black to the very rare Czech swamp rat.

As you see, that meant nothing when it came to catch... Scooby - The Toy Poodle.

******

Since I never got that shot I wanted, here you have him all clear and fixed, snatched from the Internet.


Got you at last, Scooby!

P.S. Just as evidence...


... here you’ve got the frisky colt Melton Kronos – caught in action. And by the lens of Tony.

Newsworthy

Abby, the Bichon Frisé… Really?


29 000 children have died of starvation in the last 90 days in the East African famine. Politicians are playing Russian roulette with the American economy, and new violent riots in London are taking place this very evening.

Yet the “push” for tonight’s news at NBC-California was that a coyote killed a dog in Altadena. I’m just surprised that there is nothing more newsworthy happening in the world than the fact that coyotes do hunt.

Now the sad owner now naturally wants the authorities to take action and get rid of the problem so "so that I could feel better about going and getting another dog at some point in the future."

Well, I hope not. I feel there are some other things American authorities need to attend to.


Even though I feel for Abby - the Bichon Frisé.

Top photo shows Minaj, a 7-month baby with the weight of 7lbs. Minaj is not one of the 29 000 dead children... yet.

Organic Botox

I must admit I was a bit surprised when reading today’s special at super healthy and organic heaven - Earthbar.

• Vitamin B12
• Botox
• Restylane

But then again, where if not in West Hollywood should Botox and Restylane be classified as natural health food?


Already in Earthbar and soon to be found in a store near you...

Why not Whole Foods?

Rocket Fuel

Yesterday I finally got to taste a dessert my cameraman been bragging about for as long as I've known him; Thomas’ Pitted Prunes Soufflé.


It was fluffy, fantastic and fiercely tasty for sure but it showed to come with a side effect. This morning my noble end turned into a rocket fuel-filled jet engine, and I farted myself all the way up Runyon Canyon - and down.

Runyon Canyon this morning - before the Tony-take off...

People lengthened their stride. Dogs ran amok. Hovering Hummingbirds dropped dead and rattlesnakes went into hibernation - all only as this Scandinavian Space Shuttle pos by.

For all the lives I’ve ruined this morning: I’m truly sorry. Even if that’s not much of a comfort, today I know what it felt like to be the Hindenburg.


Thomas Pitted Prunes Soufflé - deadly delicious and comes without any known side effect.

But a major "back one".
