As you can see I have had a very productive day trying to get a picture of a dog with a cupcake with a naked flame on top of it without said dog eating it and/or setting himself on fire. The difference in the height of the candle in the first shot I took and the last shot is testament to the fact that it was not as simple a task as I had anticipated.
Once I had got the shot George he shared the candleless/wrapperless cake with Pepper. Given that he is a dog who has a bit of food-stealing habit and has in the past consumed the majority of a ten inch quiche lorraine in one sitting with no obvious negative digestive consequences, I don't foresee any adverse effects.
In addition to the open flame, I can’t believe he wore the hat for more than two seconds! Well done indeed. I really like your focus on the candle and the fuzziness of fuzzy dog in the background. Happy Birthday George!
Also Nigel says he LOVES this and he (officially) doesn’t approve of dressing up dogs for photo purposes (whenever I was caught!) but he has over ridden all objections for this!
