Franklin's magazine photo shoot

A few months ago Franklin won a model contest where he won a photo shoot modeling a bed for magazine and online ads. Well, yesterday he finally had his photo shoot! Overall, at the risk of sounding ungrateful, the shoot was not at all what I thought it would be. It lasted a total of about 20 minutes and the photographer didn't have me help at all, so the result was a bunch of pictures of Frank laying in the exact same pose. It really is a bummer because Franklin is a super model! He is so great at posing for pictures and could have had some incredibly cute poses for the ad. I guess it's their loss :-) The cool part was, he was supposed to get the bed he modeled, I went on their website and picked out a few of my favorite beds because it was unclear whether I got to pick the bed or they would pick it for me. They ended up picking the bed for me, BUT it was the EXACT bed I had picked for myself! It was so great! Franklin was great for the shoot, stared right at the camera the whole time, and everyone fell in love with him. He was so funny because he would pose for about 20 seconds, jump up and go over the the photographer for a treat and then run and jump back in the bed and pose again lol. Definitely a will work for food situation! I will post photos from the shoot as soon as they send them to me. Until then, here is a photo I took myself once I got home.....and yes, he is posing here lol

Thanks! Yeah it was such an awesome opportunity! I was SOOOOOOO surprised when I came home and checked my computer and found out Franklin won the contest! There were over 300 dogs in the contest, but really he had very little competition because there was only one other corgi :-P But it really was such an honor to be picked by both voters to get him into the top ten, and then the judges who picked the final winner. I can't wait to see the pictures from the shoot and the ad in print!
