Outtakes Day

Since Topical Thursday happened on Tuesday this week, we thought it would be fun to share some outtakes today from the photo shoot for yesterday’s blog post.

The whole sequence was going to be shot in our sunroom, but Newton had other ideas and made off with the guest star.

Newton steals pink chickAfter a journey behind and under the sofa, Newton brought his now-dirty prey back out into the open and tried playing with him, only to discover that his new friend was a bit clingy, especially after Newton had drooled on him.

Newton plays with the dirty, pink chickThe result was not a camera-ready chick. (The head peep should thank Newton for cleaning that hair out from under the sofa.)

The remains of the pink chickAnother pink chick was brought out, and the photos that appeared on yesterday’s blog were shot, where Ashton discovered that there are actually human foods she doesn’t like.

While Ashton was having this moment of truth, Newton was having a different kind of moment with the remaining chicks.

Final pink chick victimThe moral of this story is apparently not to leave marshmallow chicks unattended in our house if Newton is awake.

    LOL! Too cute! How funny that Ashton found a human food she doesn’t like. My cat Lucy LOVED marshmallows and would have eaten those chicks in a heartbeat.

    Love the pic of Newton making off with the “guest star.”

    rut roh…someone got a “sugar high” MOL. You are so lucky to have a “sunroom” to take photos. I am in a 2 bedroom condo (with limited light) and it presents SOOOOOOOO MANY challenges!

    No worries about that happening here. Our mommy is goofy. She doesn’t like marshmallow and she doesn’t like peeps. Purrhaps a new tool for removing cat fur as been discovered. XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo
