Home Field Advantage

Oh boy here it is! Not even a month ago we were hot, tired, hungry, frustrated and having a ball with the dogs at the Glenn Campbell Photo Studio in downtown Calgary trying to get some good shots of the dogs for the Bayer Advantix ‘Growing Up Multi” campaign. Lindsay at Woodruff Sweitzer had endless patience and everyone at the studio was extremely hospitable and helpful.
A quick reminder of the stars: Kika – 9 weeks old, Rory – 8 months old, Raimi – 17 months old, Seth – 10 years old. Kika was darling and squishably cute.

Rory was a fidgety teenager but we rallied and he finally sat still, Raimi was perfect, Seth was initially a grumpy old man but came shining through.

Those who are looking closely will notice in the actual ad that they neutered Raimi and gave him back his dewclaws. They also darkened Rory’s muzzle a bit and gave Seth more grey hairs than he’s earned. I think only Kika remains reasonably un-retouched because she was just so perfect!

The fruits of our labour have been realized – the photos are beautiful and the campaign itself is fantastic! Watch for these guys in magazines and on your vet’s brochure shelf!
