Winston aka The Clown
Uploaded: March 01, 2011
I am still laughing so hard it is tough to type. I have a photo project involving a pet so naturally Winston is my subject. Each day he goes out and gets our paper and my project was to take a picture of your pet’s personality (he is quite happy when he drops the paper at your feet and sits and waits for his treat or a pat on the head, with his begging eyes). Well, I get the equipment all set up...and throw the newspaper back out on to the driveway, but instead of using the orange wrapper it comes in I put it in a green one. So here we go…I release him from the leash and instead of getting the paper in our driveway….he completely ignores it and heads straight across the street to steal our neighbor’s paper. I am laughing so hard I barely got a shot of him in his thievery. You see Winston suffers from OCD and he knows that each morning our paper is in a orange sack and he would have none of the green. Still laughing!

Cute story and no doubt he's exasperating at times, but who could resist that sweet face? Adorable, Melissa! #9268854Ann Coates March 02, 2011
What a character Winston is, made me have a good laugh too at his antics. You can't fool an old dog. I love the look on his face, he thinks he's done good. #9269776Melissa Olsen March 03, 2011
