Description

Another shot from the war series between photography and my wife, with the alliance of our pets...

Saturday I told my wife that the next morning I was going to take some photos of my English Daguerres Setter XXIII in the garden.
I was surprised when she said "Ok, my love".
I became worried when Sunday morning She prepared me breakfast on the bed.
Something was happening.
I went out in the garden and saw the cats looking at me in that way. She corrupted them, I am sure. and now looking that photo you must believe me.
Sorry I did not post yesterday but I am not at home.
I took my EDS XXIII and run out from the house.
Now I am in a sure place, I have to organize next move. Don't call me, I turned off my cell and removed battery to not be recognized.
Just mail contact, if you know sure channels.
If somebody calls you telling that he's my doctor, pls pay attention, he's dangerous. Don't believe him.

Flavio---you are tooooo funny honey!!!!
I had to show my oldest daughter your war zone images...She giggled..especially the "Doctor" part...
Love this and it fits so well with the other images...
Beautiful Cats by the way...I LOVE THE MIDDLE ONE...maybe because I am a middle child...LOL...

Angie, Rajeev, Sharon, Thank you very much for your nice comments...

Angie... my wife is... simply everything.

Sharon... The middle cat was also my favourite... a female cat, everytime on my legs... but she was a double player, and betrayed me.
You know the entire series... she helped me in photography, but she was a spy, prepared by my wife.
You can see her hating eye... #5962373

The Dog, Flavio! Go and get the dog quickly!!!
If it does not work you should use Mickey Mouse, he makes the cats crazy...
Anyway, another great picture turned into a story. Looking forward to see more, Flavio!!! #5981921

Flavio Carnevale level-classic May 27, 2008

the problem is that my English Daguerres Setter XXIII is too young to fight against well-trained cats.
Great idea the use of a mouse... my wife will not like it!
Thank you, Joao for your comment and your suggestions.

Flavio Carnevale level-classic May 30, 2008

You should ask to my wife... I told you, she trained them to kill all the photographers #5997875

Kevin M. Carnevale June 27, 2008

Be very carefull, my friend. Cats are not known to be pack animals, however, when they get together like this, LOOKOUT! I will send you a report on the war here in the states as soon as it it safe to transmit.

LOL....brillant explanation! Smile. If only the black cat had been in the middle then you would have had a pattern inside the story behind the photograph! LOL! I have 22 cats myself and am loving this shot! #6114291
