Thanks, Dee Dee! It was tough - the puppies didn't really want to cooperate, they were too happy to be out of their pens/cages. Lucky if we got a keeper within 20 clicks. Also, the pet shop owner was pretty darned adamant about "cute" being the order of the day. Told via email they were going for more props, I arrived to find I was the one who was supposed to bring them. Ooops. I'm definitely the only guy I know who just happens to have a garland of plastic leaves and a pumpkin and doggie-sized scarf in the trunk of his car.

Also, I was crammed in a back room, next to three cages of sick puppies, all barking and whining into my ear less than 6 inches away. Left there with muscle cramps and a facial tic.
