Cider Photos
I took this pic in the fall when the flowers around the mailbox were in full bloom
to use for our card we send out in the spring
letting folks know the greenhouse is open for the season.
We put a piece of bread with bacon fat on it in the mailbox to get Cider
to jump up there and get it.
We have used photos of cider for a few years now, the customers LOVE Cider!
Here is last year's pic for the sale we have later in the season.
It all started with this photo that I too on the spur of the moment
when we needed something quickly,
I stapled the Open sign to his collar.
He is such a good sport
I have made him jump in the wheel barrow
sit in the van
sit in a flower pot
and stand behind the cash register
He does whatever I tell him to do and all with a smile,
he greets the customers when they come to the greenhouse,
he is such a good boy!

What a sweetheart Cider is!!! Makes me think of King, our wonderful collie that we had years ago!!! I love the creativity of the shots you have taken!!! You are just too clever Beth!!!

makes me smile.

Whatever you do, do NOT, I repeat DO NOT let @BoulderSalem see these pics! It will either be love at first site or pure jealousy! He's very good at carrying @BoulderChristina's water, but I don't know if he can get the mail....or drive....or sit his tail in a potting bucket! Then again, he can type as he has his very own Xanga account!
I love them all.
Aww. He is very cooperative!
Cider is so smart!!!
Must be a reflection of his owner!
Ahhhh! I know my mom was so concerned once when you sent a card and Cider wasn't on it.
Those are great! Thanks for starting my day with a Cider smile!
Cider is so photogenic. He has 'star' written all over his sweet face.
I can't get my five dogs to do anything!
I like the mailbox one and man, he likes the bacon! lol
you're very creative
I hope you informed the Feds that you are paying your child actor union scale!
You should make those pictures into a calendar! He is a beautiful dog! How old is he now? Charlie is 12.
Dogs are best friends
Awesome photos!--karen
Terrific pics, and I bet they bring in the customers.
I love me some Cider.
Cider is the best salesdog you could ever ask for! I especially love the one of him behind the wheel! So absolutely adorable! There was a greenhouse near my apartment that used to have an old bloodhound that would greet people. I just loved going there to see him!

ha! Cider is beautiful. we had a black and white collie when i was little. wonderful dogs, sweet and gentle.
@TheSutraDude - Yes, Collies are sweet and gentle!
Wow, Cider is a very cooperative dog!!!
@seedsower - they sure are. i love dogs. i brought a black lab puppy home when i was a teen. my mom was at first upset but in minutes she fell in love with him. once he grew up we wrestled all the time. he'd put his teeth on my wrists but never hurt me, never broke my skin. the same with a female doberman of a neighbor. i'd get on the ground and we'd wrestle. people were generally afraid of her because she was a doberman. she never sunk her teeth into me either. dogs are great. i can't say enough about them and Cider is beautiful.
Lovely dog... I enjoy taking pictures of our animals too... perhaps I should get one in a cowboy hat....
very nice
awwww
such a cooperative dog
What a great mascot! He is adorable!
