This summer, I had two Ice Cream Socials for Dogs (both with Barbie pink backgrounds except for a couple of Kens on blue), one of them for a unique group... striking actors and writers whose dogs were treated to a cone of doggy ice cream and a photo shoot. Hey, SAG and WGA! Woot-woot!
These and the hundreds of dogs I've photographed over the years are... wait for it... The Cone Rangers.
An ice cream cone can be one of your dog's greatest pleasures. Or an object of fear and loathing. Dogs who love people ice cream may do an immediate no for dog ice cream; some know not of the strange substance but are willing to take a sniff. It's a gamble on what looks you'll get but I'm here for it all.
These socials that started on my carport as an experiment in 2014 led to a book, "Dogs Vs. Ice Cream," published by Familius Publishing in 2019. I literally wrote the book on dogs and their cones.
After the book was published, I started doing the socials for charitable causes including dog, kitten and duck rescues. And this year, it was for the writers and actors who got us through the pandemic. Thank you!
Enjoy this latest batch of dogs taking on the cone! We'll see you next year for more sprinkles and fun!
