Whenever I photograph a purse, I try to get one of the dogs to pose with it<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Henry the dog was bored by this lace-print Prada bag in 2008.<\/p><\/div>\n

Gigi the dog lurked near a Louis Vuitton in 2005.<\/p><\/div>\n

The Prada bag that MrB surprised me with for my birthday\/holiday gift last month is so big …<\/p>\n

MrB picked this out all by himself.<\/p><\/div>\n

… that it required the presence of both dogs!<\/p>\n

It was tough to wrangle the two of them into the picture. <\/p><\/div>\n

I was impressed that MrB was brave enough to manage another solo handbag-shopping trip. After he surprised me with a bag in 2010<\/a>, he exclaimed, “There were so many options! How does anyone ever decide?” This time was easier, though, because he knows he can’t go wrong with leopard print<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The two-dog photo reminds me of the band Three Dog Night<\/a>. The band’s name comes from reports of an indigenous Australian custom of sleeping with a dog on cold nights. Colder nights required two dogs. The coldest nights were “three dog nights.”\u00a0 I love Three Dog Night’s cover of Harry Nilsson’s song “One”<\/a> just as much now as I did when I was a kid. I’m a fan of their style too. Shiny shirts, long hair and mustaches are like leopard print — you can’t go wrong!<\/p>\n
