11*365: Putting Your Dog Up on a Pedestal!

Last week we talked about getting down to your dog’s level but today’s tip takes it a step further: putting your dog up on a pedestal! (OK, we probably all do that anyway…but we’re talking about literally putting them up for a photo!)
While it’s easy to pick up a small dog for a photo, it’s not possible with large dogs. Regardless of the size of your dog, though, you’ll find that putting your dog on a raised platform can give you an all new perspective for the photo.
This afternoon, we went outside and Tiki got on the decking that goes to our above the ground pool. The deck she stopped on is just about three feet above the ground as you can see in this photo…

…but it’s high enough to get an all new angle for the photo…

Think about what platforms you can use around your house, whether a chair, the stairs, or a porch. And, as always, if you use today’s 365 tip, please be sure to leave a comment below and attach your photo (just click the + button below the comments!)
