Lek Enters the Photo Contest and Steals the Show
I almost did not enter the pet photo contest. The competition at a cafe in Sukhumvit was judged by a local photographer, and I figured my golden retriever Lek would be too busy sniffing the floor to look anywhere near the camera.
Lek is a Golden Retriever, which means he is never far from a tennis ball, a puddle, or a snack. On the morning before the contest I took him to the park near our building for practice shots. Every time I said look, he looked at the ball in my hand instead. I tried again and again until I had about forty photos of the back of his head.
On the day, the judge stopped at our table and asked what my trick was. I told her the truth: a squeaky toy held just beside the lens and a lot of patience. Lek ended up with a second-place ribbon and a bag of dog treats, which he has already decided are his.
Honestly, I am happy with the photo that made the wall. It shows him mid-jump with his ears flying, and the only thing he is thinking about is the next ball.

Local pet cafes with small events like this are a great way to meet other owners and hear about contests you would never see otherwise.

I always wanted to enter a contest but my cats only care about the box and the fish. Did Lek win anything?

I'm not a dog person but this golden is making me want one. How big is he? Golden retrievers are so soft.

Goldens always know how to win a room, don't they? Taro would have been too busy judging the contest to even notice the camera.

Sí, esos concursos ponen nervioso a cualquiera, pero qué bien que Lek salió en la foto.
