Our apologies for the late Easter posting, editor's fault. But these are too good not to share anyway.

One sunny day sandwiched between several cloudy and rainy days spelled some brief moments of "torture" for some of the Applegate fur family members. ​
The canines were the first victims as the lighting was better outside.

Clem, of course, was the best poser.

This unfortunately meant that he endured the most humiliation with multiple photo sessions.

He also received more treats in return for his cooperation.
​
​ However, he too had a point where he had had enough. 
Sadie was able to pause for a moment and treats to give her happy bunny face.

(Author's note: This was Sadie's final costumed photo shoot before her passing. As always, she handled it like a pro.)

Jeb also required several sittings. However, that was due to excessive energy and no cooperation. Finally, I settled for an indoor shot where the lively young bloodhound could be confined to a smaller area.

Gus clearly showed a pained expression on his face as he endured the persecution prompted by the bunny ears. Another shot caught him in mid-chew as he devoured a treat that was used as a bribe.

Even though they were inside, several Applegate felines couldn't escape the torment of the bunny ears. The ears designed specifically for felines included Velcro fasteners which meant the headdresses were not easily discarded. Timus' photo looked more like a chef's hat than rabbit ears. Each feline displayed an expression of disgust.

 However, Ernie was clearly the winner of the most offended look. That's just the nature of things 'round here.
