It's not quite big money Hollywood yet, but "Aki", my little German Shorthair Pointer just went professional as a 4-legged kayak model , and is featured in the new 2012-2013 Hobie catalog modeling the Kona.  I'm just her lowly kayak pilot and booking agent.  :smt004

That's way cool Chuck!  I was super impressed with Aki at the aoty ceremony, she would take off and play like crazy, but every 5 minutes, would come check in, and make sure everything was all good! Super good dog :smt001

Mike... it sure looks like it... but actually, Aki was pointing at the seals, and the seals were staring at the boat of camera guys approaching.

Can I borrow the AI her gets for the year?
I blew it as her agent.  I should have negotiated a boat in her modeling contract.
Tote...Aki might be willing to share the doggy treats she earned for the photo shoot.

Nice chuck!

I haven't seen Aki in a while and I was wondering what she's been up to.  Hope to see her soon! (and you too of course)

Ahh... I knew you'd comment on that.  Please don't tell the 2012 model she got traded in for a newer one. :smt044
