My human wasn’t happy with any of the Fourth of July props she saw this year. And the ones we already have were used in multiple photo shoots. Since I normally share outtakes on Sunday, I thought it would be fun to look at my Fourth of July outtakes throughout the years. So here you go! The one above, where I look supremely awkward, is from 2016, when props (if not life) was simpler.
Here I am a year later, in a typical photo session pose… I’m walking off the set to ask for a treat! Hey, modeling is a lot of work, and I need to keep up my energy.
Here’s one from another photo session the same year (the backdrop was clearly too busy to be behind me). Apparently, my attitude hadn’t improved much since the prior session.
There were a lot of outtakes from that Fourth of July session!
Things had improved a couple of years later. (We didn’t have a Fourth of July photo session in 2018.) A photo from this group wound up in my 2020 calendar.
This, in spite of some glaring mistakes on my human’s behalf. Like photo bombing me with this cat toy. You can tell by my face (what you can see of it) how annoyed I was.
And this one is from last year. Happy Independence Day to all my U.S. pals. I hope you are all having a great holiday. I am!

Hugs, Teddy
Summer we love seeing all your photos including the outtakes! What a cute little tongue you have sweetie. Hope you had a great 4th, we did!
These are very festive outtakes, Summer! We always have a hard time finding decorations. That’s probably why we never have any holiday photo shoots! MOL
Happy 4th to you and your Mom Summer!
Hee. We love the one with the photobombing cat toy, because it looks more St. Patrick’s Day than 4th of July!
Happy Independence Day, sweet friends!
Summer, I shall dream of you in your 4th of July top hat! You look terrific sweetie. I love that look on your face when your human photo bombed you! We hope you and your human had a very Happy Independence Day!
Cute outtakes! Happy 4th, friends!
Funny blooper, Summer! Happy 4th of July!
Happy 4th, Summer!

Happy July 4th to all!
Happy Independence Day!
Those were all darn cute sweet Summer! Happy Independence Day!!!
Those are all nice outtakes. Happy Independence Day!
Love ALL of these photos! Have a safe and happy 4th! We’re staying put because Levi is on day 7 of neutering recovery…….5 days to go and we are losing our minds! Keeping a 32 lb dog from jumping and running (a 9 month old puppy who is a high-energy breed to begin with), is a NIGHTMARE!!!!
Dearest Summer and cat Mom,
Wishing you a happy 245th Independence Day!
Hugs,
Mariette
Summer you looked smashing in all of them. We have noticed it is hard to find decorations for various holidays, there was barely any Valentine stuff this year.
Happy 4th of July!!!!!
I like your 2nd picture of you walking off set to ask for a treat.
It’s what I would do 😉 MOL!
Purrs, Julie
I do like all those old props – really pretty.
Happy 4th!
