I swear to God, I'm gonna tranq my dog and pose him as I see fit.
DRAT YOU!!
I have so many pictures of this razzin' frazzin' dog it's STUPID. None of them worth a damn! ARGH! I took two semesters of photography for @#$#'s sake! I have a degree in Graphic Design! I was whinging to tojvan just the other day about that gorgeous pic of his doggy. Every time I try to take a pic of Taurus, either he's looking down and all his skin falls over his face like a blanket on his head, or he tilts his head back and all that skin goes sliding back so he looks like a mutant Dachschund! I've used entire batteries trying to get that ONE good shot I want to hang on my wall.
It's like he WAITS for the right moment to be regal/poised/stately/ridiculous/adorable (like when he nicked the spatula and had it hanging out of his mouth like some kind of deranged corncob pipe) and I slink away, hoping he won't notice I'm going for the camera, and poof. Nuffin'.
The cats? Photogenic as hell. Dogman, you mentioned your "shape" as "round"? Come visit me in Phoenix, doll. I'll make you look like a ripped friggin' rock star so you can give pics to your girl that she can show off to her friends to make 'em drool.
But this dog? THIS dog! ARGH this dog!!
"Neither snow, nor rain, nor heat, nor gloom of night stays this cur from the swift complication of his Mistress's efforts." He's doing it on purpose.
Gorgeous puppy. Gorgeous shots. Much applause. Very impressed, here. And the "Our Gang" pic is too much. [applause...and weeping]
