Billie's photo shoot

Well, I really admire the folks who wrestle and wrangle our pets into those adorable photos that we see on calendars and holiday letters, etc. I've never taken a dog for a "sitting" before, but this year I decided to get some pictures of Billie. 

The local pet store had a time and date that worked for us. Little did I know that I was expected
 to be in the pen with her, trying to get her to sit, or stay, or be still for a nano second. Billie was so overwhelmed by all the activity and smells in the shop, holding onto her was like holding onto that proverbial greased pig. 
No way could the young lady photographer get anything decent. I was exhausted and discouraged.
 Until. Until I saw the product. She must have had one super fast lens to catch these
...but needless to say, I am well pleased.
