Comfy puppy

I have been wanting to get my camera focused on Waggles the dog for some time now.

She is a low key basset mix, who loves to have her ears rubbed.

We started my visit today with a few cookies..you know to butter her up real good for posing!!

Actually I think what happened was that Waggles mom brought in a few styrofoam dishes, which normally signals to this dog that leftovers are coming her way. That was not the case today...but how is a dog supposed to know such things???
It was a genuine misunderstanding...so she got cookies to tide her over.

Waggles was none to excited about our photo shoot today. I don't really think she got enough forewarning and wasn't really planning on having to be "on" today.

I get that!!

Do you see how short her legs are???
Well that meant getting way down on the floor to get on her level.
It seems that every time I did get all the way down to the floor and got her in focus...she made for another direction.

That was okay though, it was good practice, and besides I had something else in mind anyway.
I knew when I saw my photo challenge for the day that Waggles had to be the one to be the star of the show.
The project: Where they are comfortable.


You see, Waggles has a special chair.
It used to have legs, but since she is getting on in age and doesn't have the jump like she used to, the chair now sits on the floor.
It is her chair and her chair alone...and she looks adorable in it.


She let me snap off about 6 close shots quickly while she laid here in the chair, then...she dismissed me. These were shot at 800 ISO and some other things I cannot remember. Boy am I tired.

I would say, without a doubt that Waggles is comfy in her chair!
Mission accomplished.
I have so much more to share with you, but just cannot today.
It is already 10:30 and I am running on empty, so it will have to wait until tomorrow.

Okay, maybe one photo as a teaser!!!

Ha ha ha, more birds...but no bubble gum this time...I made sure of it!!!
Oh, and I got my lens. No time today though to use it. So tired. gonna get.

Thanks to Waggles family for letting me click away at your place today, I appreciate it!!
