Sitting still for a change.
Photographing Luna is no easy task. As soon as the thought even crosses your mind that you should snap a picture of her, she inevitably moves. It is like she wants no proof of her cute or silly behavior. This is probably how most dogs behave, but I have been really spoiled with the boys. Both of them love to mug for the camera and you can stick the camera right in their face and they will not budge. I can hover, lean, poke and pry and they just ignore me. Which makes it really easy to photograph them.
Luna also has a super dark face which turns out too dark in lots of photographs. I almost always have to lighten her photographs so that you can see the detail in her face.
All things considered, though, she has improved a lot since we first adopted her. When we first brought her home, it took a couple of months for me to get a half way decent shot of her.
She is such a sweetie and I try so hard to capture that, but most of the time she just comes out looking like one big blur.

Here’s an up close and personal shot of Benjamin. Can’t wait to read your captions in the comments!

It turns out that Benjamin has been sharpening his modeling skills since he was a pup. Last week, I posted about him Striking a Pose and as I was going through some photographs this weekend, I saw one from when he was a puppy with that same over the shoulder glance.
He should be a pro by now.

The stockings were hung from the entertainment center with care…
We don’t have a fireplace, so each year we carefully hang the stockings from the entertainment center. When we built the house, we still had northern blood and we thought including a fireplace in the house was just the funniest thing. Why on earth would people in Florida need a fireplace, we laughed. Now that we have acclimated a bit, and anything under 70 degrees seems pretty chilly, there have been nights when we have thought that fireplace might come in handy.
In any case, the entertainment center has served us well and proudly displays everyone’s stockings. Leading up to Christmas, we tuck any little presents that we pick up into the stockings. However, treats do not go into the stockings until Christmas morning. We wouldn’t want Baby Benny to get a crick in his neck from staring up at the stockings willing the treats to come to him.

Luna has a thing for rolling around in the grass. She gets a good laugh out of me each time she flops herself on her back and flaps around like a fish out of water, even though I know she is just doing it to mark her territory.
There is a whole process leading up to the infamous roll. First she catches a scent that she can’t resist. Then she paws at the grass and then out of nowhere she just flips around and lands smack on back and just wiggles around until she feels like she has adequately covered the scent.
I have been trying my best to get a video of this process, but so far have been unsuccessful. It really is quite a sight and she is ever so pleased with herself when she is finished.

Here I come to save the day! I just love how Benny’s ears are flapping in this picture.
