Over the weekend, I was having a bit more fun with Benny asking him questions and getting his head to tilt. In addition to taking pics, we got a little video of Benny in action. Notice Henry in the background. You get a little head turn from him, but nothing like Benny.
Getting a head title out of Benny is almost too easy and it is a privilege that I abuse regularly. All you have to do is say a string of words that he knows. For example, for this shot, I asked "Benny, have you seen mommy? Did Grammy come to see you today? How about G-Ma? Is G-Ma going to come see you? Did you eat your lunch today? How about Henry? Where's Henry? Where's your sister? Looney?"
As you talk, you are sure to get the classic, left, right, little more to the right, back to the left pug head tilt.
I think Benny has been reading the blog and is a little jealous of all the love that Luna gets. I was trying to get a good shot of Luna and Benny kept walking into the background. He wasn't about to let Luna get all the limelight. He made sure to at least work his tush into the frame.
It is commonly known that Henry loves the Florida heat. He is a sun worshipper through and through. I feel like I myself should be over the surprise of this. (Trust me, while I am thrilled to no longer have to shovel snow, the Florida sun is not always my best friend.) In any event, while I have come to expect that Henry loves the sun, sometimes when I find him in the position these photos show, I sometimes go over to him and shake him just to be sure he's not dead or passed out. Henry, having the wise guy personality he does, looks at me like, "ma, what's the deal? I'm just getting in my sun time and soaking up my vitamin D. Relax." While these photos do not flatter Henry, they do demonstrate how he is "living the Florida lifestyle." (Other Floridians may appreciate that catch phrase for the Beall's Department Store jingle.)
