Yesterday my neighbor Graham's dog Champ the Shih Tzu came over for a visit. Champ is a sweet boy and very friendly, so he was very happy to stop by, come in and sniff around, and get some petting. He was happy as a clam sitting next to me or crawling into my lap for a snuggle. Then I lured him onto a backdrop and pointed a black plastic thing at him, and he wasn't too sure about that. Despite being a bit shy in front of the camera, and scooting back over next to me at every available opportunity, he was a good boy and we got some good shots.
