Photo Opportunities!!!

Since Ginger was a young pup I'd never again taken the time to get Baylie and Ginger together to get their picture taken with props and everything...until now. A friend of mine told me about a photographer that was taking animal photos at the Fur and Feathers resort on January 23rd and 24th. That Sunday the 24th the sun had finally made it out after a full week of rain so Mom and I had decided to take the girls on a walk along the bike path. On the way I convinced her we needed to make a quick pit stop to get the girls' picture taken. It was STRANGE...the woman wouldn't let me come in the room, claiming that dogs often do better without their owners there. As she took the girls back she asked if they'd have any problems being LIFTED??? Who puts BIG dogs on tables for photos--like I said, STRANGE. I told her to be careful with Baylie's back leg because of her recent surgery but told her they should be alright. I then listened anxiously at the door. About 10 minutes later the girls were dragging the woman out the door toward me! She then tells me that she'll email me the photo she feels came out best without any royalty restrictions within 1-2 weeks. She only showed me ONE photo and I didn't get to choose the one I liked best and was essentially paying for!?!?! So STRANGE! I kept my fingers crossed that she'd pick a good one but when I got the email I was so disappointed by Baylie's uncomfortable stance and near snarl. I then emailed her asking for her to send me one where Baylie was smiling because she almost ALWAYS smiles in a photo! I was grateful that she did send me a better shot without asking for more money. O-well...guess I should look into a photographer a bit more before I decide on a whim to employ their services to avoid future STRANGE! :)

Weird. Weird props too. Strange comments. Where did you hear about this person?

Ginger doesn't look comfortable at all.

Yeah, I don't think Ginger was comfortable at all...and the props were titled "Junk Yard Dogs"...
