madhatter Registered: 02/03/07 Posts: 70 Loc: North Florida	After my first novel was accepted for publication, my editor asked for an author picture for the book. She suggested an informal pose with one of my animals. Well, I have a golden retriever mix and two cats. First, I tried pictures with the cats. Both had their ears flattened down and wore expressions (as close as cats come to such) of utter disdain, as if I was squeezing the life from them. Not exactly the way I wanted to come across. Then, I had several taken with my dog. She loves the camera. I promise you; she looks like she's smiling the moment someone points a camera her way. Suppose you can guess which of my pets made it to the book... _________________________ author's website: www.rhettdevane.com drop in, I'll put on the coffee...

My dog loves the camera also. chick _________________________ chick ~ Here is the test to find whether your mission on Earth is finished: if you're alive, it isn't ~ ~ Prayer is the most we can do for another human being ~

Dianne Queen of Shoes Registered: 05/24/04 Posts: 6123 Loc: Arizona	One year, I had a picture taken with my two dogs and Santa. They were a Great Dane and a English Mastiff. Over 400 lbs of dog. Santa was exhausted when we finally got a good shot of them. _________________________ If it doesn't feel good, don't do it twice. www.eadv.net Boomer Queen of Shoes

Laurel Registered: 01/10/07 Posts: 431 Loc: Oklahoma, USA	Chatty, My Boston Terrier hates his picture taken. We've taken so many of him he knows what the camera is and starts looking down. I think the flash bothers him. It makes me see spots and I think maybe that's what he doesn't like. If we bribe him with a doggy cookie he'll usually let us take his picture.

Vicki M. Taylor Member Registered: 01/06/03 Posts: 2196 Loc: Tampa, FL	Jack knows about the camera and so far, likes to have his picture taken. But, if I take too many, he'll get up and move away. Bailey doesn't really care whether I take pictures of him or not. He just goes about doing his thing. _________________________ Vicki "What you believe yourself to be, you are." Claude M.
