| Pic Impossible Does anyone else have a super hard time taking a good pic of their pup? Unless Ozzy is crashed, he just never sits still. I really want some great pictures but I'm not sure how I'm every going to get them!! It would be nice to have some pic of Ozzy NOT sleeping!

| The only way I can get a halfway decent shot of my two, is to sit them on the kitchen counter or table where they can't get down. Then I have to hold the treat jar up and shake it or they will lay down.

| My saving grace was to teach Harley the "Stay" command and the "leave it" command. We're still working on it, but my plan for Christmas is to have him sit in the photo area, with his paw wrapped around a reindeer toy, and looking at me... we've been practicing, (no useable shots yet) essentially I put him in a stay, then place the toy then if he looks at it I say the leave it command and draw his eyes towards me, then I click like crazy... then have a release command so that he has to stay until you release him... it worked for me When I get some good ones I'll post them.

| I do have a difficult time getting pictures of Gracie. I am not great with a camera to begin with and my active little girl is not one to stop and pose for a minute. I would like to get shots of her doing the funny things she usually does but when I get down on the floor to get a good angle she stops what she is doing to come over to see why I'm on the floor. I guess she is sure I want to play with her. Of course when I am trying to get a picture of one of the cats I can depend on Gracie to walk through the frame so I always get at least a part of her in the photo. It can get frustrating. I do have some great pictures of her sleeping but very few of her being active. |

| first get a camera with image stabilization, it saves you time on a bunch of blurred photos. second have a toy or treat to dangle right above the camera view finder. Voila. |

| Treat above the view finder is a great idea. I'll try that. Thanks
