We were taking photos late yesterday afternoon for the fall print newsletter when Daisy the Dachshund started going after a fly that was buzzing around. She loves catching flies … she'll be out on the porch, snapping away at them. And despite being so small and with a bad spine, her reflexes are so quick she actually catches more than you'd think.
Kate was behind the camera, and in the first photo above, you can see Daisy has just started to go for a fly … her tongue is coming out. (You may need to click on the photo for a larger image to see it.) Then, snap!:
Unfortunately, she missed and then became preoccupied with finding where the fly went:
It took us a while to get her refocused on the job at hand, which was looking cute for the camera:
Please note that although it may have looked in the first three photos like Alayne was standing next to a cardboard cut-out of me that didn't move, the last photo should convince you I was actually alive and present for the photo shoot.
