We thought it should be relatively easy to get a picture of Kovu posing with Tristan and Gwyn. They’re chill with each other, they all have a good sit & stay, they’re all used to waiting patiently while the thumb-monkeys wave a rectangle around.

No, they were great! The difficulty turns out to be us @thelittlespanielthatcould holds a treat where they want Kovu to look; I don’t pick up a treat until I am going to give it immediately. I apparently unconsciously twitch my fingers in a “come here”-looking gesture when I say “Look” (at me); Kovu hops right up and comes to me when I do that.

So there was a lot of laughing and giving treats to good but confused spaniels, and repositioning, and a few decent pics.
