Today’s Story:  Took the dog out into the yard for a photo shoot for this post.  Got some decent pictures…then it was time to go in.  And, of course, this was one of those times when “Let’s go in the house” meant, “Stay as far away from me as you can get.”  Took me five minutes of cajoling to get her to come near me.

Once in the house, I wanted to get a picture of her with Bumble.  I still had my telephoto on my camera, so I needed her to be some distance from me in order to get a clear picture.  So of course she glued herself to my feet and followed me around like she was sewn to my shoes.
