Modeling is Hard Work

On our latest foray at Riverbend Park, Hank came up with the idea of snapping a group photo, so we all jumped up on this fallen tree. He must be planning something, because it’s kind of early for a Christmas card photo.

Since the weather was in the low 20’s and windy, it was a challenge for our selfie stick to capture our 3 very different personalities in one photograph. I’ve loaded some of the photos to show that we are all troopers and put in a solid effort. The guys were getting frustrated, and I told them on several occasions to “model through it” but after reviewing our portfolio, it’s clear they didn’t listen to me.

I quickly created a playlist of our favorite ABBA songs on my iPhone to keep everyone fired up, but Hank thought music would be too distracting during the shoot, so he made me turn the music off. It was all downhill from there. Hank insisted that we try this again very soon, but Otto thought it best to wait for warmer weather. Because blue lips and freezing paws are not sexy. I’m with Otto on this one.

Our trip to Riverbend Park was our second attempt at modeling. We did a dry run on a jaunt to Reston Town Center, but nobody took charge. We never agreed on our places or the shots we were trying to make, so we just walked back and forth, looking a bit confused.

As a puppy, I am up for anything, so I didn’t get discouraged by our 2 previous attempts. The next day, I was out with Hank at Riverbend Park, and we found this bench on the Paw Paw Trail. I think we seem a bit too tense in the photos and lack chemistry.

What do you guys think?

Like the good dogs we are, we filed this under Videos and we tagged it with Ernie, Hank, Otto, Reston Town Center, Riverbend Park.

Fresh face of the group. Up for just about anything going on, except when I'm napping. Lifetime ambition: pinning Hank or Otto in a wrestling match, fair and square.
