Cooperating for Photos 1, Lesson 3

Tail wags to all - it's me, Stormy. Welcome back to Cooperating for Photos 1, here at the Stormy Zoluschka Kryschtal School of Siberian Studies. I was very happy to hear from many of you that you've been working on your lessons, practicing the Siberian art of cooperation (or lacking thereof), and will soon post pictures of your own progress. I can't wait to see how your hard work is paying off!

Today's lesson is "Do It If You Feel Like It". It's important to let your biped get a good shot of you on occasion - especially if you want the cookies to keep coming. Just when he is about to give up, let him get a really great picture. Reward him, in other words. It'll make him happy and keep the cookies flowing!

For example, just when Mom was about to give up on Dave and me yesterday, Dave gave her this pose:

See my shadow in there, too? On the brick path? We got cookies when Dave sat AND when Mom downloaded the pix and saw how interesting this one was. Way to go, Dave!

I could give you many more examples, but if you see a good picture of any of us on our blog, you can pretty much assume the following:

1) cookies were involved
2) Mom is thankful she has a digital camera
3) she mentioned to whoever she's trying to photograph that her patience was being tried (whatever that means!)
4) the pictured Sibe gave in at a time of his or her own choosing!

We'll be stopping by your blogs to see your progress! Look! Here's Zim, checking in on one of his best buddies, Marley!

Hey, it's the Mars Bar!

Remember to make the bipeds work for it - but also remember to reward them.

Tomorrow, I'll address those of you who like the camera.

Tail wags,
Storms
