OK, so then. One of the very first things we taught the Mag-a-roo was that after you go outside and go potty, you come back in, race around the living room a bit, then stare at Mom (or Dad) until you get a treat. Like so:
 |
| "Y'ello!" "Hello!" "What are you guys doing?" |
It didn't take long at all for Maggie to know exactly where the treats are kept, and to go over there after we stare at Mom for a minute.
 |
| These are the faces of starving Siberians! |
Is Maggie good, or what? Oh, not because she's doing the "sit" thing - I couldn't care less about that! I mean look at that SAD LOOK she's doing!!! YIKES! So young, but so skilled! (For the record, I heard Dad say that's the look that melted his and Mom's hearts and made them choose her.)
Anyway, the girls' treats are kept on the counter; mine are in the magic cold box. You know. If anyone wanted to come over and give us each a little something.
Sometimes Mom takes the treats somewhere else and makes us pose for them.
 |
| "You want us by the front door? Really?" "Does she have treats, Zimmie?" "What are we doing now, you guys?" |
Like Cam has said, Maggie's a quick study and is great at following our lead. Here we all are, by the front door.
 |
| Please don't fault us for being cooperative; Mom had treats! |
Apparently, there's good lighting there. Whatever.
Sometimes Mom likes to go up on the steps to get a different perspective:
 |
| Notice the girls are both sitting down. Good girls! |
Mom asked us to sit and smile.
I opted to smile and let the girls cover the "sit" part. Of course I still got a treat, in case you were wondering. Look at my FACE! How could she resist?!? (Besides, when you're 13-1/2 and have stiff joints, you get a few perks around here.)
That's a wrap for Photo Finish Friday! Which portrait do you like best?
Have a great weekend!
Play bows,
Zim

Zim, I'd have to say the girls have you beat when it comes to sad eyes. Pathetic (and very cookie worthy).
