dogs: the difficulty of a Dramatical Pose

2025 02 25 17.46.22

[Remy, a big black dog with white toes, is blurry, caught in the act of jumping down from a log. ]

Remy is the very goodest of dogs. Except when it comes to a good dramatical pose.

He’s not … he’s not very good at those.

This is about as good as it gets.

[ Remy’s standing on a precarious-looking stack of logs, facing away from the camera. His ears are flopped and tucked slightly back. He’s properly looking off into the distance, but his head is slightly blurry. ]

Oh, he’ll _hit_ the pose, all right. For approximately a nanosecond, & then he’s off trying to do the next thing.

As witness.

[ He’s still in the same spot, but looking down now, and he’s raised one blurry forepaw in preparation to jump down and dash off in another direction entirely. ]

Possibly I need another person to hold the camera while I hold the leash. Or vice versa, I’m not picky. Or fast enough.

[ This time he’s standing on a straw bale. Beautiful head posture, soulful gaze, head blurry, no thoughts. ]

… & he’s off again.

[ Everything’s blurry — dog, straw bale, sky. His head has already disappeared off the left side of the shot. His tail is pointed straight up, and even blurrier than the rest of him. ]

… at least he’s having a good time.
