Penny practices posing

Hey guys!

Don’t worry, I’m sitting on my leash and I have no intention of going anywhere except to mom for a treat!

Mom is busy doing stuff that doesn’t involve me so I stole her laptop. I don’t think she’ll even notice unless one of you snitches on me. Which I’m sure you won’t.

This is a kayak launching dock. Pretty cool! Mom says we aren’t going kayaking though. Bummer.

So anyway, it hasn’t always been this way with her being so busy. She’s been taking me to a lot of parks lately.

Uh oh! That feather moved! I don’t think I like it!

She says the weather is just perfect, a little cooler, but sunny skies and the trees are just starting to change colors.

Yep, most of the color we found was on this limb. I don’t think that counts as fall color, mom.

She says we can’t waste days like this, so she’s been taking me to a new place almost every day, and I thought you might like to see.

This was at a different park on a different day.

Mostly she’s been training me to pose for her. I wasn’t so sure of this concept at first.

Mom thought I’d never sit on this log for her, but I can channel my inner diva just fine. When I want to.

But eventually I figured out that after I pose I get a treat, and that big black thing in front of her face isn’t really scary after all.

A girl and her shadow.

Plus I talked to my Angel Sister Katie who told me that treats were an integral part of park visiting and especially posing. I think I’m getting it!

My sister sat right here a couple years ago. Mom smiled when I didn’t argue. I think Katie smiled too.

But I could always use more practice, so I’m bugging mom every day to take me somewhere. I find that poking her hard in the knee works pretty good. If you have any other suggestions let me know.

What do you think she’ll ask me to do next?!

I’m not above taking good advice, no I am not!

Talk later, your professional poser, Penny-girl.
