Mine are such hams! The only major problem I have is getting a photo without Shiva in it. Every time she sees the camera, Shiva makes certain that she's between the camera and everyone else. I have no idea how she's figured this out; she obviously doesn't think it's a threat because she poses.

Haaa!! haaaaa!!! I missed this one.

Puppies are the hardest thing for to take a picture of while posing.
But the natural shots are the best anyhow, when they don't know
you're taking their picture.
