Sit Up Practice (For My Human)

January 7, 2022 By: Summer Samba14 Comments

Summer has sit up practice to help her human hone her photography skills.

We had a couple of days that inched into the 70s so I got to go outside for some sit up practice! But it wasn’t for me. It was for my human! No, she wasn’t trying to sit up. She was working on her photographic skills while I was performing my sitting up. She has yet to master getting a good photo of me doing this.

See what I mean? She cut off the tip of my foot and my paw is out of focus. Okay, the latter part may partly be my fault, since I was waving it around. Unfortunately, this was the best photo of the bunch.

Here is a nostril shot of me with my foot cut off at the toes again.

Most of them came out looking something like this. We practiced for quite a while and this is really all we got.

Wait a minute… it just occurred to me that I was the one doing all the work!

    You both did your best. Those are hard shots to master. I remember trying to video Princess doing high 5 for a contest. She’s not as disciplined as you. Holding the phone (camera), grabbing a treat and getting her to perform. Phew not easy

    She tricked you! At least you got treats. No treats for her.

    Wow, Summer! Those are really difficult shots to get right! We think she did pretty well with that third photo!

    It is harder than it looks, Summer. One of my favourite ads is for Vanquis credit cards. He walks tall!
