ROFL!!! Chimi? Laid back????
He is just easily entertained, I think. And I also think he really loves the attention. And I'm willing to bet that he knows people are cooing over him in those pictures when I show them to other folks. He loves to work too... I always ask him if he's ready to work... and he'll do anything. LOL.
Also... treats are a must, depending upon him mood.
Awwwww!! I've been showing all of my relatives and Chimi's relatives pics of Ellie on here... LOL. Saying that she was Chimi's internet gal!! And one fine day he'll get to the UK to see that beautiful red head. LOL.
Thanks for all of the compliments on little Chim Chim. He really is quite a remarkable guy!!
Wow! Chimi takes such great photos and is so good at posing for you. I once took Bella & Beni to a free photo shoot at Petco and we couldn't get them to stay still....they just ran all over the place.
I did a shoot at a PetSmart for a 50% discount on our puppy classes and a gift card... and good lord. I had such a headache afterwards. Some of the dogs sat still, but a good deal of them wouldnt, and the worst was when people's kids kept on running through the set up, or running up to the dogs when I was about to take a shot.
I had a harder time with people's children, and Chimi stayed in his pet flys carrier the entire time, with the flap open, because he kept on getting chased by people and other animals. I had some fun dealing with the dogs that wanted to cooperate... but in that setting it was really stressful.
It's so much easier when I actually get a client, and they allow me to come to their home to shoot their pets. The pet is more comfortable there, and everything works out a lot better. LOL.
Yea, There is too much going on in those pet stores to distract little doggies (chihuahuas). I definitely think it is easier to get good photos of pets at home where they are comfortable.
