Now that I am working from home, almost every day of the week, my human interaction is quite limited to business emails and social media. Today I needed a break from my computer.
Lately I’ve been toying with the idea of giving Chloe her own instagram account… because let’s be real… all the cool pets are doing it. Beyond that - she’s a unique dog. Blonde Border Collies are few and far between. They are as hard to find as those collector edition, teddy bear beanie babies were back in the 90s. So if some silly cat from South Africa can have thousands of followers, I have hope for C-lo’s page. And yeah… I follow that silly cat from South Africa. He’s just so stinkin cute!
But where does one start with the idea of having an instagram page for your pet? I’m pretty positive you have to be able to master a solid photo sesh with said pet.
Which is what I attempted to do on my 30 minute get-away-from-your-desk-break today.
Pretty sure we failed. Miserably.
I spent more time saying “NO! No, sit still!” “Do you want a cookie?” and “Rockie stop pulling the backdrop down!!” than having a good time.
Turns out Chloe is a much better model when she is in her natural habitat (i.e. playing in the snow) than she is posing for biscuits.
With that being said, we decided to pick one to turn into a Valentine’s e-picture just for you!
Cute, right?!
After uploading the pictures to my computer, I was shocked to see that one of the “pictures” was actually a video. I know I’m not the first to accidentally record when you mean to snap. But this totally wasn’t the case! Apparently my camera decided to make a video all on it’s own. And as it turns out, I love this video more than the pictures! You will see me bribe my dog with cookies, my horrible photography skills in action, and Rockie crash the shoot.
And now, just a few others that you may love on this lovely loving holiday.
After pulling down the left side, Rockie decided to go to the right side and poke chloe in the butt… until Chloe went all diva-licious on us. Which unfortunately isn’t on the video.
Then the cat stole the ribbon and left.
So with all that being said, I am pretty darn positive that chloe will not be getting her own instagram account. At least, not if Rockie has anything to do with it.
Happy Valentine’s Day Loves! While I’m counting down the days until my husband returns from military obligations on the other side of the country… I hope you’re holiday is a bit more exciting than mine! Spend it with some actual humans okay?
Oh - and if someone can explain why my camera gave me the video, I’d really appreciate it. Muah!
