Butters – my canine manatee and I had a quiet day inside.   Too hot to be out, chores done.  Both still – on our opposing couches.

I took the first photo of her on my ipad – her face mirroring my own boredom.

When I decided to get my ‘real’ camera out – she took off immediately, as she usually does, not wanting anything to do with it.

Then she  came back  – and was uncharacteristically cooperative.  Toward the end of the ‘photo session’ she seemed to be posing for me – allowing me to lay on the ground, zooming in on her, clicking away as she stayed still.

I give you some of our moments.
