The most patient subjects

Every once in a while I get the urge to take some shots of our pets. They are very patient with this, but still only last about 90 seconds max before they are ready to go.

I had to lure Abbo (our black lab) over with about 5 or 6 dog treats. That was all I could do to get him to lay there for three and a half seconds. Then he was done, as you can clearly tell by his expression. What a sweet dog!

Gumbo, our relatively new cat, was a little more patient. I had to lure her over with this feather on a string that's on a stick. I propped it up, just out of her reach, and she sat there staring up at it, trying to reach it a few times, then in boredom, realizing she couldn't reach it, she yawned. I snapped the shutter and nearly died laughing when I saw this image below. Have you ever known a cat to have a mouth that big?? Hilarious!
