Riley enjoys helping us make the bed each morning.
He thinks we do it to give him a more comfortable perch from which to survey his domain.
But he’s never much trusted the camera.
He insists this is his best angle.
So he’s reluctant to turn a different way.
Closeups from this spot are great, he advised. And wouldn’t budge.
“Enough already,” I told him.
But, he told me, head-on, the camera makes his eyes look too deep-set. “You’re still adorable,” I assured him.
Ok, it’s true. He does resemble Pigpen. It was a few days before he visited the dog spa for his bath and grooming.
Snuggled under the bedspread, he tells me the photo shoot is over.
After a hard day of play, Riley loves him some sleep.
Down for the count.
Sweet Dreams Riley!
