Crazy Animal People

In our family room I wanted to put 4 pictures on the wall.

Stephen disagreed with me on the subject of these pictures.

I wanted to do a picture of each pet.

He said it would make us look like those crazy animal people.

My rebuttal was this,

"One, we are crazy animal people.

Two, it would only look like that if the pictures were of them dressed up in outfits.

Three, they are going to be black and white and look artistic.

And four, we are crazy animal people!"

I won.

So I worked hard to try and get a really great picture of each of the pets.

I wanted to capture their personalities in the picture.

Pet pictures are hard to do.

As soon as you start paying attention to the pet, they stop what they are doing and come running over to you.

This leads to a lot of blurry photos.

Giselle was easy. I caught her sleeping on the bottom of the bookshelf.

She is very photogenic.

We always joke that she is a piece of decor because she is always curled up perfectly somewhere, looking pretty.



I got Willow next.

This was a fun photo because I was able to catch her in her goofiness.

This is also very much like her being that she is a big couch potato.



And yes, she really does sleep like that.

I knew it would be hard to get Bagheera since he is outside all the time.

Luckily, I caught him in a rare moment of hanging out on our bed.

Bagheera is the name of the panther in Jungle Book.

And he is quite a jungle cat.

This picture gets that (probably because Giselle came in the room and he was about to pounce on her).




This next picture was a close 2nd that showed another side of Bagheera.

Bagheera is a ladies man and his theme song should really be "I'm too sexy (for my collar)"

He always walks around like he's "all that".

Look at that face!



Now Lilo is the hardest.

She doesn't hold still and she is always getting her muzzle all dirty.

I haven't gotten her picture yet but I used one from a while ago that I don't love, but it works for now.



So this is how it turned out.



What do you think?

Are we crazy animal people?
