#blesshisheart. He was a bit, panicked.
Fact. You can't make a 250 lbs English Mastiff do anything he doesn't want to do. And that includes facing the camera, sitting still and taking directions. #overrated.
I won't call this photoshoot a failure because ANYTIME we all spend together is a success, but even though we didn't get that ONE perfect holiday shot, we are left with this sequence. This sequence of chaos and confusion that so perfectly conveys our family dynamic.
-James, being calm and collected.
-Me, being annoying, per usual.
-And Winston, being really, really Winston. #blesss
Sir Winston,
We might have seriously confused/scared the shit out of you while trying to capture your beautiful face on camera, but regardless, you are my Angel Boy, and you never cease to keep us laughing! I love you, you big lug!
Love,
your birth mother
*BIG thanks to my sister, Leah for snapping a few of my boys, and LOTS more photos of Sir Winston and USA Holiday 2015 2014 to come!

ReplyDeleteBless. Sweet boy. My lug is the same way....I bet you are missing that big face.
ReplyDeleteAwe this is adorable! Is he your dog? What a big sweet guy!
ReplyDeleteHahaha, this is hilarious!
ReplyDeletePerfection in the chaos!
ReplyDeleteSuch a love bug! And YES! My sister did an amazing job on her house! Perfection from top to bottom! :)
ReplyDeleteI do! I hope he can come over if we stay for a while...
ReplyDeleteYes! That's my fur-baby! He is such an amazing animal, I miss him sooo much!
ReplyDeleteHe might not be the brightest crayon in the box but he is #mine! :)
ReplyDeleteAbso-effing-lutely :) xx miss your face!
ReplyDeleteSuch a cutie pie, I bet you miss him so much that is a lot of adorableness to love!
ReplyDeleteYou are so adorable! I know exactly how you feel....although my American labrador retriever is only a whopping 40lbs, she will NEVER pose for family photos. It must be against their animal instincts, or something.
ReplyDeleteYour dog is huge!!! I love all of these pictures!
ReplyDeleteHe really is. After being gone for a year and seeing him for the first time, I was like, "damn, that dog is hugeee." LOL Such an angel though!
ReplyDeleteAw! Thanks Ragan! Labs and Mastiffs are my favorite, but you're so right, it's against everything in their bones to take a photo! xx
ReplyDeleteOkay this is hilarious! I love that no one even looks the slightest big annoyed...true dog lovers! I remember the days of attempting to get my dog to pose for photos too, for some reason he was terrified of the camera! Photos of him always looked like he had just gotten into BIG trouble...so sad and sulky! Is he back with you in Scotland?!?!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet dog!! Ours is much the same way. She rarely sits still for anything. I did manage to get this snap of her recently for Instagram. :o)

ReplyDeleteWhenever Winston gets nervous he puts all of his weight into the floor. ie: baths are nearly impossible... He hasn't made the trip over yet.. we are waiting for find out a few things first!
ReplyDeleteOMG! What a sweetie! Is she a German? I loooove German Sheppards!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Yep! That's him!
ReplyDeleteYeah she's a big 'ol softie! Yes, she's a German Shepherd. Make that 'shedder'! Fur everywhere!!
ReplyDeleteThese are precious... I think you got at least a couple keepers! ;)
