Life With Ziggy

I can think of a lot of words that might be used when thinking about life with Ziggy, but boring is not one of them. Challenging, aggravating, difficult, entertaining, rewarding...and did I mention aggravating? These are all good descriptions for life with Ziggy. And sometimes, it can't be described as anything other than just plain fun. For example, after shooting Ziggy's adoption video, I tried to get him to pose with me for a few still pictures. I have a remote for my camera so I can do this without anyone's assistance. That does make it a bit more difficult to get him to look at the camera. But I had a lot of fun trying. Here are some of the pictures from our "photo shoot".



Ziggy glances at the camera, so I press the button. 

By the time the picture is taken, Ziggy is looking away again.

We try this a few more times, and then switch sides. 

 No improvement on this side.  So I decide to see if some food motivation will help.

 Nope, that just sets him to begin begging.  Another dozen tries, and finally...

 we have a decent picture.

Thank you Ziggy!

No really, kisses are not necessary!

 No Ziggy, I don't have any more treats in my hand.  It's just the camera remote.

Yes, I know you would settle for chewing on the remote.  I'm sorry, but you can't have it!

No, you can't convince me to change my mind. 

 And you can't chew the remote through my hand.

Yes, I do think you're adorable!

But you still can't have the remote.
