Beaumont: Louise! That’s not my best profile! And why on earth would you share a photo of me with my tongue sticking out.
Me: Because it’s the only photo I took that wasn’t blurry?
Beau: I’m sitting still. How can it be blurry?
Me: Your sitting still doesn’t last very long Beau. I catch the photo when I can.
Beau: Oh. So you’re blaming me for your poor craftsmanship?
Me: No Beau. I’m just saying, trying to grab a photo of you is hard when you won’t sit for very long.
Beau: Are you suggesting I’m not very well-trained.
Me: Maybe more like… not very obedient.
Beau: Hmmm…. does sound to me like you’re trying to pass along blame to make-up for your deficiences. You know what they say about being accountable Louise. Right?
Me: Oh dear. What do they say Beau?
Beau: You lead by example. And your blaming me for your lack of skills in photography is not setting a very good example on how to be accountable.
Me: And what is it I’m not being accountable for Beau?
Beau: The fact I don’t sit still.
Me: But you’re the one not sitting still.
Beau: My still sitting or not still sitting is a reflection of the time you put into my upbringing, Louise. Would you not agree?
Me: Do I have a choice?
Beau: And now you’re being sarcastic? Oh my Louise. The depths to which you’ll go to make yourself appear the victim. Remember, you are accountable for everything you allow in your life.
Me: Are you suggesting I allowed you to not sit still?
Beau: Did you teach me how to sit still?
Me: I’m not sure I even had a choice. You’ve always done what you wanted Beau.
Beau: I’ve always done what I thought was best for our relationship Louise. That’s just the kind of dawg I am.
Me: Well, in that case, wouldn’t it be best if you sat still on my command?
Beau: After over 8 years together Louise I thought you’d have figured it out by now. I Don’t Do Commands.
Me: (Sighing) A girl can dream, can’t she?
Beau: Don’t be so small minded Louise. You are 100% accountable for your dreams. No sense wasting them on the impossible. I ain’t gonna perform to your commands.
Me: (sighing) That’s what I was afraid of.
Beau: Instead of being afraid Louise, I suggest you work on your photography skills. Maybe switch to Video? At least then you’ll catch all my moves ’cause believe me, I’ve got some good ones!
Me: (sighing again) I know you do Beau. I know you do.
And so it goes. Beau once again out-maneuvres me and I am left shaking my head in consternation and wonderment.
How does he do it?
Beau: I told ya’. I got moves. (grinning big -time)

Why do people and dawgs blame the picture taker for a blurry shot and not themselves for moving just a bit, I don’t take take good photos doesn’t matter which side of the camera I am on…….
