All I wanted was just one good picture of Rhody in the weeds for an illustration for the gardening column. I wrote about weed seeds, such as foxtail and burclover, that are dangerous to pets. That article will post on Monday, but can be found now at the Canyon News.
Anyway, Rhody would not cooperate. His defiance was so annoying, . . . but also adorable. I used a picture of another terrier on the lawn at Felton Covered Bridge Park instead. (The article in the Canyon News does not use the thumbnail image.) These are a few of the pictures of Rhody that I did not use.
Even though they are irrelevant to horticulture, I posted these pictures here because they are too amusing to delete without sharing. My primary ‘Six on Saturday‘ article was posted separately.
1. Rhody really can be cute until he realizes that I want to get a picture of him.
2. Then he gets pompous.
3. He briefly considered trying to cooperate.
4. He did not consider it for long
5. Then he got annoyed that I was still trying to talk him into being cute for pictures that he wanted no part of.
6. By this time, it was obvious that I needed to turn the camera off.
This is the link for Six on Saturday, for anyone else who would like to participate:

Rhody is doing a great air sneck in the second picture – one of the best I’ve ever seen. He somehow reminds me of my grandma too, especially the last picture. She didn’t much like having her photo taken either.

I don’t know how he knows how to do that. I don’t think he learned it from me.

You can’t beat gardening with a dog; it adds another dimension to gardening. Mind you when in the U.K. I would Garden with dogs and chickens, then you really had to watch out.

I don’t do any gardening ‘with’ him. I do all the gardening myself, while he just digs up what I just planted.

Yes he is; although not very cooperative when I need a picture.

Hey, one of Rhody’s lady friends is Maltese. I don’t know what she sees in him, but I won’t argue with it. She can wrestle with the best of them.

He’s adorable right now, as he stares at me, waiting for me to turn off the computer and take him back to the meadow.

Daddy?! We are not related! I just work for him.
While we were out there, he made a point of rolling around in the tall grass in a manner that would have been perfect for the picture that I wanted. We are going to town no so he can see some friends.

He is fast, and can be elusive when he knows a camera is following him.
