Nico wasn’t particularly interested in getting his photo taken this evening. He was ready for dinner and the couch. He’s a good boy; he’ll pose for me even when he doesn’t necessarily want to. It has been interesting to see his behavior evolve in front of the camera over the years. It’s clear that he knows it’s time to work when the camera comes out. Sometimes, if I grab my camera, he will spring into action, knowing we’re going to go do something together. Other times, he gives me a look like the one below.
