Getting good photographic close-ups is always a challenge, but the difficulty with canines can be particularly intense. Hu-Dad was over at our cousins’, Tartok and Ruby, house and was trying to take some close-ups.
Ruby loves attention and is a fairly easy photographic model. Hu-Dad was able to take many serious close-ups like the one above, and even some clown shots like below.
Tartok, however, was quite the challenge. He believes in more of a drive-by approach to snuggling, wandering the house and periodically appearing for attention. Hu-Dad took many photographs, but the best close-up he managed of Tartok was just a wee bit too close.

Omg that close up of Tartok was amazing. It made me laugh. Ruby is a very beautiful girl and I loved her pictures too. Hugs and kisses to the herd and to Tartok and Ruby.
I have just given myself a coughing fit I laughed so hard at the photo of Tartok, it’s brilliant, also loving Ruby’s sideways glance .

That is a great closeup, what are you talking about!
Mom sez: Tartok isn’t by any chance a blood relative of Typhoons, is he? Just wondering. That picture of Tartok is priceless!
