It never fails. You gather everyone. Ask them to be on their best behavior. Then you snap the picture. There is always one in a family portrait.
A chance like this doesn’t present itself very often. Everyone together and behaving. No siblings poking at each other or instigating games. You whip out the phone, ask them to look at the camera, and take the photo before things fall apart. Only later do you discover the first rule—there is always one in a family portrait.
P.S. – And, yes, there might have been treats involved.
For those new to our world, that would be His Royal Highness Little Prince Typhoon Phooey in the front left and his bestest brother (with the silly grin and eyes closed) Roscoe P. The happy smile in the back row comes from Landon (Boom Boom) and the upper right corner is Frankie Suave.

Canine Kitchen Flood
March 19, 2023
One of my dogs had an accident which resulted in a canine kitchen flood. No, no, not the way you just imagined. He’s more creative than that.
Way Back Wednesday
Each week, we reach back into our vault of over 4,700 previous posts and share a favorite. We hope you enjoy this look back.
The Queen and Decorum
Even after a long hike, a Queen must always avoid a fashion faux pas like, say, an out of place tongue. No, the Queen and Decorum are intact.
Gotta love that Rosco!!
Love this picture of your boys!! Actually the fact you only had to bribe the Prince is huge!! At least you didn’t have to bribe all 4 of them. Great picture even if Roscoe P has closed his eyes. 🐾🐾💕
just LOVE your Family!!! XOXO
Such lovable faces. (Couldn’t help thinking what the cue was to get the all eyes up at once.)
Ah precious ! Sweet Roscoe! I would have expected the Boom to be the disrupter 🐾
four beautiful faces, love this pic
Roscoe only makes the picture better with his silly expression! I also agree it is one to cherish.
A beautiful family! You need some red heads and some girls to fill up the pack. 😉
HU-Dad even IF the photo shows ONE of the herd with eyes closed-it IS a cherished memory as Tonya Rogers said!!!!!
Beautiful picture! One to cherish for years to come❤️
