Cheese!



    Meet Winston. Winston has a reputation for being the Ferris Bueller of the dog world. I think he is just smarter than most dogs.
    For instance, Winston always does what he is asked. If he wants to. When I was making his portrait he had a wonderful time sitting and being rewarded with crackers. But when he was done he was done and no amount of coaxing, cajoling or crackers could change his mind. He wasn't ugly about it. As a matter of fact he looked quite cheerful as his rear end disappeared around the corner of the house.
    Winston loves his owner, tennis balls, and paper products. He is constantly on the look out for paper towels and toilet paper. House guests quickly learn to keep bathroom doors shut and paper napkins well away from the edge of the table.
    Winston lives in a home with loving discipline. He tries not to notice.
    He is never fed from the table. So it is hard to understand why it is that if you really want Winston's attention all you have to say is "Cheese!"
