I was out with Ray this morning at around 7:45am for his “usual routine”, and thought that perhaps he would stand still long enough for me to get a good picture of him. It clearly was not going to happen so I did the best I could, but was then thwarted by the camera deciding a flash was necessary… which slowed down the whole process. The results were a series of pics where Ray was only partially in the frame when the flash went off and, in some cases, a blur of activity (literally!). I could fiddle with the flash settings, but what to do with Ray? I had my left hand in my coat pocket and felt two treats!
“Ray! Treat buddy” and over he came to see if I was serious at that time of the morning. I gave him one treat, and then asked him to wait. He turned and wandered off!
“Ray! Treat buddy!” Back he came with his expectant look. With my camera at the ready – “Just wait buddy. Just wait!” and the pic was taken.
Ray’s expression says it all “Where’s my treat… and what about breakfast?”
I just love Ray. He has such personality in his face, and this pic proves it. Who needs a syllable-pronouncing-voice when you have a vocabulary of “looks” like these. Happy Valentine’s Day, y’all.

Considering his severe vocal limitations, he still communicates better than some people I have met over the years! If he really wants something, he will work out some way of letting us know! 🙂

Hopefully he didn’t have to wait too long until breakfast (though he seems to be looking at you as if you’re a large plate of bacon).😁

His routine is that he does what he has to do, and then waits for me to race him back to the house. This morning, I messed him up by asking him to wait while I took some pics! 🙂
