#FBF

...or flash back Friday to two years ago when I conducted one of my infamous back door photo seshes.  

Presley used to give me the most back lash because he couldn't stand posing for pictures.  I don't blame him.  It's tormenting for all parties involved.  But I've taught them that suffering together helps the greater good of preserving memories.  

He seemed to follow the same pattern of emotions laid out in ten phases without fail - every time.  

Phase 1: The Almighty Attitude


Phase 2: Emotional Distress


Phase 3: Internal Hissy Fit


Phase 4: Deranged Psyche


Phase 5: Patronizing Eyes (to the left)


 Phase 6: Patronizing Eyes (to the right)


Phase 7: Trigger Distractions


Phase 8: The Walk Off


Phase 9: Simulated Smirk


Final phase: Natural Grin


Now that he styles his hair and grown a few adult teeth, he's been more confident and cooperative lately.  He mostly gives me Phase 9 now...but I'll take it.
