Kita's first portrait

Today I finally took a bit of time to take more than just some quick snapshots of Kita. Ritina has been after me to get some pictures of Kita among the flowers near our front porch, so that seemed like a good place for a portrait style picture.

As I suspect is the case with most Shiba puppies, sitting still for a portrait doesn't rank real high on Kita's list of things she's interested in doing. So, after taking her for a long walk to expend some of her boundless energy, bribing her with cookies hidden in the plants, and getting help from Ritina to return her to the flower bed over and over and over and---you get the idea---I managed a few decent captures. This is one of my favorites.
