I get asked a lot how I get Toby to behave during these pictures. He tolerates it, to be honest. In this first one, he was asleep... and too lazy to fight. Then again, I think he might be getting a kidney/urinary infection, so he's been pretty sleepy lately. But on top of waiting until he isn't wound up, he also gets compensated with Beggin Strips which are basically his crack. Those pictures you've seen in the past where he looks insanely excited? I'm holding up the bag of treats above the camera. The ones where his eyes are not on me? He's staring at the treat bag on the bar area. We have a system... and I time it well. And those are the secrets behind the beagle pictures...

I'm also combining my June wrap up with this post... keeps things less cluttered. I didn't get as much done my WIPs as I would have liked but I've set a deadline of 7/11 to have WIP2 draft done. We'll see if I hit it... But, my goal for reading is bumping up to 20/month- which means I need to pick it up since I only read 16 this month. That's down one from my usual 17 which I, personally, find distressing. Overall, though, June was another great month- I got to read some awesome titles. Many of the reviews are to come, however.
