It’s no secret that my mom takes TONS of photos of me. Like for every one you see on my blog there are probably 20 that don’t make the cut.

Now even though I know I’m like the holy grail of cuteness when it comes to dogs, that’s a lot of photos if you think about it – and it also pretty much means that I have a camera in my face 24/7.

Now don’t get me wrong, I love having my photo taken, but sometimes I’m not always in the photogenic mood.

No, sometimes I’m just plain tired and try as I might I just can’t muster the energy to put on a show for the camera.

But just as soon as I decide I’d much rather take a nap during today’s photoshoot I’m reminded of all of you.

Yes, I’m reminded of those of you reading my blog in secret at work, or sneaking a peek on your phone during class, or waiting to catch a glimpse of my adorable mug on my Facebook page. And I am ashamed. Ashamed for showing you a photo of my behind – while still very adorable – it just doesn’t cut it.

So I gathered my strength, and gave it all the effort my tiny little hot dog body had to make your day a little brighter.

It’s my half smile. You’re welcome.
