Okay the photographer just left. He was really really nice and patient! And he loved Layla! He came into the house but there was nowhere to take pictures here with good light so we went into the back yard. She was so excited that a new person was here that she wouldn't sit still! And then she was running around so much that she was panting, so I had to give her water which made her face all wet. We couldn't get her to put her tongue back in her mouth! He found one where her mouth was open but her tongue was down... he really wanted a closed-mouth shot but he asked if that one would be good enough for me. We came inside and looked at ALL of the pictures and it was picture after picture of tongue! Anyways, he said "Well let's just try a few more" so we went outside and Layla was waiting for us behind the little baby gate between the house and the fence. He said "Oh maybe this is a good spot!" so he stood on one side and she lost interest and just laid down. I kept saying her name, and she closed her mouth and looked at me for about 10 seconds straight and he took a million shots and he said "I GOT IT! I got one right there!"
Then he told me that if I want a picture to just get in touch with the person who contacted me and they'd be happy to send me one
And now, 5 minutes later, Layla is asleep on the floor beside me. Ah the life of a superstar.
