And Then There Were Three...

This story is becoming like a soap opera! 

In the beginning there were two West Highland Terriers - Angus and Hamish - who I was called upon just before Christmas 2008 to photograph for their owner. Shortly after Christmas, Angus departed to be replaced by Hector who was subsequently photographed in early February.

Since then, Hector's brother Herbie has arrived. Just as wonderful (and mischievous) as Hector, and in late March I was back again to photograph the terrier-trio.

Pictured (L-R) are Herbie, Hamish and Hector and the single image shows Herbie looking a bit unsure as to whether he should be on the leather sofa or not.

Hector & Hamish

Regular readers of this blog (assuming there are some) will probably remember that just before Christmas I took some portraits of a couple of ageing West Highland terriers - Angus and Hamish. Unfortunately since then (but hopefully not related to my visit) Angus, sadly, had to be put to sleep.

Shortly into the new year however, there was a new arrival - Hector - a gorgeous little Westie pup who took no time in making himself at home apparently. 

So following a call from their owner, another visit ensued and we spent a good hour or so attempting to get both dogs to a) sit together, b) sit still and c) look at the camera (preferably at the same time) In fairness, Hector was fabulous given his age and seemed to enjoy being the centre of attention whilst Hamish just looked on laconically (if, indeed a dog can be laconic) with an air of quiet resignation.

I've not previously been overtly fond of small dogs, but I must admit that I could have happily smuggled Hector out in my camera bag - he was just wonderful.
