Merc fact #58
Mercury spends an inordinate amount of time pondering the world's mysteries.

It used to drive me crazy, I'd ask him to do something and he'd just stare at me. I knew he knew exactly what I was asking for, but he'd just stare. Then I realized that he was considering all angles of the request, the consequences and just exactly how to perform whatever it was to perfection. It about drove me crazy.. ok honestly, it still drives me crazy.

Yes, that would be Karen... and The Red Baron

Merc fact #57
Even when no one is looking he's a good boy.

It's too bad Merc wouldn't look over at the camera, he has his sunglasses on. I need a helper! I pay in whatever motivates ya know. Tag... where were you when I was needing a helper? (trying to edge into the frame is where)

The Pack's answer to the first 52 weeks for dog challenge: incorporate these three elements into your photo (and your dog, of course, is a given)

1. a scarf
2. something red
3. something made of paper

My very first use of the remote control trigger for my camera. Despite Merc behaving even though I wasn't looking, I couldn't get his scarf to stay draped over his back. I probably should have threaded a wire or something stiff through the weave. I'm happy with how this turned out -- not for the composition, just that all the elements were used and that the remote trigger worked well.
