Something the mange girls have taught me is...




...it is impossible to photograph three rambunctious, unruly, untrained bullies at once. I consider myself a reasonably decent photographer, but getting a shot of the girls that's passable, never mind good, eludes me. Taking pics by yourself is useless, as you're instantly bowled over by the three of them, who are all frantic to be the one that gets closest to you, and gets in the most licks. Unfailingly, you end up covered in scratches, clobbered, knocked down, slimed with big Pit Bull tongue, and with nose prints on your lense.
Having an assistant is no better - you just get photos of them undergoing the same treatment! The problem is the girls, developmentally, are puppies. They act just like a litter of 8-10 week old pups, with the same level of enthusiasm and oblivion to where their feet and bodies are. However, unlike 8-10 week old puppies, they weigh between 45 and 60 lbs - oof!
Anyhow, here are a handful of the photos I took at SAINTS on Monday. The girls are having fun and on the mend, which is what matters. They're going into individual foster this coming weekend, so we should be able to get some better pictures then.
