Camera-shy!

What is it about dogs with cameras. Some love it when you point the camera at them as if they know they want to show you their best look.
Others dip their head as if you're scolding them. 
KJ took a couple pictures of Lady the other night out on the deck and that's exactly what she does. She really is one of the friendliest dogs I've fostered. You just can't tell by her pictures!

Some notes I compiled last night:
Wants to be with people. Will steal food if you're not looking. She's thin. Boney actually. Was hoping to fatten her up a bit but I don't think she's gained any weight. She's petite, 56 pounds, but not a diva. Tomboy. Plays pretty rough. But once she's spayed will probably gain some weight.
Has a high prey drive. Chases my cats if they run, but doesn't hurt them. I think she'd go after my rabbits though. She tries to take off after squirrels and we have these ground hogs or wood chucks in the park across the street. Maybe they're big gophers or baby wood chucks. Wild rodents that tunnel through the park. But man, she hears them chirp and if loose would be gone.
She's good on a leash except when she sees something she wants to chase. A little training and she ll be fine. She's smart. She flows when she moves. Pretty head and holds it up like a show dog. She responds well with a quick tug of the leash.
Her coat is better but still dry. I've brushed her a lot and it looks better each time. It's been trimmed in places which will grow out.
Has good recall when in the house. Can bark a lot and whines when I leave, but settles down.
Not bothered by storms.
