Does Mushu Like His Picture Taken?

I've been asked a few times now, with all the pictures I take of Mushu, does he like to have his picture taken or does he just tolerate it.  One word will answer this question quite nicely.  No and no.  No he doesn't like his picture taken and no he won't tolerate it.  Unless the bribe of a treat is used.  Or I catch him sleeping.

As you can see from the video he's a bit of a pain when it comes to me trying to 'capture' him with my camera.  This was the Flip I had in my hand, just imagine a digital camera where you're trying to focus on you're subject who is avoiding you at all costs.

Yes he is hiding under my chair in the beginning of the video.  Yes that is 'stuff' all over the floor because I'm cleaning my office right now.  Gotta problem with that??  Mushu's tail wagging?  Means I'm sooooo having fun messing with you and your camera.  The paw up?  Means I will sit still for a treat.  I will sit all day long for a treat.  Me flicking the camera a bit in the video?  Means if he thinks I'm taking the camera away....he'll look up or sit still.  When I bring the camera back down?  He looks away or walks off.

He reminds me of some Westies that I know, they are great little dogs too.

Mushu is so adorable! Love his little wagging tail. My dogs are usually the same way about having a picture (or video) taken. They behave much better if I bribe them with a treat. :-)

Honestly...it is so funny...I feel like I'm watching Chloe on video! They are so much alike, it's scary!! She HATES the camera....at first I thought maybe it was the flash...but now, I think she just despises the whole picture taking thing! He IS adorable ya know? He deserves a treat. Really. He does!

He's such a cutie patootie. Love the little tail wag. Although, I WAS waiting for your high pitched voice. :(

poor Mushu! Oh, the torture of the flip!

Now why did I think that Mushu loved to have his pic taken?
I got a Flip, but I move the darn thing too fast no matter how hard I try.
Hopefully I'll get it right soon.
Give Mushu man a hug from,
Frances

He sounds a bit bossy? And, like he knows how to get what he wants? I'm loving your Flip. I've asked for one for my anniversary.

George hates having his photo taken too and always looks away or tries to hide. Funny how they can be that way.

Oh, I'm in love! He's just too darn adorable. I know that since he's a guy he might not want to be adorable. But, deal with it--you're ADORABLE!!!!!

there once was a doggie named Mushu
whose owner said, "I'll introduce you!"
so she focused her lens
to say "howdy do, friends"
and the mutt turned away right on cue!
