We have a Jack Russell or Parson's Terrier and he is highly energetic. He loves his tennis balls and will pick the most inopportune times to want to play. For instance at 11:00 o'clock at night right before we are getting ready to go to bed, we will hear the ball drop at the foot of the bed. This breed of dog is also tenacious and when it gets a whiff of another animal he will track it until he finds it. Using this instinct I decided to complicate his life by setting up a concept shot. It was a concept of being overwhelmed by choices and not being able to make up your mind. So I put a large group of tennis balls into a plastic container and put little dog treats under the tennis balls so his nose would pick up the scent and he would start digging. And sure enough his head was in the plastic bin before I could get the first frame off. It was a fun shoot and I think Jupiter enjoyed it too for the special treats he had.
