A brief reprieve during a surprisingly cold winter

One day last week, the weather decided to remember that we lived in Texas and warmed up for about a day. I took the opportunity to attempt a picture of my girls (by myself) (with no one else to help hold them) (or distract them into pricking their ears forward). This was about as good as it got:

Even Sienna is bored

Sienna is usually my super photogenic one, always pricking her ears and appearing bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. However, all she wanted to do was take advantage of me crouching in front of her, not holding the leadropes, and try to graze. A lot of yelling ensued. The timid Rosa surprisingly took it all in stride, although she didn't want to get any closer than necessary to the older girls. This may perhaps be because Sienna dove at her earlier with her teeth bared, thus necessitating a switching of her and Chica.

Perhaps one day, when it isn't rainy and/or cold, I'll be able to get a better group shot. For now, we can all look at this one and appreciate my valiant, if not foolish, solo attempt.
