Actors are Like Cattle Dogs

I tried to make cute dog videos today, but the one thing I needed to do so--i.e. cooperation on the part of said canine-Americans--was severely lacking. If you were to take the blooper reel (if one existed) of the session and transcribe it, it would look like this:

JENNI: 
Willie, sit!
(WILLIE sits)

JENNI:
Stay! Good girl. Now, Wi--
(WILLIE slowly rises, scoots away)

JENNI: 
DAMNIT, STAY! No! Sit! 

WILLIE:
*whine*
(WILLIE sits)

JENNI:
Good girl, Willie! Who's a goo--Maddow, no!
(MADDOW enters frame)

JENNI:
Maddow, no! You're not in this scene! Back to your trailer!

MADDOW:
WOOF!
(MADDOW wags enthusiastically, licks camera)

Clearly, they need acting lessons. BTW, the pic is supposed to be a director. It just looks like a guy with an ass-gland problem to me, but oh, well.
