Dachshund portrait

I am amazed at anyone who can get a dachshund to sit long enough for a portrait. We have 2 (one who looks much like this one. Neither would do this.

Nicely shot, Good boy!

Lonnie, I was taking photos at our backyard and came back and noticed that there was quite a nice shine on the sofa and the dog, tried to get a few photos. it wasn't too easy to focus; there were the black dog on the black sofa, my viewfinder was almost black. I managed to shoot 2 photos before he jumped off.

I noticed that if I click the photo from the trending photos, it looks a little bit soft, and when clicking the "click photo" from the left corner, then it looks the way I processed it, I guess there is some kind of resizing thing, the site doing some kind of online resizing for the black box which opens when clicking the photos from the critique or trending photos?
