Really. He has so much energy, a super fun personality, neato parents and the classic Boston Terrier tuxedo attire. You may remember him? I did photos of him last August and shared them <a href=\"http:\/\/www.chocolatemooseimages.com\/blog\/2011\/08\/a-peek-at-astro\/\">here<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.chocolatemooseimages.com\/blog\/2011\/10\/more-astro-minneapolis-pet-photographer\/\">here<\/a>. This family made it incredibly clear that they dearly love their Astro when they placed an incredibly close <a href=\"http:\/\/www.chocolatemooseimages.com\/blog\/2012\/02\/and-the-winner-is-minneapolis-pet-photography\/\">second<\/a> in my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.chocolatemooseimages.com\/blog\/2012\/01\/the-cmicbmfp-contest-minneapolis-pet-photographer\/\">CMICBMFP<\/a> contest from earlier this year. {If you have no idea what I\u2019m talking about maybe take a few minutes to check out those links which shows the unending cuteness I was fortunate enough to photograph last year.} Anyways, since the Goldstein\u2019s put so much effort into the contest I couldn\u2019t help but award them with the first place prize as well. Hooray! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>Since most of his very warm and sunny shoot last Summer involved ball throwing, sun bathing and tongue flailing we thought we\u2019d do something a bit calmer this time round. At first Astro wasn\u2019t so sure about being calm around his new friend. He just wanted to play and work for treats! <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.chocolatemooseimages.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/astro_chocolatemooseimages-5468.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"background-image: none;
