Pictures with Santa Paws

Abbie, Smartie, Santa, Tom & Jerry

Today Paul, my dad and I ventured out in the elements for our annual holiday photo with Santa Paws. We realized this year was very different from years past- we now have double the dogs we had before. It had been Ranger and Smartie and then last year it was Smartie and Tom but this year it is Abbie and Jerry's first Christmas so now there are four!. What a time we had trying to get them all to fit in the photo. Everyone was so good and sat and behaved. Abbie was a little antsy and Tom is very camera shy but we got a lot of great shots. Unfortunately when they tried to print them out everyone was cut off so we had to take them again. Then the fun began. Tom and Jerry were watching the out of control dogs dragging their owners around the aisles and refused to look at the camera. Santa accidentally unleashed Abbie and she was loose for a few moments and didn't waste a second trying to escape to her Daddy who was holding the cookies. Samrtie started barking and only wanted to look at my dad so he had to practically stand on top of the woman taking the picture. It was comical but I have to say that while I waited for my photos to print I watched several other people and their pets get photos and many of the animals were out of control and didn't even know how to sit. The workers were very impressed with our pets and said that we had the most pets in one picture and we were one of the best behaved. They didn't think we could pull it off but here are the pics to prove it. Happy Holidays!

I liked this one because no one was looking anywhere near what they were supposed to be looking at and Santa's eyes are closed!
