Oh, the indignity our dogs have to endure to lead comfy lives with us humans. Year after year, when holiday time arrives, the poor pups are dressed in jingle bell collars and reindeer antlers, or other festive attire. Hanover sits in her garb motionless, just sure something terrible will happen if she moves. We release her from her anguish and utter embarrassment quickly after a photo is taken.
Fenway, on the other hand, will let us dress him up in anything, just as long as there's a treat involved. This year it was lamb jerky. He was so obsessed with the "bestest" treat ever that he wouldn't look at the camera -- the treat was being offered as a bribe to the left of the camera position. I suggested I put the treat between my lips to get him to look at me but that idea was quickly nixed when he kept jumping at the camera!
All in all the pups and their human family enjoyed the Christmas festivities, particularly since my sister from St. Louis and her husband made a surprise visit to KC to join us for dinner. It doesn't get better than having family together for the holiday season!

Happy New Year to all!
