Thank you Lorri!

Won't be a card this year, I just took this yesterday, and my cards have already been sent out lol.

I've never done a xmas card before, but maybe for xmas 2006? :-) #2187090

Great shot, these are not easy to do !!! Looks like a very smart dog. #2188471

Thank you Derek! She is smart... too smart for her own good I think haha!

I was really surprised how well she cooperated, especially for the times I had to adjust the Santa cap or the Nutcrackers.

I placed my coffee table in front of my tree, then draped a green sheet over it. I asked her to hop up, which she relunctantly did. She was scared up there lol, but once I had her in the down position, she relaxed.

I tried to smooth out the sheet as best as I could by the nutcrackers, but if I tried to move her too much she'd freeze and panic, so I left it be. ;-) #2189160

She's such a good puppy! It would make a beautiful, personal christmas card! I love the purple glow in the back ground. #2200771
