[Dailydrool] @ Annette ~~ I feel your pain! LOL

[Joey Williams]

One year, I DID decide to go with the  not-perfect photos.   I got a 6 picture card (I have 6 dogs) at Snapfish and used those crazy photos.   That card was a big hit with my mailing list people.   Now, I just take casual photos throughout the year and use those.  No hassle, no cussin', no setting my hair on fire.

  Stupid me...thought I would try something different for the cards this
  year and get all the dogs a special xmas hat.

  With it being so nice this past weekend, I thought I would try outside
  by this really pretty pine tree in the yard.

  Out with the boxers, one santa hat, one elf hat and a pocket of treats.
  A few sits and stays, DH is swearing at me and the boxers as they bounce
  around trying to shake the hats off...we got one pic not with the tree
  but with hats on, dogs sitting.  OK.  Whew.  I'm sweating my patootie
  off cause I'm the one doing all the work while DH stands behind me with
  the camera, shouts directions and swears in frustration.  

  Next come the bassets.

  Schroeder, Sophie and little Lucifer, whoops I mean Lucy...I get
  bassets, santa hat, red bow and elf hat and more treats.  We all go
  bouncing into the yard...Yea this if fun.  Woo hoo.

  I put santa hat on Schroeder, Lucy grabs and takes off.  I tackle her
  and go back.  Put bow on Sophie, Lucy grabs and runs again.  Dad slave
  swearing like crazy now.  I bring everyone back again.  Huffing and
  puffing, I put elf hat on Lucy.  It's a stop, drop and roll.  While
  she's rolling, I hurry to put santa hat and red bow back on the other
  two.

  Lucy stops rolling, the elf hat is off, grabs Sophie's bow and runs like
  hell again.  

  I say screw trying to take all three at once, let her run with the bow.
  Sophie decides to wonder off.  OK - Just focus on taking Schroeder's
  picture.  By this time, I'm huffing and puffing, the DH is ready to kill
  me, and I bring out the treats and sit on ground by pine tree and
  Schroeder.  He perks up - Ahh, good boy!  Wanna a treat?!  Sit
  pretty....hurry up DH and snap the pic.  Well in those 3 seconds - the
  smell of the beef in the air now bring Sophie & Lucy back.  I'm now
  battling three bassets all trying to get their snooters in my sweats
  pockets to get the extra treats I have tucked away.  I say, did you get
  his picture? grumble grumble.  UGH.  Ok.  Next take Sophie by herself.
  I'm pushing the other two out of the way while kneeling on ground. Did
  you get a good pic?  YESSSS.  Ok.  Now Lucy.  DH...snap, snap.

  He throws camera at me and says I don't know why the hell you try to do
  this, I'm done, you're on your own and walks away...

  I'm left standing with a muddy santa hat, a mangled red bow, an elf hat
  missing an ear, a camera holding what could be the worst xmas pictures
  of all time, and three bassets now sitting pretty right in front of me
  because I still have treats in my pockets.  I look at them and curse as
  they bat those pretty basset eyes at me...  This should definitely be a
  card to remember...or not...
