<DIV><FONT color=#000080 face="Century Gothic">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. </FONT></DIV>

me...thought I would try something different for the cards this<BR>year and
get all the dogs a special xmas hat.<BR><BR>With it being so nice this past
weekend, I thought I would try outside<BR>by this really pretty pine tree in
the yard.<BR><BR>Out with the boxers, one santa hat, one elf hat and a pocket
of treats.<BR>A few sits and stays, DH is swearing at me and the boxers as
they bounce<BR>around trying to shake the hats off...we got one pic not with
the tree<BR>but with hats on, dogs sitting. OK. Whew. I'm
sweating my patootie<BR>off cause I'm the one doing all the work while DH
stands behind me with<BR>the camera, shouts directions and swears in
frustration. <BR><BR>Next come the bassets.<BR><BR>Schroeder, Sophie and
little Lucifer, whoops I mean Lucy...I get<BR>bassets, santa hat, red bow and
elf hat and more treats. We all go<BR>bouncing into the yard...Yea this
if fun. Woo hoo.<BR><BR>I put santa hat on Schroeder, Lucy grabs and
takes off. I tackle her<BR>and go back. Put bow on Sophie, Lucy
grabs and runs again. Dad slave<BR>swearing like crazy now. I
bring everyone back again. Huffing and<BR>puffing, I put elf hat on
Lucy. It's a stop, drop and roll. While<BR>she's rolling, I hurry
to put santa hat and red bow back on the other<BR>two.<BR><BR>Lucy stops
rolling, the elf hat is off, grabs Sophie's bow and runs like<BR>hell
again. <BR><BR>I say screw trying to take all three at once, let her run
with the bow.<BR>Sophie decides to wonder off. OK - Just focus on taking
Schroeder's<BR>picture. By this time, I'm huffing and puffing, the DH is
ready to kill<BR>me, and I bring out the treats and sit on ground by pine tree
and<BR>Schroeder. He perks up - Ahh, good boy! Wanna a
treat?! Sit<BR>pretty....hurry up DH and snap the pic. Well in
those 3 seconds - the<BR>smell of the beef in the air now bring Sophie &
Lucy back. I'm now<BR>battling three bassets all trying to get their
snooters in my sweats<BR>pockets to get the extra treats I have tucked
away. I say, did you get<BR>his picture? grumble grumble.
UGH. Ok. Next take Sophie by herself.<BR>I'm pushing the other two
out of the way while kneeling on ground. Did<BR>you get a good pic?
YESSSS. Ok. Now Lucy. DH...snap, snap.<BR><BR>He throws
camera at me and says I don't know why the hell you try to do<BR>this, I'm
done, you're on your own and walks away...<BR><BR>I'm left standing with a
muddy santa hat, a mangled red bow, an elf hat<BR>missing an ear, a camera
holding what could be the worst xmas pictures<BR>of all time, and three
bassets now sitting pretty right in front of me<BR>because I still have treats
in my pockets. I look at them and curse as<BR>they bat those pretty
basset eyes at me... This should definitely be a<BR>card to
remember...or not...<BR><BR><BR><BR><BR> <BR>
