Merry Christmas Day from Lucy and Bailey

Merry Christmas

“Hey, Boss. Why do we have to pose here like this?”

“It is Christmas, Lucy. We need to send a greeting to our blog friends.”

“Okay, but hurry. My neck is getting sore.”

“You are supposed to look at me.”

“Won’t happen, Boss.  You know I’m a dog, right?”

“Say, ‘Merry Christmas,’ you two.”

“Merry Christmas you two.”

“Thanks, guys.”

“Where’s our treat?”

    Merry Christmas to you all. Four dogs here for Christmas- our daughter and her husband have brought their Shitsu and their American Staffy (and Trevor, at 12, is a bit of a curmudgeon!)

    It is best to put a box of treats in line with the camera. 🙂

    Tee-hee… I guess their treats were not in any of those packages — else there would be wrapping paper strewn across the room. Delightful post John. Merry Christmas hugs.

    John, I think it’s time you put Lucy and Bailey on a salary as they seem to be doing most of the work. Or at least a pension for their retirement. Merry Christmas! Exquisite tree!

    At least they’ll pose for a treat. Diva Dog never shows interest. Not even for a treat. They’re adorable. I notice Stella was a no show. Cats. Wha-da-ya gonna do?
