I have spent 3 days running after my dogs with a camera in hopes of getting them all to sit still for a holiday picture. No such luck! The best I could do was one at a time and Kona made it clear that she was too old to be embarrassed with antlers again so she got a reprieve. Julian weighs 170 pounds now and spent most of the time playing "keep-away" with the antlers plus he was afraid of the jingle bells on his head. Loki always acts like we beat him whenever we dress him up. They both ran into Julian's crate after the last pictures so I finally left them alone.
Merry Christmas!

Those are so adorable! Jullian looks like a lovable cartoon dog! And we already know that Loki is a character!
Thanks for posting! And thanks for all your help! We'd be lost without you! (or we'd just make up stuff!)

She departed us unexpectedly January 23, 2011 at the age of 12 1/2.
She was born with a deformed front leg and a tripawd all of her life.

Those are the most adorable pictures - yea, judging by the expressions on their faces, looks like they're enjoying being inside the crate more. 
Thanks for all of your help on tripawds. We all so appreciate it!
Happy holidays!

My sweet golden Mackenzie. She became my angel on Dec 29, 2010 at the age of 8 1/2 although she was always my angel from the time we brought her home. She was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in Sept 2009 and officially became a tripawd (front leg) on Nov 5, 2009. She will be forever in my heart and now she's running free with all of our other tripawd heroes. I love you Mackenzie!
