Our Santa Paws experience today quite the site. Lets just say we will be doing individuals from now on LOL. The day started off fun. We got there. Snickers decided she literally had to be the 1st one out of the car. Thank goodness I left the leash on her. Up and over me and out the door she went. Of course it has been raining non stop and by rain I mean pouring rain since last night about 6 pm. (Even thunderstorms in the middle of December in Iowa if you have heard of it crazy). But back to the story at hand. We get them in. Get them into the waiting room to see Santa the girls are going crazy. I can't even sign in to let them know who we are and what clowns I have with me LOL. We get in to see Santa. NO one will sit not even Bosch. Poor Santa is about to pull his hair out so we had to get an elf in there to help out.
They acted so crazy they made Frankie & Merry Myrtle look like Angels. Thank goodness no video unless someone secretly did it lol. I had a few pictures that turned out but I can't wait to see what our client service manager's Marys turn out like but without further hesitation here are Bosch, Snickers, Jazz & Santa Paws
Thinking about mad dash out the door (first got there)

These are great! Bless your heart having three BIG dogs that are crazy!!!! I can barely handle Jasper sometimes and I can just snatch her up in my arms to get her to behave! LOL
But these are great. I love their BIG smiles .... such happy dogs!!!
Stay dry AND safe.... I've heard about your whacky weather!

Our story: Broke rear leg in June 2013 - non-conclusive results for cancer so leg was plated and pinned. Enlarged spleen in September 2013 and had it removed and was diagnosed with Hemangiosarcoma and started chemotherapy. Became a Tripawd January 8th, 2014 and definitive Hemangiosarcoma diagnosis. Three major surgeries in 7 months and Shelby took them all like a champ only to lose her battle to cancer in her brain. We had 8 amazing extra months together and no regrets. #shelbystrong #loveofmylife
MICHELLE! These really are good poctures! Really! I can only imagine what it took to get all THREE....THREEEE....OMD....to pose and sit all at once!
I lpve their hats AND antlers! Just keeping those on their heads long enough to pose...on the heads of sll THREE AT ONCE...masterful!!
I do like the expression on the Elf's face. I think she's trying to act like a "professional Elf" but she can't help but laugh as Santa is trying to hold it all together!
A d to think that Santa is actually their vet...and this is st the clunkc...and yet Snickers still couldn't wait to get out of the car and go in! Now that's special!!
Can't wait to see the ones the clinic took. And oh how I wish someone had a video!
Thanks for the smiles today girls...and Bosch!
Love to all!

Those 3 angelic sitting beautifully for the camera dogs gave you a hard time? Michelle I find that hard to believe! Great pics and the story behind the pics make me smile. You are a brave woman for taking all three at once but well worth the finished product.

Boy I am impressed you took 3 dogs to Santa Paws. I took Hank and Blink and it was not fun. First I took Blink in and when we were waiting in line 3 pit bulls came in and she freaked and started barking and acting crazy. So I hussled over to Santa and tried to get her to sit with him and she wouldn't so I sat with him and held her. I didn't plan on having my picture taken and you could tell. Then I went and got Hank and he was totally distracted and also wouldn't sit with Santa. So again I had my picture taken and I looked awful so I won't be sharing those pictures but several days later I had some pictures taken at home that are not too bad but of course I was able to take several pictures.I think I will have to skip the whole Santa Paws thing.

Penny! Can't believe yoj are MAKING UP stories about Blink and Hank being "naughty"! Lokk at those two in this picture losing PERFECTLY! Two well behaved pups!! And very, very good looking pups with a pretty human by their side!!
Sooo...what rhis means is...we HAVE to see the pics of them with Santa Claus to prove your story that they were "misbehaving"! Besides, it gives us another opportunity to see Blink and Hank! PLEASE!!! Besides, Merry Myrtle loves pictures of Hank and Frankie gets a little twinkle in his eye when he sees Blink!
Much love always Penny!

PS....See the "light" behind you and around the "horse"? Yep, looks like Maggie's eternal light showing up in the picture! Yep, pretty sure it is!

I told you it was chaos. You didn't believe me it was worse than these pictures show. I was telling him to sit. I was trying to tell the girls to sit but you see where that got me LOL. No where fast. Back to individual Santa Paws pictures next year. I will take standing in line all day over this mess lol. Although they did turn out great. I just wish I would have gotten to do this with Sassy (one of those regret things).
xoxoxo
