All I Wanted Was A Picture!

I was wanting to make a picture Christmas card this year and put pics of me and my dogs and me and my horses on it, but that's not going to happen.
I may just have to stick to me and the horses and or just send our regular ones.

Did you know getting dogs to pose for pictures is as hard as it is to get kids to pose for pictures?
Well it is, maybe even more difficult.
I tried to have Connie take a picture of me and the dogs in front of the tree in their cute little reindeer ears.
Yeah, that so did not happen.

As soon as Taylor saw me with the antlers in my hands, she took off running. She really hates it when I dress her up in anything.
Buck though could care less. He lets me do anything I want to him.


I sat him in front of the tree and put the antlers on his head and went to go get Taylor.
I had to pull her by her neck to the tree and wouldn't you know, she escaped!
So I went to go wrangle her up and this time I had to carry her to the tree. As soon as I put her down she went to run but I wrapped my arms around her and wrestled her to the ground.

All the while, Connie is laughing her ass off, not helping. Buck thought Taylor was playing a game and was chasing her around every time she ran.

I finally got her to the tree, put her antlers on and of course she lays down and rolls over so we can't take her picture.

I decided to give up and just have her stay laying down, Buck sat next to me looking around like a big goober and I was sweating and huffing and puffing from chasing and wrestling a 50 pound dog.
Yeah, those pictures turned out shitty!

But it was funny so here's my attempt at a Christmas picture.



Here I am calling to her

Had just put her down after carrying her to the tree

Trying to escape...thinking Connie might help her

Sitting behind Connie, trying to hide

Wrestling with her trying to get her to sit

Look at that mad face

See my death grip on her!

Buck looking like a goober and Taylor pleading with me to let her go!

This is the only halfway decent picture

That last one didn't turn out too bad. Now we need to wrangle two horses....

This reminded me of a picture of my dog taken at Xmas over 20 years ago. I put it on my blog once but the ex in the picture may be reading me now and I don't want him to think I like him. Or even remember him.

But my doggie was small so much easier. These pictures are funny because they're blurry.

I love how Buck was just sitting in the same pose the whole time. LOL. I think you should just make a picture collage of all your attempts and call it good! It would be cute!

OMG - that's awesome! I was cracking up imagining you parking one dog with antlers on his ears and him waiting patiently by the tree while you go and try to grab the other one. I love this!
