Hana the Dog: December 2007

Wordless Wednesday....

Cookie Eating and Grooming Mr. Reindeer

I have a friend named Roxie and she is an eskie with very long legs. We think she looks like a model. She lives in San Diego and her nick name is Roxilla. I don't know why her nickname is Roxilla because whenever I see pictures of her, she seems so well behaved and nice. Plus, I know she is nice because she sent me this Christmas gift! Woo hoo!!! Thank you Roxie! You're the bestest!!!

Hmmmm, who is this staring back at me?

Do I smell cookies? Gingerbread cookies! They smelleded so good, my Mom wanted to eat them! Mom!!!! Roxie sent them to ME, not you! Gimme!

Is December the National Posing Month? May I have a cookie now?

Cookie!!! NOW!!!! Please?

Let me see how much of a cookie I can eat through the mesh? Not much, but I can taste them!

See, they're for ME, not my mom.

I'm not going to wait to give these cookies to Santa Paws for Christmas. Sorry Santa. Well, not really sorry...

My Mom thought she got an awesome video of me playing with Mr. Reindeer and shaking him between my teethies, but somehow that video wasn't on the camera. :-( So much for her video skills. But, she did get these videos!

(by the way, the doo dad on my left cheek is not a tick. It's the
remnants of the cookie that stuck to my left cheek)

I'll Show You Mine If You Show Me Yours

Like last year, we are participating in the Eskie Board Holiday Card Exchange. There are 42 of us participating from the USA and Canada. Above is what my card looked like. Do you like it? I don't watch TV much, so I am not sure if I picked the correct card to display my photo on. Was Blues Clues a good choice? I hope I didn't pick a weird character for my card. You would tell me if Blues Clues is a weird character, right?

While I am sharing my holiday card, I thought I would also show you our photo bloopers. I would love to see your bloopers too!

This was Day One of modeling. My Mom was testing out our theme of incorporating the cards from last year. Nope, we didn't like this pose at all.

So, let's try... sitting ON the table? Huh? My Mom is weird, isn't she? I don't see her sitting on the table, so why should I? Oh well, I just humored her.

I thought it was about time for a break. That break extended until the next day.

Day Two we brought the photo session indoors. You can't tell in this photo, but, shhhhh... I'll let you in on a secret. I was DROOLING during this photo shoot. Yes, very unlady like. So, why am I telling you this? Because I want to tell you that MY MOM WAS BEING A PAIN IN THE YOU-KNOW-WHAT!! She had a bunch of treats in her hand but she wasn't giving me any!!! What else was I to do but drool all over last year's cards?

I know you don't believe me that I drooled. Here is proof!

Here I am, still not a happy camper. When will this be OVER???

So, after we took a break, we moved the photo session to the play room. I gave her a piece of my mind about the photo session. How come my Mom can't take a decent photo? How many tries does it take, I ask you? (81+ is the correct answer)

Then, I made faces at the camera.

And soon I just lost all focus.

Can we stop this photo session? I'm tired.... it's time for a dognap!

Even though she tried to move me to another area to wake up, it didn't work.

Mom! Enough is enough!!!

OK, so those are our bloopers! Will you show me yours?

A Slow Sniffy Walk

Greetings Dog and Hamsterrier Friends! Ahhhh.... don't you all just love slow sniffy walks? The only kind of walk that is even better is when it is a LONG slow sniffy walk!
