I've never been one for Christmas. Ok, fine. I hate Christmas. So much hassle ... so much harassment ... the songs ... the commercials ... NO!!! I'd prefer to find a bunker or a foreign country to go to from October to January. Hate. Sorry, Christmas fans. You can love it. But Scrooge here can't.

One thing I do love, though, is showing off my dogs, and what better way to do that than with a cutesy holiday card? I really can't remember why I had this bright idea one day, but ever since I got Napoleon, I've sent cards out. Yes, you can call me a hypocrite if you want.

Here was 2004's. The Great Dane is Brooklyn and she belonged to my roommate and BFF Amy. Napoleon loved her from the minute he saw her - if you can't tell. RIP Brooklyn - you were the best.



Next year I used a picture Amy took of Napoleon in the Texas bluebonnets - a photo tradition down here! This picture has become legend. Even my vet still mentions getting this particular card.



By 2006 we had Thor, so I guess this called for bandannas and a few more pictures.



The next year, we had added Fred, and I'd gotten a DSLR camera, so I had a little fun with a posed pic and outfits from the dollar bin at Target.



That picture actually ended up in a book!

Last year I thought, fake snow? Great idea!



This year, I didn't plan to do a card. I didn't have any ideas and plus it can get costly. But then, inspiration struck, so yes, there is a 2009 card from Fat Frank's Home for Wayward Wieners. You'll have to wait for my next post to see it!
