Merry Christmas and a Happy healthy New Year to you, Cinder, Smoke, Bowser and Phred!! ..... and to everyone else!

That photo sure makes you grin - it's priceless!!

I can almost hear a very firm *stay* as I gaze upon your faces.

I still wonder how you got Boots to stay there!

So how DID he get that photo??

Hey - it only took 56 "shots" to get it!

We started out just "practicing" with the Three Mutts ...
After the 3rd Dawg Toss to get em all up and settled ... I got a couple "shots"
that didn't have a HAND or a half-seated dog or a fallen hat ...

Tyme to Add da KAT!

"FINDING" da Kat took a minute of two ... he was "dug in" under the BigBed.
Return, Kat under arm, to the Studio ........
WHERE's the DAWGS!??

More Dawg Tossin ... ready for da Kat ... start pulling him in on the string leash ...
And *POP* goes the break-away collar!

Retrieve Kat from fallin water closet ... Dawgs long gone ... Half SIT on Kat ...
Toss dawgs back on couch ... Smokey detects "STRESS" and turns around
to face backwards ...

He finally "gets the hint" and faces front.
"Leave the darn hat ON!"

"FREEZE if you know what's good for you!"

"Slip" da Kat into his spot ... he and Cinder alternate who's got their chin
closer to the floor ...

I discovered my left arm wasn't long enough to "tweak" heads and get out
of the picture before the next head turned.
Gave up on FOUR Hats ... Kat was NOT in the mood for a Hat!

All in all, the Christmas Photo Shoot went pretty well ...
*considering* ...

Hope EVERYbody had a Joyful Christmas Day!!

Well that does sound like quite a work out trying to get them all together like that Phred. I bet you were tired afterwards

I thought trying to get my three together was a job, but it sounds like yours was much worse!

Hope you all had a Very Merry Christmas!!!

I kind of figured that a lot of effort went into the photo shoot. We do appreciate the part eberbuddie played in bringing us this wonderful shot of the gang at the ranch.
