Wordless Wednesday--Shake it Off

When a dog comes out of the lake or ocean, (or even the bathtub!) what does he do but give a good, hard shake to send that water flying and get himself feeling in shipshape again.

Dress them up for a picture My dogs aren't into wearing Christmas sweaters or fleece pajamas, but they will tolerate a hat or sweater long enough to get a photo. I also like putting them in headbands with reindeer antlers or holiday lights. When Ernest goes out to do therapy dogs, the kids love it when he's wearing a necktie, hat or his blinking Christmas lights necklace. Do you like to dress your pet up in a special coat or hat for the holidays? Petey posed for this photo in his Christmas necktie. 2. Make them a stocking Do you make your dogs a stocking?
