Jakey here today to tell you about our Family Christmas Card Photo Shoot...it all started with snuggles on the back porch!

As you can see...it is difficult for me to get everyone to focus on the camera

In fact, it is nearly impossible!

...and some days I kinda wish I was an only dog...

I tried to keep everyone on task...but it was impossible!

Finally, I just relaxed, enjoyed the sights and was thankful we had all the family together!

Sometimes, it's just better to keep the pawrents out of your pictures!
oh that is so super beautiful!!! we love your christmas photos!!!... and was there really a bird?
ReplyDeleteWe love ALL of the photos but the last one is perfect!
ReplyDeleteHari Om
ReplyDeleteJakey, every one is a precious memory if nothing else!!! hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx
It sure does look like a lot of chaos. We find it hard getting just one human to cooperate!
ReplyDeleteinstead of jingling all the way through , I laughed all the way through your 'family foto shoot". hysterical and I love every one of these. the last one of course is Pawfect
ReplyDeletetell mama, at least your daddy tries to be in the photo, I have a camera shy hubby that will not pose at ALL.
ReplyDeleteThat was some fun family time though! Your parents are obviously very distracting, but good try, Arty! Love the photo of the three of you!
ReplyDeleteJan & the crew at Wag 'n Woof Pets
Love this, it made me smile real big. Jakey, you did a great job trying to get everyone to cooperate, and as you learned, sometimes you just gotta go with the flow.
ReplyDeleteThat was fun and we love the end picture. 🎄☃️
ReplyDeleteOMD, you guys look amazing! And I LOVES your momma's bandana. I think that one suits me much more than the one Momma put me in.
ReplyDeleteFinding Jakey in your pictures was kind of like a "Where's Waldo" moment. He was popping up all over the place and we had to look hard to find him each time. It sure looks like you all had a fun time with those pictures.
ReplyDeleteI'm laughing like a 5 year old girl. This is adorable...
ReplyDeleteOMDs Arty, Jakey and Rosy...you will have to request a tone of coal and
a bundle of sticks for Momma and Daddy's stockings...they were so naughty.
Hugs Cecilia
