T'is the Season

Christmas is fast approaching and, if you follow this blog, you know what that means:

THE (SOMEWHAT) ANNUAL CRITTER CHRISTMAS PHOTO SHOOT!

I grabbed my antlers and cell phone and headed out to con/ bribe entice my beloved animals into cooperating for the camera.

Irish was, as always resigned.


Irish: is it that time again? Did you bring treats? I don't perform for free you know. 


Irish: What do you mean I'm too close? I have to get the cookies before Princess Greedy Guts take them all. 


Irish: This is the best you're going to get. 
Me: I'll take it! 

Carmen: I heard that there were cookies. 




Carmen: Back up? Why would I do that? The cookies are here. 


Carmen: Okay, I'll trust you but make it fast. Also, don't give any to the dog behind me. 


Guinness:  What? No. It's beneath my dignity as head of security. 


Guinness: Mom, this is so dumb. I'll be laughed out of the Farm Dogs Guild. 


Guinness:  I'm only doing it because I love you. But promise me it won't be on the internet. 


Ripley: I'm a guest. I'm pretty sure that makes me exempt. 


Ripley:  This is not my idea of fun. I can't even look at you right now. I'm telling Dad. 


Ripley: Well I guess I look pretty good. 


Willow:  this is new. I think it' brings out my eyes. 

Willow: Make it quick. My patience is fading fast. 


I know it's silly. But when I look back on the previous cards I smile at the fond memories of my beloved animals. Many of whom are not here anymore. At least not physically anyway.


Merry Christmas from all of us at Oakfield Farm. I hope you have the holiday you want.

  3. I just love everything about this! Great photos! And I agree, I love looking back on them from year to year. This year was so very different for me without my two best boys. But I kept them on the card for one last year.
