We are going to a Canine Christmas Festival this Saturday. Price of admission is a toy, treat, or food for either dogs or cats to be donated to the local animal shelter.
That is the greatest idea! Great picture of your pup. What do you do at a Canine Christmas Festival??? What a great way to get a ticket but to specifically encourage the public to buy toys, treats, and food.
I have not been to this festival before. First Christmas in our new town.
There is going to be a doggie fashion show, a doggie talent show, pics with Santa and there will be some vendors there as well. Here is a link Canine Christmas

Sounds like a lot of fun.
Sounds like just another excuse for us owners to parade our pups around and coo over each other's dogs. We are pathetic aren't we? I love it. LOL
I wish my puppy can see Santa.... MY girls saw Santa at Wally World.... Sound you gonna have fun.... I wish we had something like that.....Oh well I am just dreaming for a White Christmas.
kareybear, do you have any big pet supply stores in your area? PetCo, PetsMart, Pet Goods and a slew of other stores are having Santa w/ pets. Even our mall has it (one nite) and a smaller mall has it too (Sat. or Sun. AM, have to check their schedule). Our vet's office has Santa come too. THey charge a nominal fee for the picture and some will even let you take a picture (w/ your camera) as well as long as you do it fast and dont hold up the line. Have seen llamas, cats, etc, all gussied up in their holiday finery. Would call around, the next town over may have Santa, check it out :-)
I agree, it's an adorable picture.
Would try bribery, it works (seriously!), have them 'stay' and have someone hold a treat (small piece of chicken, steak or cheese) up high while you quickly take the picture, you might want to have a squeak toy nearby to use to get their attention if they get distracted easily. I bet they'd be happy to wear whatever. If it goes better than you think it would have, you might want to take them to see Santa.
PS Sometimes taking them for a short walk before helps tire them out.
I took my two to see santa last year. it was our christmas card. Jazzy (the b&w) was afraid of santa. she wouldn't sit by his side like parker (the tan and white). I had to push her (gently of course) in front of santa and then quickly jump off the platform so they could take the picture.
