Wishing You A Yule That's Cool!

I thought I'd share our Christmas card with you all today. I got the idea for the card, based on the immortal words of Louis Armstrong, last year while I was listening to Christmas carols.

If you don't know the "Cool Yule" tune, you can listen to it here. The hubs and I are fans of Louis so I really like this song.

 Here's the back of the card. (Rita was well-paid in treats for her modeling work.)

 And here are some of the outtakes. The hubs and I aren't cool enough (like Rita is) to make the front of the card.



 Pooch Smooches is taking a break until the new year. "See" you in 2016!

Hope you all have holidays that are filled with love, laughter and lots of pooch smooches!

    Don't feel bad, humans will never be as cool as our dogs, no matter what people tell us. Have a fun break.

      I just told her to "down" and "stay" then put them on her and showed her I had treats for after. Then I snapped pictures VERY quickly! :)

      You're right - no one can be as cool as a dog in shades. As Snoopy can attest.

    That's SO cute. I waited too long as usual and so I scrambled to make a card, but I did it.

    I hope you had a great Christmas and here's to a Happy New Year!
