We settled in to take our annual awkward family pet portraits last night, when suddenly the doorbell rang. We answered to find my Canadian friend, bearing homemade cookies and her greyhound, Rua. After I wiped off the blood (I’d been holding Lokii and he doesn’t take well to Neko’s loud reaction to the doorbell), had a chat with our friend and let Rua have a sniff around the house, it was no longer an option to take the photos. Primarily because all we found of Lokii for the next two hours was his costume, abandoned on the floor. He might not be very bright, but he can strip!
Spottie, however, didn’t seem to mind any of it, and was still wandering around wearing his little coat and fuzzy collar. So hubby took a few pics of just me and Spot.
My favourite one.
Tempting him stay with a treat.
Tongue!
Neko wanted to wish you all happy holidays, too!

Love the tongue.
Me too!
Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Thank you! Merry Christmas to you, and I hope you keep feeling better and better!
Thank you, I’m feeling better, it just takes time – longer than I thought.
Aww, that’s disappointing. I bet you’re ready for it all to be over and done with by now.
You have no idea. I am not the most patient person to begin with, so this is not much fun. But I am glad that we caught it early, so all in all I’m pretty lucky and very thankful.
You are, but don’t forget to have a good old temper tantrum every now again, if so inclined. I find them very cathartic 🙂 I’m glad I met you this year!
Me too! I’m glad I met you too. You are so much fun to talk to. Too bad we’re in different countries. We could really have some fun maybe end up in trouble but what fun.
Oh dear! Yes, I can see that! I have a very limited idea of what is proper these days – it just doesn’t seem to matter too much what everyone else thinks! As long as I’m not a jerk and hurt someone’s feelings, it’s all game! I might get over that way again sometime, but sure I’d love to see some of Europe since I live here!
Such a merry scene. Perfect! Joy and paw waves to all! (such cuties!)
We did manage to cobble together a whole-family shot tonight 🙂 Heading out to the pub shortly, as you do… sans the furry ones!
You are all SO cute. Much happiness to you.
I love those little blue lanterns… Where is Loki> Did you see the “awkward pet” photo in our Christmas pix on FB?
They are actually TARDIS’s! Lokes is in the official photo, taken Xmas eve. I missed yours! Think FB is acting up again.
Happy Christmas to you all! Sorry Lekii streaked out of frame 😉
Happy xmas to you darling xxxx
Thanks for the verry furry xmas pictures… you just improved my evening 🙂

What’s the point of Gravatar if my avatar didn’t load on this message?
