Happy Holidays: Snoopy Gets a Close Shave

 Sometimes you just can't win.  It's those times when you put little antlers on your dog and the fall to the floor in disgust and embarrassment and won't sit up, like Willow did on Saturday.  Try as I would, she just wouldn't sit.  She would barely look at me.

Coach is on the left wearing a red velvet bone hat with a pom pom on top and Willow is on the right with a red antler headband.

Coach was no better.  He was barely able to contain himself.  If he wasn't trying to rip the hat off, he was giving me THE LOOK, which essentially meant I had ruined his life.

Close up of Willow's face and some of the antlers.  She is not pleased.

Above is a photo of Willow giving me her version of THE LOOK.  She is tell me how horrified she is to be in antlers and what was I thinking?  So, I moved on.  I admitted defeat.  There was to be no cute holiday photo.  We would just go get the tree and move on.

Coach is sitting pensively in front of a bare Christmas tree.

Coach was very chill at the tree lot.  He didn't mark one tree.  Not even the tree we picked out (yea!).  

Willow is on the left and Coach on the right.  They are in front of a decorated and lit Christmas tree.  Coach has his paw on Willow's arm.  They are both in down stays and looking up at the camera.

Later, when the tree was decorated, I decided to try again, only without the demeaning hats.  They must have forgiven me for I couldn't have asked for a better holiday photo.  They were even holding paws.  It was so cute.  And for all you Southeastern Guide Dog people, do you see the pinecones, as decoration, in the background?! Check that one off the list of exposures!

The only thing left for Coach to experience was Snoopy and the Snoopy song, which is technically called the Linus and Lucy song.  Those are student library proctors dancing in the background.  Wait for Coach's surprise ending.  It's a hoot, maybe not for Snoopy, though!

 

Happy Holidays!!
