Carnival of the animals

In the spirit of the season, even though I want to spit nails the next time (ever, and I do mean EVER) I hear "Feliz Navidad," I volunteered today to be a Santa's helper at a local PetSmart store, printing pictures of nice people who wanted to pose their (mostly) pups with Santa Claus. All proceeds went to Going Home Greyhounds, the rescue group that brought us our lovely hounds.

So, my fellow volunteers & I took pix of Spike and Daisy, Carly Ann and Turbo, but not of Sadie, who was totally tail-between-the-legs-and-quivering traumatized by Santa. Poor sweetie! Reilly the cat was cute, too, until he hissed at Santa (great photo, though!)

Best part of the day? After a nice nap, sitting in the family room with a drink and my dog snoozing and the stereo on, listening to "Carnival of the Animals" by Camille Saint Saens.

Oh, and I read the paper, too!

Can a Sunday get any better?

Cheers!
