Christmas has landed…
…at chez ‘Lu. The tree is up and the dogs have been decorated:
The tree - we went with LED lights this year, I’m not sure how I feel about it yet but I do feel good about the energy savings (and finding the lights on sale half price).
As for the dogs, we tried to get a picture of them both together, you can imagine how well THAT went. Even better, I can show you:
um yeah, they don’t do close quarters well…yet. Yes, Beanie is trying desperately to get the wreath off of herself. *sigh*
We did get individual photos done (sort-of):
Beanie asks, “does this wreath make my hips look big?”
…and Jazz is just pissed. Something tells me she doesn’t want to be an elf.

Oh my goodness! That picture of Jazz made milk come out my nose. Not a great way to end a evening
You all better sleep with the lights on and one eye open, you know, just in case looks could kill

That is too adorable!
December 3rd, 2007 at 9:55 am
I don’t know which got it worse, but from the look on Jazz’s face. That’s one unhappy puppy!

The elf pic is priceless!

LMAO Oh my GOD I just snorted and almost choked at the same time. Seriously… that picture of Jazz is PERFECT for a holiday card! You should make your own this year.
Thanks for starting my first day of (possible) Grand Jury duty off right!

LOVE the festive pooches!
December 3rd, 2007 at 10:51 am
My God, you dressed the dogs. You are either very brave or very reckless.
I really think you should send the picture of Jazz out as your Christmas card.
December 3rd, 2007 at 11:10 am
Jazz is going to kill you in your sleep. That picture is wonderful. It’s very nearly a Christmas card.
December 3rd, 2007 at 11:28 am
Your beautiful tree picture is overshadowed by the hilarity of Jazz the Elf. If she was on a card the inside would read, “Happy Freakin’ Holidays”. I wanna dress up my cats now. Cheers!

OMG. Are you going to use the picture of Jazz for your Christmas cards? It’s priceless!!!!
Great tree, tho.
December 3rd, 2007 at 3:26 pm
LOL!!! Love that look on Jazz’s face! I agree, great Christmas card photo! Soooo funny.
Your tree is lovely!

Beautiful tree and those dogs are too cute!
December 3rd, 2007 at 9:32 pm
ROFL!!! OMG those dogs look hilarious! Thanks for a good laugh!
December 3rd, 2007 at 9:36 pm
Beautiful tree! Oh and that last picture should totally be a poster. Totally.
December 3rd, 2007 at 10:12 pm
Too funny. Daddy put Jazz’s picture up as our wallpaper. It’s a bit frightening.
Love ya, Mom
December 3rd, 2007 at 10:35 pm
I’m loving the Elf picture. Jazz looks incensed.
December 3rd, 2007 at 11:17 pm
Oh my gosh, Jazz doggie really IS ticked off. How cute the dogs are. Your tree is lovely. The dogs crack me up!!!
December 3rd, 2007 at 11:20 pm
Regarding Jazz: I guess you got her back for chewing up your LL Bean slipper the other day, huh?
What kind of dogs are those two? They are darling.
December 4th, 2007 at 7:27 am
Oh my! They are SO cute [like tiny Rottis]! The last photo cracked me up! Thanks for a much needed laugh.
[Your tree is beautiful, btw.]

That’s one angry looking dog… but I have to say one cute elf! My mom got the LED lights for her tree this year. I think the blue tint is what’s throwing you off. It doesn’t have the warm feel of the yellow lights. But hey, you’re saving energy and they don’t put off any heat so you don’t have to worry about burning down the house!
December 4th, 2007 at 6:36 pm
Somehow there’s nothing cuter than a ticked-off elf. Should I try it with my cats… nah, can’t afford reconstructive surgery.
December 5th, 2007 at 2:20 pm
o my frickin gawd, I love Jazz. Oh the indignity!
Why is it our puppies say so little, yet can express so much? Its gotta be some kind of K9-mind trick.
December 6th, 2007 at 1:54 pm
Gawd, what is it with people and their need to decorate dogs? Aren’t we good enough in our naked form?
With much sympathy,
Bella, professional dachshund

Wow, I didn’t know dogs could glare. Jazz is definitely glaring.
December 7th, 2007 at 3:56 pm
That shot of Jazz is absolutely priceless. I bet Cute Overload would publish that.
December 8th, 2007 at 12:52 pm
Your tree is beautiful! But OMG, the dog pics are freekin’ hilarious. Especially the last one! That is totally the “I will kill you in your sleep you damn human!” look!
December 10th, 2007 at 6:11 pm
OH MY GOD!! That last picture!!
Too hilarious for words.
Have you seen Knit Furmiliation on Ravelry? I think you have a candidate.

[...] …is hers. I feel bad. Jazz decided that Santa was to pay my debt for ‘The Great Canine Humiliation of 2007″ [...]
