Okay, so I HAVE to brag. This is Sofie’s (my Yorkie) first Christmas with me. For those who don’t know, Sofie used to live with my dad and his wife. She was his wife’s dog, and for reasons I won’t go into again, this woman wanted to give her away to a friend when her sister came to live with them and needed constant care. Sofie has been with me since April of 2011, and this is her first official Christmas photo! Okay, so her dress didn’t come out as floofy as I wanted to, and you can’t see the cute rose. Her little tag is sideways, so you can’t see the heart that has her name on it, but look at that face!

I’m telling you, this has got to be the cutest Christmas pet photo EVER! If you are curious, the dress is a Toile Christmas design. I was drawn to it because 1. I love Toile, and 2. it had dogs and cats watching Santa as he put presents under a Christmas tree.

If you aren’t sure what Toile is, here’s a little sample:

She was a little excited, but she let Santa hold her and she sat patiently as we took her picture and picked out the perfect one. Afterward, we drove home in a torrential rain storm and when we got home, she shared some treats with her favorite kitties.
