One muddy, rain-soaked yard
One bright red poinsettia
One fairly clean agility jump
Bait bag full of tasty turkey treats
Piles of slick dead leaves
One set of doggy reindeer antlers
Set up plant and jump in back yard trying desperately not to fall down or allow your dog to nose dive in the piles of leaves or roll in the tempting mud. Entice your dog to sit in front of said plant and jump. Use your WAIT command. Treat. Pull out antlers and slip on dog's head. Quickly take picture.
Treat and take second picture. Ignore husband as he pulls up in the driveway and mutters, "That poor dog!" Treat.
Decide your dog looks way too unhappy and take the antlers off. Treat. Treat again just because you owe him big time.
Keep taking pictures and doling out treats until your dog waves at you to stop.
Treat and then practice some agility on the jumps so you didn't drag them out for just pictures. It's makes your dog happier and dumps you in the mud and leaves on your butt which makes your hubby laugh hysterically and your dog feel like justice has been served.
Merry Christmas, everyone!

Oh Jake! We were lucky and our mom skipped the antlers this year. I think she figured Leo would snatch them off both our heads and eat them =0
Do my eyes deceive me or was his tail tucked too?
Ours hate to have things on their heads too...hats, headbands, dishtowels, you name it.
