Rocky Visits Santa

Since Rocky is our only child I totally indulge in spoiling him and doing any activity possible allowed for dogs. One of those activities is taking him to see Santa and get his picture taken. Last year my Mother-in-Law and I took him to see Santa at the mall by her house and we had such a fun time. So of course I wanted to do it again this year! They offer pet pictures with Santa on Monday nights in the mall, since they frown upon bringing your dog to mall any old time and Monday nights aren't too crowded.

This year we decided to go to the mall by our house versus down in Bridgewater like we did last year near where my in-laws live. Since I just started my new job it was too hard to get out of work, get home, pick up Rocky, get down to Bridgewater, and back, we decided to go near us this year. I met Mike and my Mother-in-Law, and Rocky at the mall by out house on the way home from work to get his picture with Santa taken. I heard Mike even cleaned Rocky's face before taking him, what a good Dad!

In comparison to last year there was a pretty long line. We waited about an hour in total to get to the front of the line for pictures. We met Pickles and Waffles in line in front of us and also two golden doodles behind us. The line did seem to move pretty quickly and Rocky surely didn't mind at all.

I was disappointed with the picture itself, as it came out WAY TOO WHITE. The settings on the camera were totally off, but I still wanted his picture anyway for the memories. It was fun to do it again, although next year I plan to take the afternoon off and go down by my Mother-in-Law again since the pictures came out so much better there. Here's the little guy with Santa!!!

Rocky waiting patiently in line & with Mommy!

 Hey, why is this guy sleeping? Where you going Mom?
