Angus hated Santa

[LPratt]

I took Angus to Petsmart today to get his picture taken with Santa, and as I am driving there I thought, I wonder if Santa will scare Angus....

Santa scared the hell out of him! First off, Santa was out front smoking when we got there and Angus HATES the smell of smoke, then when we went inside, the Santa guy put on his hat and beard and the whole thing and my poor dog was mortified. He didn't want to sit with him, and Santa is asking me if Angus is going to bite him (so dumb), we finally got him to sit in front of Santa and he was so terrified he looks miserable in his picture :( Oh well, it was for a local rescue....

Then some women with a Dalmation wouldn't let her dog near Angus, saying something like that isn't the kind of dog you want to play with, meanwhile, I'm thinking, lady, YOUR dog is the one I am worried about, not mine :mad:

Anyway, I just thought I'd share my story about how I traumatized my dog with Santa. He'll probably need counseling after pictures with the Easter bunny!

Leezah,
Yeah thats funny! We can't take Striker to get pics with Santa because he hates old people. He can spot them a mile away, and tries as hard as he can to pull in the opposite direction, barking at them! I think he was never around them, thats why. And they're always the sweetest people.

We saw the Petsmart ad for the photos, and thought it was a great idea. Maybe we could get one with Nellie.

I took Jazmine to PetSmart on Saturday. Not sure on how she was going to react. Well, she was very happy to see Santa-she wanted to kiss him all over and ended up pulling off his beard. It was so funny-I just said leave it to my dog. Anyways, the pictures came out real cute.

Lisa-

I am jealous- I wished Angus liked Santa :( and his pictures were cute- instead he has an alien face in his pictures and Santa is hanging on to him for dear life!

Oh well, some of our dogs were meant to be supermodels and some are, well, Angus.

I am glad someone had a positive Santa experience!

Awww Leezah...too bad. I want my guys to have their picture done with Santa too, but I know they won't behave. Well...maybe if they get it done seperately but I want them to have one together.

Jeers to the woman with the dalmatian. Grrr..stupid people make me mad :mad:

Cheers!

I took Penalty to the "Three Dog Bakery" on Saturday morning. The place was packed with people and dogs-- Penalty loves that place. He knows where we are going now- and he gets so excited. But I did have his picture taken with Santa, and he was an angel. He licked Santa- and then sat there with him like he was worth a million bucks! Too cute. He even wore his new coat in the picture- what a doll! Gotta love boxers!!!

We took our Oscar Petsmart last Christmas for a photo that was turned into a christmas ornament. He was only 3 mos. old then, so cute. But the best picture was when he got his picture taken w/ the Easter bunny. We put that pic on his webpage. We'll have to get a good picture like that w/ Santa. It's great because the pics benefit rescues.

Ok you guys are scaring me. I'm taking Megan to get her picture taken this weekend with Santa and it never occured to me that Megan might be afraid of Santa. Oh well I guess I'll try it anyways it is for the humane society, a good cause so I'll check it out.

We've done the photo with Santa 3 times. Mine all did fine.

We just had both Remy and Bailey photographed a couple weeks ago (a Humane Society benefit).
Anyway, there was a large dog in front of us (Shepherd mix) that was afraid of Santa. The photographer had Santa get down out of his chair and stand behind the partition. They then took the photo of the two owners in the chair with the dog in front. :D
