Soccer Chick and Mr. AuburnChick left for her practice shortly after church. She was going two hours away to get prepared for a tournament that her travel team will be participating in after Christmas (think Disney at New Year’s…fun stuff, I tell you).
As soon as they hit the road, Rooster and I decided to have a little fun.
First, he dressed up Aubie and Pele in his favorite football jerseys…
Aubie is hoping that Auburn will do better next year. Pele is wearing a Tampa Bay jersey. Cadillac Williams, the team’s quarterback, attended Auburn a few years ago…hence the connection.
Once we got started taking pictures, we had a hard time stopping…
For that picture, I focused the camera while Rooster gently placed the hat and ran. Poor Pele…so mistreated, eh?
The last thing we decided to do was try to get a Christmas picture. I’ve seen photos that other people have taken of their pups…sitting obediently in front of a tree or fireplace…
Easier said than done.
First of all, Molly was scared of the tree. I could get her to sit, but if I tried to slide her toward the tree, she got up and ran from me. And so it went with the other dogs.
In desperation, I pulled out the treat jar. Contrary to settling them down, it only excited them further. They would sit only as long as they were chomping on a treat, then they were back up on their paws begging for more.
I gave Rooster the jar and he sat on the floor feeding them the goodies. I can’t show you that picture, though, since it’s got Rooster’s entire body in it. It’s too cute though. Here is a picture of the dogs looking at him with the treats…almost perfect, but not quite…
Rooster then moved right behind me, issuing the order to “STAY, STAY, STAY.”
Click…
They’re all in the picture, and you can even see the tree.
Mission accomplished.
