Reindog 11: This is so beneath me.

If this one could talk, I think it would sound like Frasier Crane: snooty and verbose. He stands there, unbowed, even though he is clearly unhappy with the ridiculous situation he is being forced to participate in. He'll show THEM, he'll just sit here and look down his nose at all the yapping fools around him. Hmph.

Reindog 10: Terrier Santa rumble

"Hey, that's my outfit! Oh, I am gonna kick your a--..."

Reindog 9: I love my hoodie.

This Labradoodle (I think that's what he is) just looked so comfortable in his cool hoodie. And, uh, antlers. :)

Also, Chicagoist loved the Angel Dog from yesterday. Thanks!

Reindog 8: Angel Dog

How could you not melt at that smiling face? I melted. This is Daisy. She was happy to pose endlessly for everyone. So darling!

First Winter Storm, December 2007

Taken out my bedroom window, 9:30pm yesterday

We got some snow last night! About 5-6 inches so far, and after a very brief lull right during my morning commute, it's coming down again. This was pre-dawn this morning out my back window. Check out the clouds rolling in over the house on the right!



I had my camera on the drive in, so we'll see if I got anything good when I get home. Which might be a bit tougher than it was getting in this morning...

Reindogs 6 & 7: Pretty in Pink

There were several instances of owners and pets in coordinating costumes; there was in fact a whole category for it in the prizes. This was the cutest one I saw.



I confess, I love pink. I couldn't stop taking pictures of these two!

+++++

We got some snow here last night. The sun's not up yet, and it looks like it's blowing around now, but hopefully I'll be able to take my camera out for a bit this morning and snap some pictures.

Reindog 5: Green Elf

I'm not really up on my dog breed knowledge; is this a retriever, or a hound?

EDIT: It's a German Shorthair Pointer. Thanks, cofax!

Reindog 4: Pretty pup!

This dog was so beautiful -- click on the large version to get a better view of her eyes -- even the silly Santa hat looks good on her.

Reindog 3: Awwwwwwww.

My husband loves pugs, but so far I have been able to resist. Then I saw this one shivering inside his owner's coat, and I melted. So cute!

All the dogs can be seen at the Reindog set on Flickr. It will be growing all month!

Reindog 1 and 2

I attended the Reindog Parade at the Chicago Botanic Garden today, and saw lots and lots of dogs in Christmas costumes. So the 24 Days of Reindogs has been born; I'll be posting 1-2 new dog photos every day until Christmas. It was a very popular event, and luckily we were through before the snow started coming down. It was cold; most of these sweet little dogs were shivering under their sweaters.

The expression on the face of this one cracked me up. Oh, the indignity! It got no better for him once he was through with his photo op with Santa.



It was really great.
