The Ghosts of Christmas Cards Past



So I thought it would be fun to put together all of the Christmas cards the dogs have suffered through over the years.  This is the earliest one I put together - probably 2001 right before I got Psyche.  The fact that I chose this one with Haley not looking at the camera means it was probably the only shot that Montana chose to be in!

Ah, 2002.  Looks spectacular doesn't it?  Alas, it is Photoshopped.  I thought I did a pretty good job though!  I like young Psyche's still pink nose in this one.
Sorry this is so small.  I think clicking on the picture will bring it up a little larger in another window.  I like this one - you can hardly tell that I Photoshopped Montana into the picture.  Any time he sees the camera and me trying to round up the dogs, he runs off.  I think this is 2003.
2004 - I must have been short on time and patience and Montana didn't make the cut! 
2005 - find some cute hats, slap them on some sort of willing dogs, finds some fresh snow and voila!  Instant holiday classic!
2006 - must have been a snowless year.  I am proud to say that no dogs were Photoshopped in the making of this card!
2007 - the snow is back (little did I know it was back with a vengeance).  I enlisted some help this time and managed to even include myself.  Notice Montana's ears.  Not too happy with this kind of attention, I assure you!
2008 - am I getting good at this or what?  Putting on the gloves was the hardest part, short of keeping the hats on, but we pulled it off.  What?  You're not buying it?  Oh alright!  I cheated and put up their "Elf Yourself" picture.  But really - how could I resist?
