Santa Paws

This photo made me sweat!  No kidding.  She (Chelsea dog) knew how important it was to me to capture this photo of her with the santa hat and knew how hard I worked for this photo.  I lugged a feisty two year old out and about looking for the santa hat then waited patiently for a fresh white snowfall.  Then early in the am I dressed the feisty toddler in warm layers, loaded the vehicle, picked up a coffee & donut holes for dog, and put the peddle to the metal to get to the dog park before all the other dogs.  I wanted fresh snow that was unmarred by any human or doggie prints.  We found the right spot.  I held my breath and hoped that no squirrels would dart out from a hiding spot.  I put the hat on and got the first shot and only shot.   Immediately after the first click a new puppy arrived on the scene and we were done our photo shoot.  Phew!  I guess the hardest part was trying to manage the dog and keep my daughter from running in the snow and getting the dog excited.  E for effort I guess.  Sadly, this was her last photo.
