Santa & Beagle

Say "Cheese Bone."
The Beagle lets Santa know his Christmas wish is more time to vacuum.
Santa, Roxy, & Bandit
Santa, Roxy, & Bandit
Santa, Collie, & Schnauzers
Bandit first tells Santa his Christmas wish is for Santa to have a bigger lap so he and Roxy both can fit!
Bandit finally tells Santa the truth, "What Roxy & I really want is for our daddy to come home more!"
"If I could get enough pigs' ears so's those short mutts don't think they need mine, then I'd be as happy as a clam!" dreams the Collie. The Schnauzers retaliate with their own wishes, "If we could get rid of the Collie, we wouldn't have to worry about sharing anything!"
Santa & Schnauzer
Santa & Schnauzer
Santa & Yorkie
"Oh, Santa, a really juicy bone with peanut butter icing would be just perfect! Thank you in advance" requests the Schnauzer.
"Homes for all the homeless pets in the world and maybe an extra knuckle bone for me would be great," proclaims the second Schnauzer, the one with the big plans!
The little Yorkie yaps, "Just for one day, Santa, I would like to be bigger than the Great Dane down the block."
Santa, Elf Tommy, & Yorkies
Santa, Angel, & Max
Santa, Angel, & Max
The first Yorkie whispers to elf Tommy, "Do you think for Christmas Santa could just grant one tiny wish & take these stupid bows out of my hair?" The second Yorkie overhears the whisper and, echoing it, says, "And me, too! I look like I'm ready to go into battle or something, and I don't know war dances. I only know play bowing!"
Angel says to Santa, "Santa, could you just get rid of Max for me? I would be so happy." Max says, "Santa, I was going to ask for a day of freedom, but you really don't have to give me that. I can just take that on my own."
Max mesmerizes Santa directly in his eye, "More sheet rock to chew. That's all I need." Angel snorts, "Oh, brother."
Santa & Franklin
Santa, Franklin, & Kevin
Fire & Santa
Franklin laughs, "Ha! All I wanted for Christmas was a home, and I got it!"
Franklin lets Santa in on his secret, "Keep this under wraps, Big Red Guy. I have my new daddy at the end of the leash because once he gets me home, I intend to be a bad boy, and I don't want him running away."
Fire tells Santa he really didn't ask for it, but he would be really happy with a human baby in the house right around Christmastime!
Fire & Santa
Missy, Brian, Elf Tommy, & Santa
Santa, Missy, & Brian
"Sleep, Santa. Just some sleep. I haven't had a wink since that dang Missy came into my house. Do you know what no sleep is like, Santa?" yawns Fire.
Missy jokes with elf Tommy, "You know, I already have what I want. I've got my daddy right where I want him, wrapped around my little paws."
Missy smiles and tells her daddy and Santa, "I'm just practicing. I'm going to be in the movies soon, though not coming to a theatre new you."
Santa, Jeff, Holly, & Luke
Santa, Jeff, Holly, & Luke
Santa & Luke
Holly and Luke tell Santa and dad that they want to mush for this Christmas, next Christmas, and all holidays in between.
Holly tells Santa she wants a bone bigger than Luke's bone but adds, "Don't worry, though, Santa. I'm a female husky. I'll get what I want regardless."
Greedy Luke retorts, "Now that we got rid of that little filly, let me tell you the truth. She deserves coal. I should get me all the sausage and cheese."
Santa, Elves Amy P, Brittany, Jenn B
Elves Crystal & Tommy & Patrons
Santa & Elves Crystal & Tommy
Elves Amy P, Brittany, and Jenn B. tell Santa, who agrees with them, that the greatest gift in the world would be for all homeless pets to have warm & cozy homes for the holidays and all days beyond.
Elf Tommy asks the dogs not facing forward to "Please hurry. My arm is getting really tired like this."
Elf Crystal tells elf Tommy and Santa that they have just run out of film.

Portrait of a tireless and gleeful Santa
Photographer elf Crystal asks, "Are you trying to get the pup's attention or are you hailing a cab in the middle of PetsMart?"
Elf Tommy concludes "It's nice to be in the middle of a pet supply store when you need props to get the pups' undivided attention! Of course, it doesn't hurt that I donned Eau de Canine this morning."
Happy Luke
Happy Missy
Amy W & Luke
"Smile for the camera? No problem, but what's in it for me?" Luke wants to know.
"Beef jerky for me," Missy declares. "My family just loves the fragrance I inevitably emit following jerky ingestion."
After some kisses, Elf Amy W asks Luke if it's time to go home. Of course, Luke says, "Not until you feed the dog!"
