Doggies Are From Heaven  Pro User  says:

I'm only the fifth to view this photo. How can anyone see this and not comment? Now that is one cute Christmas present, or decoration, or whatever he is! He doesn't even look like he minds much. Is he plugged in from behind? How'd you get an active Weimie to sit still long enough to snap the shot???

Dan...maybe I'll try a little acupuncture next!

"Plugged in from behind"...hmmmmm, better not touch that one! :) Actually, the cords run out in front of him. I took several shots but this was the only one in focus.

As far as getting him to stand still...cooked tenderloin makes my wish, his command. ;)

hmm....i bet this is how wegman got started. ;) poor gustav.

honestly, michael, you have me beat. when we were decking the tree the other day, the thought crossed my mind to wrap matea and snap a few shots, but the light of day was gone, i hate using the flash, and she was cooked after our hike. ah, yes, a missed opportunity.

just as well, you did a far more brilliant job than i could have!

by the way, plugging your dog into a wall socket via a string of christmas lights is not part of the ecollar protocol. :)

Sr. Hombre Rana, what have you done to your Gustav??? I think he was too young there to know what was going on, BUT now...I wonder if he would let you do such a thing :) Hugs!

By the way, what a coincidence! Coz at first I had an idea to decorate the same light on my body but I was afraid of it and it was kind of hot then just lied down besides them. But your shot nicer and cutie, love it :-)
