The first post of the 12 Dog Days of Christmas is one that I love: A Christmas Card Photo.

If you have followed Choppy on her Facebook page during a Christmas season, you are well aware that Choppy has a lot of Christmas outfits. Over the years, I have taken lots of Christmas card photos of Choppy. Rather than take a new picture today, I thought I would post an old picture that I love.

Do you know how hard it is to get a cat to wear a Santa hat? Very hard. Do you know how hard it is to get a dog and cat to do so at the same time? Almost impossible. There were approximately 100 takes before we got this picture (with a shout out to my sister, who patiently helped by continually placing the hat on the cat).

Sadly, the cat in that picture – Boop, one of my parents’ cats – has since passed away. But we still have this hilarious memory of her (among many others).
