I Got a New Toy!!

After reading lots of reviews and searching everywhere comparing prices, the husband approved my choice for a new digital camera. See, he doesn't let me make any type of electronic purchase without his stamp of approval because he's the tech geek and thinks his brain is superior to mine when it comes to gadgets. So I made a list of what I believed to be good camera choices for my price range and told him to check it out. He was impressed with the research I'd done and agreed with my number one choice. I couldn't believe it!! He ALWAYS finds something that he believes to be better than what I've chosen.

Of course, now that we own the camera, Jason tells me that it's not that nice. But really, he just doesn't know how to use it and therefore is not appreciative of all its fabulous features. I, on the other hand, am quite pleased with my camera and have been taking lots of pics. I'll share a few with you...mostly of how I torment poor little Scrappy Doo. As I've mentioned before, the Little Dog doesn't like to have his photo taken, he's not nearly as vain as the other mammals living in the house, and therefore he usually runs away and hides when he sees the camera or goes into attack mode and barks and lunges towards the lens. Like this...
But occasionally, he sits still long enough for me to get a nice shot of his sweet little face like this...



But I must say that my favorite is this...Scrappy in his new fisherman's outfit!


He hated the hat and tried to rip off the jacket. But he eventually chilled out and came to realize that I have far too much power over him and receive far too much enjoyment from dressing him up to allow him to destroy the lovely outfits that I so carefully choose for him. He can be so ungrateful at times, I must work on his manners.

And finally, since it is the holiday season, I'll share with you a picture of my beloved Christmas Tree...

Gosh...it sure does look lopsided...I wonder if it really is. Or maybe I took the picture on a weird angle. Who knows?!?! But I can tell you that this the only Christmas decor up in my house at the moment. It took me 3 hours to do the tree, because everything must be just so. And damn it, the more I look at this picture the more I realize that it's doing my work of art ANY justice. I wish I could invite you all over to admire it's beauty. *Sigh* Anyway, I've been exhausted ever since. I can't even bring myself to hang the stockings. Pregnancy is kicking my ass!!!

This morning my neighbor and I took our dogs to Pet's Mart to have their pictures taken with Santa. How fun! This crappy grainy picture cost me almost $10. However, $5 of each picture package sold goes to benefit homeless pets. So while I was busy dressing my Scrappy Doo up in silly holiday garb I was also helping out a worthy cause. Yes, I'm a do-gooder :)

P.S. The other adorable pooch is Schroeder, Scrappy's best doggy buddy.
