My Christmas Card 2008 Photo Shoot

For a few weeks, I had been busy racking my brains on designs for this year’s “Homer’s Christmas Card”. I had toyed with a number of ideas, but none of them seem appropriate.

You can imagine my joy, therefore, when we experienced a recent downfall of snow. The backdrop was perfect and my humans and I were soon outside and into a full blown photo shoot. Here are the results...

At first, we thought that a ‘regal’ sitting pose would be ideal. Unfortunately, I wasn’t quite paying attention for this shot.

I was even worse in this one. D-oh!

When it became obvious that a sitting pose was not my forte, Missus suggested that I tried a seductive lying down pose. Unfortunately, my frosty face looked anything but seductive.

Finally, we snapped a picture which we all thought was ideal. My pose was enchanting; the props (i.e. my hat and scarf) were perfectly aligned; the backdrop was stunning: and we even had a fresh snowfall to complete the picturesque scene.

Soon, I got to work on turning my masterpiece into this season’s festive card. Here’s how it ended up...

Don’t you think it’s booti-ful? Hopefully, some of you will have already received a paw-written original in the post. For those of you who I accidentally missed out, this one is especially for you!

Merry Christmas and Happy Howlidays Folks!

Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

Aroo woo woo!

We recently had our first snowfall since arriving in Holland. I’ve only ever experienced snow once before, but this was only for a short time while I was living in South Korea. Apart from that, the weather in Australia, Singapore and Southern China was sun, sun and more sun.

As you can imagine, I immediately took the opportunity to get out into this winter wonderland...

As you can see, I was fully wrapped up in all of my winter clothing.





Why is my nose so cold???

And my belly???

Needless to say, Missus took the opportunity for a photo shoot. She wanted the perfect picture for this year’s Christmas card. More on this later...

After I returned to the house, Missus took some lovely photos of the neighbourhood. Here are a few:

Our house.

My walkway up to the park. I think I will be skating there tonight.

The park where I normally take my daily walks.

I think this is a very picturesque photo of my park.

Unfortunately, the snow has all melted now. I really loved it and I can't wait for it to come back!

Going Ga-Ga in My Garden

You’ve already seen some pictures of me posing nicely in my garden. Of course I’m not always so mild mannered. To prove my point, here’s a video of me going loopy in the garden...
