Ah time to make the pup wear stupid things...

Price: ~$12.99
Purchased from: BoyGirlDog, Mt Lawley
This toy has lasted: NA

I apologise up front for this post. My dog has never asked to be made fun of.
He's never made fun of me.

But I just can't help myself.

At this time of year when sappy Christmas outfits suddenly start popping up in stores I find myself inextricably drawn to buying these ridiculous articles.

You know what I'm talking about - bells on red collars, Santa hats with ear holes and of course, the ever popular Reindeer Ears.

I took the photo to the right after being informed that 92.9 was having a 'Santa Paws' competition. 'Alright!', I thought 'I'm in!'.

On scrolling through the over 700+ entries I started to doubt the cuteness of my puppy.

Sure, Christmas accessories - check.
Sad, depressed look on puppy's face - check.
Reasonable composition of photo (and for an extra bonus, it's in focus) - check.

But could it beat the photo of Santa's horse!?
Would it beat the sleeping shot of a Boston Terrior puppy draped in tinsel?
Or a group of 3 children dressed up like elves with a kitteh wearing an elf hat?

I'm guessing that as I've not heard from the radio station, poor Dougal didn't win...

Dougal does NOT rate this toy. He just wants to eat the fluff out of the ears :)
