PetsMart stores invite various groups to shoot Pets with Santa pictures during the Christmas season.  The DCHS had their turn on December 10.

Here's how it works.  First, grab your dogs and make them sit calmly with Santa, for about 0.2 seconds,
while the photographer lines up the shot.  Lynda Cooksey and Bob Bybee took turns shooting the Polaroids. 

Paige waits outside the store to tell customers about the Pets with Santa event.

Some pictures had dogs, some with kids, some with the whole family.

And we occasionally have a non-standard pet.


Volunteers Kim and Clair take a moment with Santa Ray.

Doc Mills visits with Reeses, who was adopted from the DCHS just a few days earlier.  Reeses came to have her picture made with Santa too.


We will do it again next Christmas.  Thanks, PetsMart!
