It's that time again...



Teabag was not in the mood to be decorated this year.


She prefers the company of the angels

Peg of course is always up for a spot of posing, however undignified it may be


as long as there is chicken compensation for such suffering. In fact she's thinking of starting a doggie 'no win, no fee' claims helpline

Have you suffered loss of dignity at the hands of your owners this year?

Have you been the subjected to silly posing? Had your image distributed across the interweb? Forced to wear tinsel and it's not your fault?

Then call the Peggy Flobbins' Loss of Dignity National Helpline now and you may be entitled to compensation. Or sympathy.

Peggy's terms and conditions apply. Always read the label. Remember your chicken may be at risk if you do not keep up your posing.

Happy Christmas Chaps

See you on the other side

Teabag still looks dignified even with tinsel around her neck. I have not attempted to decorate the cats with tinsel, or anything else, as I value my life.

Fran said...

That made me laugh! Poor Teabag.

Nora said...

I have not attempted to decorate Tyke. He would probably destroy whatever I draped around him.

I think Teabag looks great, but she definitely deserves a reward for posing so prettily.

You do have very co-operative dogs.

That HAS made me smile bigly. Lots of Crimbly love to you all, whether or not there's tinsel round your necks or chicken in your teeth...

Very witty Ms Lane :)

Although, I was tad surprised not to see any pink tinsel! ;-)

Have a Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year. TFxx

Denise said...

I think Peggy's business could take off, so long as you're not having to provide all the chicken compensation... I'd love to decorate the rabbits but they're too quick! Hope you have a lovely, relaxing Christmas xx

sonia said...

Keep up the good work,Peggy-remember the prowlitariat has nothing to loose but it's chICKEN.
Merry Christmas to you and yours and a happy and prosperous (writing) year.
p.s.
"Any human heart" by W.Boyd is wonderful-just in case you haven't read it.

Happy festive wossnames to you too, and I hope 2011 treats you well.

Debs Riccio said...

Oh, love, love, love - now |I remember why we have pets... they're the replacement for not being able to dress up the kids in daft costumes now they're teenagers!

laurie said...

is there anything better than a santa hat on a dog?

i think not.

Shirley Wells said...

Aw, wonderful photos!

I haven't decorated our pets. Yet. ;)

Happy Christmas, Lane!

Marcheline said...

Wishing you the veriest of merriest from over here in New York!

Faye said...

Question for Peggy F. Do you take human clients as well? I've lost my dignity too many times to mention--usually on the internet. What's worse, I didn't even know about the chicken clause. Need your help, Pegs! My people will call your people. But not before the new year.

All the best to you, Teas, and the Other Three in 2011.

Debs said...

They always look so utterly adorable.

Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas. x

Chris Stovell said...

Cute, cute, cute!

Merry Christmas and a happy, healthy and stonkingly successful 2011 to you m'dear - and thanks for all your kindess and support.

Lane said...

Thanks chaps.

Felix - I've been meaning to read that. Thanks for the reminder!

Faye - Peg will take any clients she can get. I warn you - she doesn't come chicken cheap. She looks forward to hearing from 'your people':-)

Crystal Jigsaw said...

Brilliant post. Doggies look gorgeous!

Happy Christmas

Awwwww lol...Merry Christmas and a very happy New Year to you all.

Boonie S said...

I'd like to read the litter-ature before I make a claim. I don't want to be sold a pup....
This is a lovely post, and very funny too.

I've just enjoyed a subterranean homesick Christmas, but I'll soon be revisiting Highway 61 - well, Sooner or Later I will - and then it'll be all over (now Baby Blue?).

Happy holiday to you from Boonie and Mrs S

Karen said...

So cute :o) Molly absolutely won't let us dress her up, she's a real party pooper in that respect. She did eat half a tin of Celebrations and a whole cake on Christmas night though, so I guess that was her way of celebrating the festive season!

Hope you all had a lovely time x

Amanda said...

Awh, such lovely photos, Lane. Hope you had a great time - and lots of good wishes for 2011 x

Troy said...

Hope you had a great Christmas. The only pets we have are Troy Junior's goldfish and we haven't found a way to decorate them yet - any ideas?

Jenny Beattie said...

I love it. A loss of dignity helpline. Thanks for the laugh Lane.

Best wishes for a happy 2011.

Liane Spicer said...

You little doggies are so cute!

Have a wonderful 2011, Lane!

Casdok said...

Ha ha!! V good!
Happy new year 8)

Nicky Schmidt (Absolute Vanilla) said...

Teabag looks thoroughly miffed at the indignity of it all! :-)

Bluestocking Mum said...

Aww, gorgeous Teabag.

Good to make your aquaintance. I found you thro Queenie.

Look forward to dropping by again.

btw - I'm still tittering at Teabag.

warm wishes
Debbie

I loved these pictures and I don't know how you get your pooches to sit still long enough to get them. My two would be calling dogline to report me for k9 abuse, the wee buggers

Hope you are having a good year so far and all the best for 2011. X

Marcheline said...

Dear Lane,

It's January 23. More than a month since we've heard from you. Are you trapped under a bag of kibble? What gives?

Miss you,
M

Lane said...

Thank you chaps.

Marcheline - Ha! Yes, trapped under a giant delivery of kibble that they have suddenly decided is no longer to their taste:-)
Be back soon - and thanks for asking.
