The Auditions had started...

She couldn't decide which outfit to wear for the audition

(The audition was for the role of Christmas tree fairy and there were many contenders for the position.)










She was ready for the audition

(The audition for the role of Christmas tree fairy.)












Feline fairies there were aplenty

(queueing at the audition for the role of Christmas tree fairy)











She couldn't find her headgear for the audition

(Yep - that same audition for the role of Christmas tree fairy...)















Lil Miss too-cute-for-words Maddie Mouse got the part

(of Christmas tree fairy)

(dogs and mogs obviously didn't stand a chance against such kewwwt competition)










This was HER spot for the holidays

(much more comfy than sitting on the pointy end of a tree for the Jolly Season)

Bones across the sky

(a doggy dream of bones for all)







She was chuffed with her new neck warmer

(although she had to have help with the buttons)








They provided the sparkle

(as no shop-bought bauble could)

(it was also a great place to hang out)









She loved battling the elements

(and pretending she was a swashbuckling explorer)

(but she always knew there was a roaring fire and a bowl of lukewarm gravy at home)









Was just checking security... Honest...

(What else would she be checking under the tree in the middle of the presents....?)








Yes, this chair fit her quite nicely

(you have to pick your chairs with care - they're going to be in service for quite a while)

Cat carriage

New Poodle Christmas cards

She was dreaming of a white Poodle

She was ready for the slopes

and

Ice Waltz

Corgi dogs make up a fur tree for Christmas

Of course, it takes some dexterity and sense of balance, but as long as not too much spirit of the season has gone down, then Corgis are your dogs for such athleticism. Oh, yes!
