Why every parent takes their kid to get their photo with Santa. You know, it’s fun, it’s festive.  We’re going to put them on our Christmas cards.  We’re going to hang them around the house and send them out to everybody.

One of our friends did it on Facebook, and we saw it, and we’re like, we have to do it.  We like that the money goes obviously to a charity, and it’s some of the best Christmas photos that we get.  So, we ended up putting it in our calendar for the family, or we also put it in our Christmas cards.

Dogs are just like kids.  Some of them will jump up in your lap, other ones will run away from you.  Some will sit in your lap and cry the whole time.  Everybody says, “How are the kids?”  I say, “The kids are great.  Once in a while the parents aren’t so easy to get along with. (laughs)
