Wiggles
| "Twas" many nights before Christmas and the creatures were stirring all around the Applegate house. They were being pursued by a crazy photographer lady in search of some holiday hat photos. Some of the persecuted were nice about wearing Christmas décor. Others were not-so-cooperative. This year one of the best photos came from a not-so-nice feline expression. Wiggles, hands down, exhibited the best “bah humbug” expression I have ever photographed. The 13-year-old calico seemed to be saying that she was way too old for these shenanigans. While we have six cats total, only one more feline could be rounded up for the holiday humiliation. Lil’ Bit begrudgingly donned a Santa hat against his will. He sat peacefully before escaping hat-free. |  Lil' Bit |
Clem
| An early December snowfall provided and excellent backdrop for the canines' Christmas photos. Clem, the pro poser, was nice as ever during the photo session. I had purchased an extra-large elf costume. However, it didn't fit around his chest or hind end. It was only secured around his neck. Nonetheless the dedicated hound dog, took things in stride. His stoic poses in a Santa hat always make me giggle. Sadie,below, begrudgingly wore the elf costume. She looked like the epitome of Christmas costume suffering. |  Clem |

She also grew bored with the candy-cane striped antlers.

Gus Gus struck a serious Santa hat pose as well. He also had a cute reindeer antler shot. The latter was due to his chomping on a treat at the time of the photo.
Otis
I managed to capture a photo of Otis, the goat, in reindeer horns. Thank goodness it was a Sunday closed to hunting. I could only affix the horn headband once he was nose-deep in the treat bag.
Milo
Meanwhile, Milo escaped the clutches of the holiday hat fiasco. I can get him to eat out of my hand, but once I try to place a hand on him; he runs away. That's just the nature of things 'round here.
