Nine Tips for Posing Your Pets with Santa

Make a Smilebox greeting

I recently checked out a Santa Paws event at the local mall. Pets had a long wait to see Santa. Here are nine tips for pet owners who take their pets to see Santa: Have your pet well socialized. Have your pet well groomed. Bring water for your pet while it is waiting in line. Bring paper towels and plastic bags to clean up any "oops." Leave the costumes off until they are ready to pose with Santa. Prevent your pet from escaping Santa by having your pet wear a harness or collar that Santa can hold onto if necessary. Have Santa hold tiny pets closer to his face for the "Oh, how cute" look. Stand by the photographer and ring a bell or squeeze a squeaker toy to get your pet's attention. Praise your dog for being a good sport while posing with Santa! Living in the moment, Amelia Animal Lovers Community
