Common readers have heard me say it earlier than, swearing that that is the 12 months I’ll get organised to take “correct” good Christmas images of Dozer and I to ship out with Christmas needs. But one way or the other, as with yearly (although this 12 months, I do have an excuse of renovations. transferring again dwelling, and the cookbook!), right here I’m the day earlier than Christmas, scrambling to take stated picture.
And as at all times, it takes just a few makes an attempt. (Working example: 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020) Right here’s a peek into my digicam roll for what actually went down this 12 months!
Stealing Dozer’s Christmas props
Firstly, my very own Christmas props seem to have gone lacking within the transfer, so I needed to borrow one thing from Dozer’s stash. Fairly positive the horns are Halloween gear, however one way or the other it appeared becoming for me. ??♀️
We began out with the the standard light cajoling, attempting to get Dozer to co-operate….. “Good boy Dozer! Sit up Dozer. Take a look at the digicam!”
Adopted by giving up, and utilizing brute drive to attempt to get him to stay up for the picture…
…which I managed to efficiently do, besides my gown was pinned down below his appreciable weight so I couldn’t sit up correctly.
Gown free, again to attempting to get him to face the digicam, attempting to take care of a serene-yet-happy smile on my face on the precise second the digicam timer goes off…. (#fail)
Out of persistence, he breaks free and makes a run for it, ensuing on this glorious shot….
And 20 takes later, one semi-acceptable picture. Besides… Dozer! Eyes on the digicam!! ?
? Merry Christmas!! ?
Wishing you and your loved ones an exquisite vacation and Blissful New Yr!

And a glance again at Lifetime of Dozer from Christmas’ in years passed by! It’s not his favorite vacation as a result of it’s often related to props. ? He appears mighty unimpressed right here:
And I feel it’s simply sheer embarrassment on his face right here. Ohhhhh, the sniggering coming from me as I took this picture!! So merciless.
A superb one for swimming, it sits securely on his head. This received a lot use final 12 months.
Ohhh that’s proper! That point I traded a doggie donut in exchanging for holding nonetheless in order that very tall hat precariously balanced on his furry head would keep lengthy sufficient for a photograph!
Certainly one of his earlier Christmas shoot days. That little puff of brown fur between the reindeer ears simply works on him!
Ahh sure. That point the gingerbread man’s arm went lacking and all people was so fast in charge Dozer!
However earlier than you spend an excessive amount of time feeling sorry for Dozer being dressed up in ridiculous outfits, let’s not neglect that the quantity of meals surrounding him ramps up significantly round this time of the 12 months…
The Christmas Tree Pavlova which he was closely concerned in style testing….
All these Christmas Cookies that get made particularly for him (albeit very, very small):
And people massive shoot days after we do an entire desk unfold of Christmas meals! He will get mighty comfy below desk on these days…
Sure, Christmas is superb to Mr Dozer. Identical to each different day in #LifeOfDozer!!
