Ollie,  looking up at Kirk (who was holding turkey) wouldn't even look my way!

This is Candie. She too is mesmerized by...something

Does he look HAPPY to you? Merry Christmas you old grump!

Here are the collars before we forced them to get dressed up.

I went with the elecrtical theme cause like I said in the title, these dogs light up our lives. I had a lot of fun with this project. I took the big fat cable wire and hooked Candie's together with the plugs since she is so much bigger. Ollie's got a couple of conectors with a bolt with the head cut off to screw them together..I poked holes in the collars and wired in the replacement light bulbs and I don't think you can tell but they both had little flashing bulbs in the front of each collar that were battery powered Christmas earrings . Candie likied all the attention but Ollie would rather be in his little bed by the fireplce....what a Scrooge!

Merry Christmas!

Very cool collars for both of them! Great job!

Bahumbug is what Ollie seems to be conveying in photo #3.
This contest is too fun!
And I'm suppose to be packing, not doing this. Ha!
