"Hey you can't go to sleep! If I have to endure this so do you"….nudge

[Marie Heidebrecht]

Yesterday's pix list finalists were:

"As soon as she is really asleep, I'm stealing her presents!" from Anne
Indy: "Oh Lord! Who knew a little Basenji could snore so loud!" from Rose
?We?d better get a LOT of treats for putting up with this.? from Peggy
"You think there was something in those treats we ate? Jigsaw? Jigsaw?" from Kevin & Amy
"I'm sleeping with one eye open – if Santa doesn't get here soon, those cookies are MINE!" from Chey
"How can she sleep at a time like this???? Doesn't she realize how ridiculous we look??!!!!!!!!!!!" from Dawn
Indy: that hat looks mighty tasty. Jigsaw: fine, whatev. u can have it. I'm done here. from Diana
"Indy getting ready to pounce on yet another festive holiday pom pom." from Sam
"Shhh, Mom, Jigaw is asleep. What should we dress her up as now? I am sure we could do something with whipped cream and silly string without too much noise." from J.R.
and:
You reading:
"Had just settled down for a long winter's nap,
When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter.... "
Indy: "Noooooo! Was it a burglar? I bet it was a burglar? What do'ya say Jigsaw, a burglar, like a cat burglar?"
"Jigsaw?"
Jigsaw: "Zzzzz...." from Linda

Only 2 days left! It's almost CHRISTMAS!! Today Indy demonstrates that one size does NOT fit all. This must be what it's like to dress an uncooperative toddler. The 11th day of Christmas bloopers - basenji style!

"Umm…..does this outfit make my butt look big??"

[Marie Heidebrecht]

Yesterday's pix list finalists are:

"Don't you turn your head and laugh at me! It's not my fault that
Mama shrunk my coat in the wash and no one will be able to read my Ho!
Ho! Ho!" from Dawn
"The effects of too many cookie samples while baking Santa's treats were immediately apparent…" from Jo Lynne
"Indy is slightly bloated from his holiday pom pom diet." from Sam
"Yikes..is she kidding! I can't breathe..gasp gasp" from Judy
"Maybe you?ll listen next time when I tell you these things shrink when you pee on them!" from Mike
"Oh, Mom! Slim, young gals should not be walking bulletin boards for fat, old guys. Indy on the other hand ...
Mom, Jigsaw just called me fat!" from J.R.
"Ok, now something is not right - yours fits and what the heck happened to mine?????????????" from Sue
and
Indy: "Does this outfit make me look fat?"
Jigsaw: "Define fat? A pregnant Holstein Cow ready to give birth sort of fat? Or I ate one too many ding dongs after dinner sort of fat?"
Indy: "The first fat."
Jigsaw: "Oh then, yes it does!" from - you guessed it - Linda

Time flies - here we are at the end already. Today Indy seems to want the spotlight all for himself. Poor Jigsaw's going to go find herself a chair of her own! The 12th day of Christmas bloopers - basenji style!

The final batch of finalists are:

"That was eggnog? I didn't know it made you faw down!" from Chris
Indy: "I got a mani, pedi for Christmas. See."
Jigsaw: "Real men don't get mani, pedi's Indy."
Indy: "THEY DO TOO JIGSAW! That's why it's called a MANicure, not a WOMANicure. Tell her what you told me yesterday Mom!"
You: "Ummmm, about yesterday…" from Linda
"Indy...I can't take this anymore. Jigsaw...pipe down.. we need to please mom one more day!!!!
Smile and say Merry Christmas!!!" from Judy
"Raise your right paw and repeat after me. "I, Indy, promise not to bother Jigsaw's Christmas presents in exchange for her not eating my foot."
Indy, that is your left paw!" from J.R.
and
"Hahahahaha! That was the best one yet!" from Dawn

I also have to thank any of you who voted for us in the dachshund photo contest - we WON!!! Don't tell the dachshund people I said so, but...basenjis rule, dachshunds drool!!

As our finale and our Christmas card to everyone, here is the proof that in spite of all the bloopers, I still managed to get some good photos! Jigsaw and Indy deserve all the credit for really being very good - in their minds these photo sessions are just "fun" - with lots of treats and new "toys" to play with!

Merry Christmas to everyone!

Merry Christmas! I enjoyed all your pictures, just couldn't think up any clever captions.

what she said! all the pic were so much fun to look at!

[QuizBasenji]

I got the doggies the wrong way round, so apologies. The reason being that Indy looks a bit like my boy, who was nearly named Jigsaw….

[Marie Heidebrecht]

Thanks to all of you who enjoyed the photos and those who contributed caption ideas. It's something I have fun with every year. I just can't let all the out-take photos go to waste!
