Having Fun Taking Dog Photos with Santa at Manypaws Pet Villa

We had a great time over at Manypaws Pet Villa on Sunday taking photos of all the dogs with Santa. We want to thank all our friends for stopping by. There were some very handsome and adorable dogs who were all very photogenic! We were able to raise money for a local animal shelter, Animal Advocates, in Dartmouth MA and mingle with some wonderful fellow dog owners.

Gracie was exhausted after 2 hours. She was so busy barking at everyone to get in order and in their places!

We took some great photos and enjoyed every minute of it. We created a holiday dog video for all our friends. Check it out and let us know what you think!

  

All dog photos are available by email or you can pick them up at Manypaws Pet Villa after December 9th. Manypaws Pet Villa's email is: [email protected] or give them a call at: 508-636-5566. 

Happy Holidays!

Get Your Dog's Picture with Santa

Please join us this weekend on Sunday, December 4, 2011 from 2:00 - 4:00 p.m. at Manypaws Pet Villa (aka American Canine) in Westport, MA.

Santa will be at the Villa for pictures with your pooch! No Cost for the photos, donations accepted to support the work of Animal Advocates in Dartmouth, MA. All dogs must be in good health and on-leash. Guests are also welcome to bring their own camera!

Photos again this year will be taken by Gracie's mom & dad! Stop by the Villa and you can see where Gracie goes to doggie daycare. Check out some of our photo's from last year in the dog video below:

  

We have been taking Gracie to ManyPaws Pet Villa for a little over 3 years now. We've participated in some great training classes with Marcia Albert @ ManyPaws Pet Villa and Gracie is a weekly visitor for doggie daycare. She even has her own hook to hang her leash on with her name on it. Joan & Karen are both wonderful and treat Gracie as if she were their own dog. 

While you are in the area, don't forget to check out some of Gracie's favorite dog friendly beaches and reserves! Click here... for details. Make a pet friendly day of it and enjoy. We look forward to seeing you all there!!

Gracie on Christmas Eve Opening Presents

We had a wonderful time last night on Christmas Eve with our family. Gracie got to open all of her presents and enjoyed every minute of it!

Gracie found her favorite dog toy, but as you can see she was wiped out from all the holiday festivities!

We also took a cute video today on Christmas morning of Gracie playing with one of her new toys.

 

Gracie wishes you all a very happy holiday and wonderful New Year!

Do you have any videos or pictures of your dogs opening their presents this year? Share them with Gracie's Bark!  Email us anytime at: [email protected] or post them on our Facebook Page at: www.facebook.com/GraciesBark.

 

Gracie's Dog Letter to Santa

Dear Santa:

I wanted to write to tell you that I am a very grateful pup. I love my life, my friends, my mom, and my dad very much.

 

 

 

What do I ask you in this letter for Christmas this year? Well, I have a list that’s near and dear:

I’d like for all pups needing a home,
to find a family and need not to roam.
I wish for all those scared, cold and hungry,
to be safe, warm and have a nice full tummy.
I ask that you pay particular attention,
give a pat on the head and a special mention,
to all the people who rescue and shelter,
they all make a great helpers.
But, if I may be selfish for just one minute,
even though I may have hit my limit,
I’d like to add one more item to my Christmas list
I will be a good girl and hope you can assist.
Please help me hit my mission of 500 fans on my Facebook page
I promise my audience I will engage!

That’s all I ask for as my Christmas gift,
for you to bring these on your evening shift.

Loves and licks,
Gracie
