   Merry Christmas Laura.
   I’ll probably be offline tomorrow, unless I get drunk – then I may invade the internets making inappropriate comments to people I like.
   I’m waiting for the last kid to hit the sack so I can wrap the last bunch of “Santa” presents. I’m thinking about giving him a shot of benadryl.

   Jack is a very handsome little guy.
   It is good though that you use digital photography. In the age of 35mm you would have blown through the entire Christmas budget to get those three pictures.

   Great pics. Do you sedate your dog and cat and then pose them. I try taking pictures like that and I end up with the top of a head or the ass end of a yorkie.
   Hope you had a good xmas.

   Actually Midtown- I have to take amost hundreds of shots to get just a couple good ones. The cats are better behaved than the dog.
