From cats that love to sleep in the Christmas tree, to a beautifully dressed puppy, these pictures of animals that are ready for the holiday will make your day better!
“Whisper, my thoroughbred mare, is filled with Christmas spirit. She loves playing in the snow,” says Paige Cerulli.
“That’s me in the Santa suit, with our favorite hen, Miss Piggy,” says Amy Bierstedt. “We love our chickens! They are definitely pets and a part of our family.”
“Every year our cats get more excited than the kids when they see the decorations being hauled out of storage,” says Anna Westerman. “It doesn’t take long before the tree starts to shake and a new angel with a tail appears at the top. Then one by one the ornaments start disappearing, and the presents under the tree come unwrapped!”
“My girls love to help their rabbits look extra festive with Christmas bows placed delicately between their ears,” says Anne Duvall. “This is my daughter Rebekah and her rabbit Cream Puff.”
“My dog Floyd loves Christmas!” says Channing Brown. “This was right after he met Santa. He looks so happy!”
“This is our newest addition, Chewie, spending his first Christmas in his forever home,” says Cheryl Stork. “We adopted Chewie two days after Thanksgiving. Shortly after, it became apparent that he was deaf. But that doesn’t stop him from living a full and happy life.”
“Doc Mike is so photogenic,” says Debra Barron. “Christmas outfits are no stranger to this 7-year-old Jack Russell terrier.”
“This is our piggy, Charlotte,” says Felicia Henderson. “We took our Christmas picture this year, and of course had to include her.”
“This year has been a year of firsts for my husband and me,” says Kerri Walden. “This will be our first Christmas in our first home, and our sweet puppy Luna is our first dog. I love Christmas and our little family.”
“We decided to do a photoshoot with our bunnies at Christmas,” says Kim Rountree. “These are Himalayan babies, about a month old. Who would not want one under their tree on Christmas morning?”
“Pets always make the holiday season cozier and brighter,” says Kristin Crosby. “This picture of my friend’s black Lab, Bailey, excites me for Christmas time!”
“My husband had just made three dog houses for our basset hounds for Christmas. I decided we should decorate one and take a photo,” says Macky Lineberry. “As sophisticated as he looks, Duke is nothing but a clown. He keeps us on our toes and laughing with his silly antics!”
