When Bob met Santa - My Sunday Photo - Week 50

Seeing as my kids are no fun anymore I accepted an invitation to take Bob to a Christmas party and meet Santa.


Operation 'Get Bob in the car' is quite a stressful process, as the second he see's any indication he's going out gets over excited and can no longer follow instructions. It's the same getting out the car the other end and by the time I'd negotiated several doors, completed registration forms, Bob almost didn't go to the party as he was so naughty, pulling on the lead, tripping me up and puling me in the opposite direction, mind you I don't think he was happy in his party t shirt and santa hat, that he removed before I had chance to take a photo.


There was space to run off the lead


 Other dogs to play with


Supervised and supported swimming


 And brand new experiences, such as being licked in the face


Disclaimer:
I am aware Bob is actually a dog and not a replacement child, I was invited, it was a bit of fun, Bob loves socialising and after all, this is Dubai.

  3. Bob looks like he is having a wonderful time - his expression at being licked made me laugh. He doesn't look too sure about it! Love the photo of him with Father Christmas too :-)

  10. Hi Suzanne, the description you gave of taking your dog out sounds about right for us too. Any inkling os going out and the dogs go manic.

    Bob is a rather handsome looking dog and no doubt thoroughly enjoyed the party. It's just a shame that you can't negotiate terms of behaviour with him like you would a child!

  11. This is brilliant and I'd be there with Saari if:
    A) she wasn't scared of everyone and
    B) It's only in Dubai.
    I *Love* the photo of Bob having his face licked - it's a classic!

    Many thanks for adding this post to #AnimalTales.

    1. i love that picture of Bob also, I've heard about dog parties etc in the UK, it's probably less advertised there than over in Dubai
