Holidays with animals

My dog is a sweater-wearer. I'm one of those people. Sometimes I feel like I have to make that statement like it's an addictive problem...

Hello. My name is Cara...
Hi Cara! (in unison)
... and I have a problem. I put my dog in sweaters.

I swear he loves that sweater, though. So I'm expanding his wardrobe to include a holiday sweater (we all want to be a little festive around the holidays, right?). It's the best - argyle red sweater with green, white and gold threading and a couple gold buttons. I don't want to ruin the surprise by showing it off too early...a little suspense never hurt anyone!

On the other hand, Bronx would probably eat the sweater if I tried to put him in one - despite the fact that I think he'd look ADORABLE! So what's the alternative to not wearing a sweater? A bow tie.

Just wait til the holiday pics start rolling in - you're going to love them!

 BTW I'm totally okay being one of those people. :)

On an unrelated note, we're attempting to get a real Christmas tree this year. Jackson I know will be fine. As for Bronx...I have a feeling this is going to happen:
