Commercial: Taylor Crossing Animal Hospital Pet Pictures with Santa 2018 – Montgomery, Alabama

Since last year’s event was a big success, the folks at Taylor Crossing Animal Hospital asked me to come back this year for Pet Pictures with Santa.  I feel right at home there since that’s where I take my dog Watson, and where I took Missy before him, so of course I said I would come.  Santa and Mrs. Claus were back again as well, along with Whitney the Elf – a Taylor Crossing staff member who was in charge of getting the pets situated since she works with almost all of them regularly.  The pets are a lot like children; some are happy to get their picture taken with little or no direction, while others are like toddlers amped up on sugar.  They all have their own personalities, and they come in all shapes and sizes,

Some are big…

…and some are small.

Some feel like meeting Santa and friends is a formal event, so they must give a shake…

…others want to stay as far away from Santa as possible. 😀

Some wear their finest holiday couture…

…and others even accessorize!

Some pets bring their siblings…

…others bring sass. 😉

Since this is a fundraiser, the pet owners placed monetary donations into a collection jar to benefit the Wags 4 Wishes charity.  With plenty of help from the staff, I photographed 156 dogs and 3 cats in 4 hours!  It’s a noisy, wild, hairy process, but it’s fun to see all the different pets and even steal a snuggle from a few of them!  Plus these goobers are pretty great people:
