Copley, Christmas 2009



Three years ago, if you told me that I'd be booking a photo shoot with Santa for my dog, I would have told you that you were out of your freakin' mind.  Well, here I am... very concerned about who is going to take the Copley's holiday photo.  Thought I'd share some of the best places to get your pet's photo taken this holiday season.
