I will give you special dispensation if and only if I can see the picture of your dog on Santa’s lap. (Sigh, I’m only human.)

As the parent of a cat and a ridiculously spoiled dog, I hear you on playing more with your pets instead of buying them material gifts that they really couldn’t give a fig about.

But my one concession each year is the pet santa thing, and that’s because PetSmart in our area has a program where if you bring your pet to get photographed with the mighty bearded one, a local animal shelter receives all the proceeds.

We actually volunteer on those days to staff the photo shoots, and it’s a lot of fun. The shelter gets some dough, we get a cheesy picture with the dog. (The cat would never put up with this.) It’s a win-win.
