Jesse Freidin, Pancake, and Booker Buy a Tree

{This week, I will be featuring images of dogs in the Christmas spirit.  Guest blogger and photographer Jesse Freidin kicks off the series with his trip to the Christmas tree lot with his girlfriend’s dog, Booker, then tree trimming with the help of his dog, Pancake.  These shots really get me in the Holiday mood.  Thanks, Jesse!}

Today I went to the Christmas tree lot  with my good friend Booker to pick out my very first Christmas Tree.  Well, let’s just call it a Holiday Bush.

Booker volunteered to find me the perfect shrubbery — he’s a real thoughtful guy.  After licking and sniffing every pine and fir in sight, he reminded me that I might also need a beautiful handmade wreath for my front door.  Always thinking ahead, that Booker!

We shoved my new perfect tree in the car and zipped back to my house where Pancake was waiting to help decorate.  Pancake and Booker were very thoughtful at first, but they got pretty tired after all that ornament hanging, rolling around in their new holiday sweaters, and drinking out of the tree basin.

Brilliant! — Jesse Freidin.
