Got this photo from my mum last night. Poor Bruno – he’s really not feeling the Christmas spirit in this get up.

Meanwhile….

All the pathos heavy pets that have appeared in Broadsheet’s My Pet at Xmas this year.

Is your dog/cat/rabbit among the menagerie of 120 Xmas-attired animals?

Kindly and patiently compiled by Sam Fitzpatrick, who has no pets of his own.

Hence the plaintive piano music.

Mmmf.

A happy Xmas to all pet owning readers. My pet at Xmas to broadsheet@broadsheet.ie marked ‘My Pet At Xmas.

One big happy family.

With a cuckoo in the nest.

This is our rescue dog Jake, we only have him about 7 weeks and we love him to bits.. The friendliest, most loving, and best Crimbo jumper-wearing dog I ever saw. He’s also Batdog by night. Well, for Halloween night anyway.

This is Darcy. He loves decorating the house!

This is Sassy Pants, she is 8 months old. She is delighted with the Christmas tree because it is something new for her to eat, she eats everything and anything, and is looking forward to turkey, ham, potatoes, trifle, pudding, and cheese, especially the cheese…

This is Cooper my rescue dog and best buddy. Cooper is deaf so is pretty crap at recall and other commands, but I love him to bits!

Angahard writes:

Felix doesn’t like turkey, isn’t a big fan of the Christmas tree and definitely hates reindeer.

It really is the most wonderful time of the year for domestic animals. Your pets at Xmas marked ‘My Pet At Xmas’ to broadsheet@broadsheet.ie.

Frank the mischievous elf./Basset hound  rescued from the pound in Wexford two years ago. I love him dearly.

Meanwhile…

Deirdre writes:

This is Chaya (a ten year old tripod) was saved from starving to death on the streets of Thailand after being hit by a car which badly damaged her front leg. She was taken in to the shelter severely underweight and they had to amputate one of her front legs. She was nursed back to health over several months. I adopted her earlier this year and she came to Ireland in August. The Soi Dog Foundation who need money for a new animal hospital in Phuket Thailand. They do amazing work with stray dogs and dogs saved from the Dog Meat Trade in Thailand. To take part in the campaign, people need to do is post a festive photo of their pet on Facebook or Twitter using #soidogselfie. or donate here.
