It will probably not surprise you to learn that Bella is always the star of my holiday cards. You may remember that Bella is also full of holiday wisdom – as usual, she’ll be sharing a Bella Holiday Tip this year.
I’m not quite ready to reveal this year’s photos and tip – if I did, it wouldn’t be a surprise when people open their mailboxes! However, today I’m sharing a few photos from our holiday photo shoot. (I took over 155 photos that day – so this will probably not be the last of them I share with you.)
Think you can guess Bella’s 2011 holiday tip? (Hint: it involves antlers.) Give it your best shot in the comments!
Bella's pictures look great!!!
I bet her Holiday tip is to keep your head held high when wearing the antlers or the will slide off!!
Bella's holiday tip: Keep your antler's sharpened so if camera-happy family members over do it, your warning barks will get the message across faster. 🙂
The pictures look lovely. If these are the ones you turned down, I can't wait for the big reveal of the one you picked for the cards.
Be a dear (deer)? I love the pictures, and can't wait to see the final cut!
jen – That's a good tip!
Pamela – If Bella was hoping to use those antlers that way, she probably should have asked that they not be made of felt. 🙂
Edie – Thank you!
Great pictures. We are taking Christmas photos for the first time this year. I hope they turn out as well.
Every stylish doggie should have a pair of these.
For the perfect ensemble, put on all your accessories and take one off. (Thank you mom for removing the red nose)!
BOL!
Your pals,
Diane and Cosmo
Remember, Santa's reindeer get to eat magic corn (aka bacon).
Dahling, we must accessorize this time of the year.
Oh I love her pictures! I'm guessing her tip is to run quickly when you see the antlers before they can catch you! hehehe

That last photo is just so happy! What a sweet girl she is. I can't wait to see what you came up with this year!
This are all adorable (but, of course, Bella doesn't take a bad photo!) The last one is so joyous… love 'em!
What absolutely great photos!
I think my dogs would pee in my shoes if I put antlers on them. 🙂
Those antlers are awesome and you got some great photos!!
I think Bella's tip is "Don't leave home without 'em!" LOL!
Jessica – Fun! I'm sure they'll be great. 🙂
Mary, Roxy and Torrey – I agree!
Diane and Cosmo – I love your tip!
Elizabeth – I'm keeping that one to myself. Don't need Bella to get any ideas…
Sage – So true. 🙂
Corbin – Bella didn't run fast enough!
Kristine – In the majority of the photos she looked more serious, but we finally got her to smile.
Talking Dogs – Bella is pretty photogenic. 🙂
BeBe – Thank you!
Jan – Maybe Bella's just saving her revenge for when I least expect it.
Stacy – Thanks!
Bassetmomma – Bella would probably like the antlers to leave home and never come back!
absolutely ADORABLE!
Hmmmmm Maybe Hide under the couch until Christmas is over? Or chew the antlers before your human gets a chance to put them on you?
Licks,
Ruthi
Don't whiz on the electric fence? 😀

What adorable pictures, especially the last one – absolutely gorgeous!!! Love your cheeky face Bella xx
that pic in the grass is awesome!
Looking good Bella! You tip is prpbably don't let Grandma get run over by a raindeer!
Hey Bella, You are a perfect model for Christmas cards. All you need is some cold snow and ice behind you.
Love
Bert
So cute! What a great model–those antlers are the perfect accessory.
The LOTH tried to make me wear antlers last year. I didn't really co-operate.
So she is threatening to get the camel costume out again and make me carry one of the three wise men……
Flippin' stoopid people!!
Bella looks gorgeous though.
Love and licks,,Winnie
Bella, we really like your antlers. Those are great. You even look happy wearing them. I bet your tip is to do a good job wearing antlers and then you will get a nice treat. Take care and have a great week end.
K9 Katastrophie – She did try to chew them, but was unsuccessful! 🙂
Karen – That Ren & Stimpy reference makes me love you all the more.
24 Paws – Was "elastic" your word verification? Hehe.
Brian – Bella the reindeer runs over me on a regular basis.
Bert – I'm not ready for snow yet! Next year, maybe we'll fake a snowy background.
Winnie – Bella was more cooperative than I expected. Though this camel thing is giving me more ideas!
Marg – She did get some nice treats for participating. 🙂
Awwwe, she was such a good girl!
Those antlers are absolutely adorable! I love them, but I have no clue what her tip will be!
Amy – She was pretty patient with me, I have to say.
houndstooth – Found them on sale at CVS, of all places. That place has everything!
