I occasionally put a triangle scarf on Jack to accentuate his rugged good looks. Sometimes I even put him in a coat if the weather is seriously cold or heavily raining. What I don’t do, however, is dress him up in outfits or costumes. Jack thinks such things are unnecessary and undignified. His sister, Lucy, used to love being dressed up. She’d pout when it was time to take off her coat or her scarf after an outing and on Hallowe’en she’d prance around in her costume and pose for pictures. Lucy was a comedian and she loved anything that made people oooh, aaah or laugh. Not my Jack, though. Jack is a straight man and he does not like to look silly so when I recently attempted to take a few photos of him in a Santa hat he made his displeasure known. I gave it my best try, but Jack was having none of it. Click-through if you’d like to see a few shots of Jack’s increasing frustration. (Sorry, Bubba. I won’t do it again.)

Grumpy Jack.
Who’s a good boy then?
Buggeroff!
He just watched his dignity die, poor guy!! :D Don’t worry, Jack -- you’re still awesome!
Hilarious! Like a kid made to wear bunny slippers for Nana to coo over.
:-D “I will NOT co-operate!”
Aww!
I did some pictures with horses and santa hats. It turns out horses take themselves seriously, too!
LOL. I tried this with a miniature horse colt, once, and he simply would not cooperate. The photos *were* funny though. I can sympathize, Jack!
Good boy, Jack!
Our malamute is the comedian, but he also generally refuses to hold still, and thus I have taken many blurry photos of him with various things on his head. The Pyrenees is the serious doggie-- I cannot usually apply the hat, bow, or scarf, alas, she is even in her elder years too adept at the passive aggressive cranial bob-and-weave. Newman didn’t even notice when I stuck a birthday bow to his head and snapped a shot, Mollie dodged the bow mostly successfully and once it was finally tentatively applied, shook it off before I could so much as step back to lift my camera.
Good boy, Jack. Next year mommy gets to wear the hat and you take the pics!
This series made me laugh. Especially the last two photos. :-D
I don’t even need to put any hat on my cats in order for them not to cooperate. I just point the camera at them and it’s enough to get the kind of behavior Jack is showing here.
