your pooch in pics

This just fell in my inbox: On Sunday, Dec. 9, you can have a photo taken of your pooch with Santa Claus as a fundraiser for the new Champaign dog park. Professional photographer Jonathan Kim will be behind the camera at Kaufman Lake Boathouse from 1:00 - 3:00 p.m. and will capture your pet for a minimum donation of $20. Package prices begin at $30.

I also was at the mall the other day getting Peanut some mittens and a hat (I go there as sparingly as possible, people) and I noticed a sign advertising a pet photo day with the mall Santa. Oh, and treats were going to be provided by my least favorite business in Champaign-Urbana. Excuse me while I cough up a fur ball.
