Just like all the Christmas presents I ordered online, my Merry Christmas wishes are arriving late…. But it eventually came!!! (Along with all the failed shots to capture ONE decent selfie 😂)

Annual Christmas Selfies of years gone by: 2017, 2018, 2019

Nagi Dozer Christmas 2020 Selfie

Every year, I vow to be more organised next year to get a nice Christmas photo of Dozer and I to send out to you to say MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

And here we have landed again, with no such card-worthy Christmas photo, but instead, the usual impromptu Christmas selfie. This year, even better than most years, being taken in the boot of the car (don’t ask, it will take another paragraph to explain!).

And as with every other year, short arms and an uncooperative fur ball by my side always make it somewhat of a challenge.

It involves trying to figure out the best angle for both of is (that’s my Look of Concentration):

Getting cross at Dozer for not co-operating…

And by not co-operating, THIS is the sort of thing I mean:

Countless shots where one or both of us are blinking….

And getting toppled over by Dozer when he gets a little too enthusiastic, onto the stinky Dozer-towel-lined boot of the car in my clean new dress just before we leave to visit friends for Christmas Day lunch. Yay.

Nagi Dozer Christmas 2020 Selfie

Yes, they are the duds I cull to get one decent selfie photo (extended arm included for free), where we both look semi-decent and at least one of us is looking at the camera (the other is looking at a neighbours’ dog walking past):

Yes, that’s me wearing Dozer’s Santa hat.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Wherever you are, whatever your situation for Christmas 2020, I hope you were able to find some joy and happiness. I know it’s been a difficult year and we’ve all had to adapt, to find the good in life that can still make us smile. To connect with family and friends in a different way – who knew Zoom drinks could be so fun??!

Here’s to things looking up in 2021! – Nagi & Dozer x


Life of Dozer

Dozer and Christmas always makes for amusement:

This was from 2018’s Christmas Selfie-portrait attempt, when he not only toppled me over…

….he then proceeded to lie on me while I was trying to gather myself together. 🙄

Ah, this was the year when everybody was accusing Dozer of chomping off the gingerbread man’s arm when in fact it was ME! 😂

And finally, my favourite Dozer Christmas hat. Those little ears! I just love ’em! 😂

Dozer elf hat Christmas 2020

Dozer loves this hat too because it’s quite tall so hard to make it stay on his head, hence it takes a high value treat to get him to hold still for a photo. In this case, donut shaped Gingerbread!🍩🍩🍩

    Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Nagi and Dozer! You two bring JOY around the world!

    And the Christmas Cookies were fabulous, and still fresh and beautiful. Also, the Lodge iron skillet is now my favorite — cornbread out of this world and even bacon comes out better fried in it! What an epiphany! Thank you forever for sharing your knowledge! HAPPY NEW YEAR TO NAGI AND DOZER!

    I loved your fantastic photos of you and your fur baby, Dozer. I have a lab and she also endures my many attempts to take happy snaps of her during our hikes in the forests of Vancouver Island. I am a huge fan of your recipes and I love that you have a “Dozer” tab when I need a quick fix of enjoying your pup. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

    I’m not a pet person, but I find myself looking forward to your emails, not only for the awesome recipes, but the super cute, funny pics of Dozer. By the way, I made your turkey breast slow cooker recipe for Christmas and it was easy and delicious 😋

    WONDERFUL! My personal favorite: wearing reindeer horns, one eye open, one eye closed, one tooth showing like a snaggle-tooth, glancing off to his right at a possibly delicious tidbit that far surpasses any photo ops you have planned. After all, Dozer rules! Your recipes also rule. Keep up your delightful recipes and A-Day-in-the-Life-of-Dozer photos in 2021. Addictive! Love you and Dozer.
