"I ate the left slipper and I'd do it again. Send the right one. Love, Biscuit." That's a whole Christmas card from the dog, and the recipe is one confession, one demand and a signature, all in his voice. Most of the lists we read were puns about a dog, said by a person. These 75 sayings and puns are said by the dog, and they're grouped by what he has to say and who he's saying it to. To make the picture match, add a photo of each person and then one of your dog, and your people pull the sleigh while your dog drives it.

Make the dog say it himself
A pun works fine as a caption, but the card itself should read as if he got hold of the pen, and he only has three subjects, which are what he ate, what he's owed and who came to the door.
Here's a whole one, for your aunt. "Aunt Carol, I hear you're coming for Christmas. I've moved my toys to your side of the bed. You're welcome. Love, Biscuit." There's no pun in it, and it could only have come from that dog to that aunt, which is the entire trick.
He sounds different to everyone who opens it, too. Grandma gets "You've got turkey. I've got time," signed "your favorite grandchild." The vet gets "We're good. Put the thermometer down," signed "patient, under protest." Your boss gets "You're the reason they leave every morning. We'll talk," from "management, at home," and a friend with no dog gets "I can't imagine your life, but I wish it well."
Keep it kind, because he adores everyone he complains about, and keep it short, because a HiWith card takes 200 characters and that's about as long as a dog can sit still. Leave chocolate, grapes and tinsel out of the jokes, since anyone who loves dogs will read that and worry.
How to sign a card for the dog
His name goes last, on its own line, and the humans go underneath as staff. "Love, Biscuit" followed by "Ana and Luis assisted" tells the reader who's in charge. On paper a paw print is the classic finish, and a non-toxic washable ink pad keeps it off the rug. On a card sent by link, the sign-offs above do that job.
If the card is going to someone who wouldn't enjoy hearing from a dog, write it yourself and give him the P.S. One line from him at the bottom is usually the one they read out. For your own part, there are Christmas card messages sorted by who's getting it, and the last name plural checker will settle how to spell the family.
Put your real dog in the sleigh
Most dog cards have somebody else's dog on them. The Family Reindeer is the one card in our Christmas set that takes a photo of yours. Your people, one to five of them, stand in antlers and jingle-bell harnesses and haul a red sleigh through the snow, while your dog sits in it in a tiny Santa hat, holding the reins in its mouth. In the video the dog barks once and the whole team lifts off the ground.
Add a photo of one person, then tap Add the dog. The dog doesn't count against the five, so a full sleigh still has room for him. Skip his photo and a corgi gets the job, and we wouldn't want to be there when your dog finds out.
One of our early tests put a made-up grandmother's face on a reindeer's body. Everyone now stays human and on two legs, which leaves the dog as the only animal on the team and, by his account, the only professional.
How it works
- Pick a cardPilots, mermaids, rock stars, one very surprised cake. Every one shows a real example first.
- Add their photosOne clear face each, up to 5 people. A selfie is fine. No sign-up.
- See it free, then payOne picture of them in the card in about 10 seconds. Like it? Apple Pay or Google Pay, and four pictures arrive about 20 seconds later, the video in about 90.
What do you write in a Christmas card from the dog?
A greeting, one thing he did and isn't sorry about, and one thing he wants. "Season's greetings. The couch is mine now. Send cheese. Love, Biscuit" is plenty.
How do you sign a card from your dog?
Put his name on its own line at the end and list the humans under it as staff. On paper, add a paw print.
Can I make a card with my actual dog on it?
Yes. On The Family Reindeer, add a photo of at least one person, up to five, then tap Add the dog. It's $4.99 for four pictures and a short video, ready about 20 seconds after you pay. Photos are private and deleted after 30 days unless you keep the card.
Can the card be just the dog, or come from the cat?
No to both. Somebody has to pull the sleigh, so it needs a photo of at least one person, and it's drawn around a dog, so we won't promise what it does with a cat. The sayings are another matter. Change "ham" to "tuna" and "walk" to "no," and the cat is ready to sign.
