Dog Christmas card questions

What is a good Christmas message from a dog?

Keep it short and in the dog's voice: a thank-you for walks and treats, a joke about the naughty list, and a sign-off like "Woofs and wishes". The card messages section above has fifteen you can copy.

How do I sign a Christmas card from the dog?

Write the message as if your dog is talking, then sign with a playful line such as "Paws and kisses" plus your dog's name. On the animated card, type your dog's name and "from" your dog appears under the Merry Christmas greeting.

Can I put my dog on an animated Christmas card?

Yes. Upload one photo of your dog and the Animated Christmas Card shows your dog in a cozy snowy scene with the greeting fading in. The preview is free and needs no sign-up; you can keep that exact preview without the watermark (standard quality), or make a new HD take, a fresh, sharper take from the same photo and template with different details. Keeping it costs 6 credits and a new HD take costs 12.

Can I use these puns and captions for free?

Yes. Every line on this page was written for Pawtwirl and you are welcome to use it on cards, posts and gift tags.
