PRINCE GEORGE'S COUNTY, MD — The holiday season is upon us and we can't overlook our four-legged friends. Patch wants to see your photos of pets in reindeer ears, Santa beards and other holiday costumes for an upcoming feature starring your beloved pets.

Here's how to get your pet featured:

1. Email a photo you took to kristin.danley-greiner@patch.com before 4 p.m. Dec. 23.

2. Use the subject line: Holiday Pet Pic.
3. Include the following phrase in your email: "I took this picture and give permission for Patch to use it."

4. Include your name and be sure and state what town and county you live in, as well as share a little bit about your pet.

We'll do our best to get all of the photos included in the holiday gallery before Christmas.

Barkley is a 16-year-old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and he is the very best boy, according to his mom Tanya. He celebrated his 16th birthday on Black Friday and wore an appropriately fabulous King outfit I made him for the occasion. We have lived in Bowie for three years, prior to that we lived in England for four years. (Barkley is very well-traveled) When he is not sleeping or cuddled up with me, Barkley likes to chase airplanes. No, really. He spots them in the sky and will give chase across the lawn barking all the while. Now, to be fair- since advancing in age he does more sitting and barking rather than chasing. But giving chase to airplanes is something he has always done. (everything else is safe from him) Of note, he has yet to actually catch an airplane unless you count the flights he was actually on. -- Tanya
