Funny Yorkshire Terrier Christmas Shirt Merry Christmas Boop Snowman Carrot Nose

A little Yorkshire Terrier sits in the snow with its chin tipped skyward, and the tip of its nose has just touched the tip of a carrot. Both hold still. That single point of contact carries the whole joke, with the word BOO-P stacked beneath a looping Merry Christmas as if the moment came with its own sound. Everything else in the picture gathers quietly around that small meeting.

Funny Yorkshire Terrier Christmas Shirt With a Carrot Nose Waiting to Be Booped

This Yorkshire Terrier Christmas shirt is for the person whose Yorkie investigates the world nose first and then waits to see what the world says back. The snowman answers kindly, with a small curved smile, rosy cheeks, a black top hat wrapped in a wide band, and twig arms held out as though the visit was expected. Both of them wear plaid scarves with the same pattern and the same fringe, which suggests someone in this snowy yard dressed the pair together before anyone had said a word. Behind them a pine tree holds a little snow on its branches, and the whole scene has the hush of the quiet minute after everyone else has gone back inside.

We pictured this one in a house where the Yorkie has opinions about everything new: the ornament hanging a little too low, the wrapped box that showed up on Tuesday, the snowman someone built by the fence. Yorkies do that. It suits tree trimming and holiday card photos, and it suits the slow morning when the house is quiet and the dog is asleep on your feet. The word BOO-P works as a private joke between you and the dog, and it is loud enough that a neighbor will smile at it from across the yard. Dog people recognize that nose-forward curiosity at once, and they tend to start telling their own stories.

Who Else Will Smile at a Dog Booping a Snowman’s Carrot Nose?

Anyone who has loved a curious dog will get the joke, including owners of other small breeds and grandparents who have heard every story about a Yorkie. The humor sits in a nose meeting a carrot, so it travels well beyond the one breed pictured.

Somewhere this December a Yorkie will tip its chin up at something new, and you will already be wearing the picture of how that goes.
