Pet Olympics Contest

[Hillbilly Steaks]

OK, I just had this nicely typed out elaborate description of my contest and I somehow changed screens and deleted the damn thing.

So you get the shortened version :laugh:

I always see you guys having good contests and wanted to come up with one as well that everyone could have fun with.

So my contest involves getting either a funny picture of your pet (get creative) or a nice action shot! If you have to borrow or buy one, do it. I may even allow a good photoshop job

I'll run the contest until friday, and then pick out my favorites and start a poll that will run thru the weekend.

Winner gets (the pet)
A typical toy for whatever pet you have (dog - raw hide chew bone)
another toy of my choosing

owner gets
1 WOAM
1 Opus X Perfection 4
1 Gurkha of my choosing
1 RASS
1 Random ISOM
1 Padron 1964
1 AF 858 Maduro
1 Romeo Y Julieta
and I'll even throw in a mystery pack of BBQ and Jerky

Here's a couple to get us started!

Action Shot...

My Springer Spaniel, Murphy, Jumping off the dock

And then there's My Doberman luke.

LMAO!

Great idea Erik! My little Terrier is a regular acrobat, should be interesting to get a pic of him doing his tricks!

LOL

Thanks
Lee :laugh:

What a great contest!

My wife and I own two shelties and she trains them in agility. My dog (Lexington) just won two National Championships in agility this past weekend at Sheltie Nationals. In addition, my wife is also a photographer; which means we have a ridiculous number of pictures of the dogs. I'll start going through them tonight and post some soon.

Thanks for the contest!

I would consider this both funny and an action shot.....

That is my 12lb. dog mounting the 28lb. cat. :sign:

 

[Pompous Pugs]

Stupid Lazy Dog...opening her eyes is about as much activity as you will get from her.

Pompous...great shot!

I'll have to keep the camera out this weekend. Our 20ish pound Aussie/Beagle puppy (6 months) loves to beat the hell out of her best friend, an 80 something pound German Shepard/Chow mix. Some funny freakin shots come out of their little battles. I'll see if I can capture a few. Thanks for the contest! That's a nice package!

Here are a couple of ones I had one my computer at work:

The first on is Madison:

And this one is Lexington:

I have better ones that I will post tomorrow.

LC, those are great shots, look forward to seeing the others. When our little apin in the ass is a little older, and ahell of a lot better trained, we are thinking about getting her into agility to give her a "job." She is already so much better and friendlier, and all around more enjoyable when we giver her something to do and she does it, or at least tries. That's the aussie shepard in her.

who's going to be the first to put scotch tape on the bottoms of their cat's feet and get pictures of that! :laugh:

[bobbyshirley]

Here are my dogs doing their best action.... sleeping! :laugh: :sign:

Sorry for the quality it's a picture phone. ???

We have a Sheltie as well - she may not win any contest, but she is without a doubt a great pet for my 3 children - "Ruby" runs the neighborhood and is always keeping track of the kids - We also have a cat named "Pearl" - They get along great together - nice contest -

Ok, heare we go!

First up, my Boxer/Pit Sparky caught in mid drop at the beach! And when I say mid, I mean free fall...Look closely between the sand, and his ass! Pure luck shot taken at about 200 yards......

Next up, My Female Pit Maggie, biting Sparky in the ass shortly afterwards...Notice his feet not leaving any prints in the sand.

:thumbs:

 

[Lee]

LMAO

My older yellow lab tries to hide behide trees while taking a dump... :laugh:

 

[Hillbilly Steaks]

nice...the turds are a dropping! :laugh:

I may end up extending this contest a bit, depending on how many people keep submitting pictures!

Got some good ones so far though :thumbs:

Here's my dog playing with her pet cat.

Great topic! It just so happens that my dog, Kroger, held his own Winter Olympics right here in Peters Creek...

(click for larger versions)

Here, we see Kroger before the big event loading up on carbs...



...followed by a few jumping jacks, just to loosen up...



Of course, one can't compete without the proper gear...



And finally, the big event...Olympic Snow Shoveling!

 

[RGD]

Of course, one can't compete without the proper gear...

I can't stop laughing! That has got to be the picture of the year!

Very Nice PC!

I got a great laugh out of the dog biscuits one! :laugh:

 

[LC-Smoker]

Here are a few more of our two in action. I didn't have time to sort through all our pics, but I think these are pretty representitive.
