Writer With Dogs Photo Contest

It has been been almost a year since I had a dog photo contest so I think it is time.

Send your dog photos to my e-mail address bb-bjd@comcast.net . Deadline for receiving photos is November 10. Winner will receive a $100 check made out to their favorite animal shelter. Have fun and raise money for a good cause! In submitting photos you agree I can post them on my blog and on Facebook. Photos will be posted on Facebook and everyone can vote for their favorite. I will share the link here to the photos as soon as they are up. There will be a week of voting and on November 18th the winner will be announced.

So here are the rules:

• Send me one or two photos of your dog or dogs, include a short bio on them and what makes them special (they are all special, but sometimes there is a great 'tale' behind a dog that isn't always wagging). Please send in jpg format.
• Include a short blurb about your local rescue group and a link to their site.
• Be sure I have your contact information.

Remember to send to my e-mail address - bb-bjd@comcast.net. Photos will also be posted on this blog as they come in! So keep checking back.

GUS - Meet # 12 In Our Photo Contest

Feeeeed Meeeeeeeee!!!!  
It works for baby birds – should work for me too.
 This is one of my favorite photos of my foster puppy Gus.
Gus came into Chicagoland Shepherd Rescue and quickly stole everyone’s hearts -
as well as their newspapers, shoes, coffee mugs and anything else in reach.
He has since rescued a lovely family and a Jack Russell named Alice.

Roscoe Brewer - Entry # 10 in Dog Photo Contest

Roscoe Brewer:
Woof!  I’m Roscoe and I LOVE to play.  Some people see me coming and they say “Whoa… a German Shepherd” in a nervous voice while moving way over to the edge of the sidewalk (sometimes they even cross the street!).  What they don’t know is that I’m the sweetest guy around and just dying for a chance to smooch them!
