[cbrrescuemom]

This was hard - they are all great shots but since the category was take-off I eliminated those that fell more into the "landing" category which left me with these favorites.

Stanley
Sally
Prince Andy
Miss Foxy Pants
Chloe

I also think that Stanley should receive an Honorable Mention for his photo of Craig. And, I know that Craig really enjoys freeze dried tripe!

[MickeyD'sMom]

Here are my nominations:
Spud (come folks he is 13 years old and I've seen him go over 19')
Chloe
NevadaPup
Katie
Stanley
Honorable Mention: Craig, although I agree with Dave not a good take off!

I know I'm way out east and everything, but you forgot to put Carly on the list.

[red poodle]

I vote for sally, chloe , mickyd , andy

[GoodLabs]

Vote for my sister -- GANDALF

I know she ain't the biggest jumper and we are just Texas folk -- but my sister Gandalf gave her heart and soul to produce all the courage she required to jump off the dock. It takes some significant body control to jump so small and not hit your rear on the side of the dock!!

http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee294/goodLabs_bucket/LizzieCountry007-1.jpg


Our photos again.

GANDALF her first and only recorded jump of 6 inches

Lizzie (me) with my first BIG jump. It obviously surprised me too.

[NevadaPuP]

Hi Guys,

I was driving myself crazy trying to go through all the photos so I thought I would make a Photobucket of all the pics for this month so they would all be in one place to make it easier for everybody to decide who to vote for. Go to this link http://s296.photobucket.com/albums/mm191/SplashDogs/June%20Photo%20Contest/ and vote, vote, vote :)

If I missed anybody, let me know and I will add them.

Shari

[Team Chloe]

awesome job.....

The only one I don't see is Makena? But I don't see her on the original thread either? I do know one was posted at one point!




Also.....many people have posted....but not voted!....come on folks your pups can't win without votes!!!

[NevadaPuP]

awesome job.....

The only one I don't see is Makena? But I don't see her on the original thread either? I do know one was posted at one point!

Also.....many people have posted....but not voted!....come on folks your pups can't win without votes!!!

Yeah me too :confused: I thought I saw a posted pic too but when going through them No Makena??

Okay folks, its easier to see all the pics now go VOTE, VOTE, VOTE

[NevadaPuP]

Geez... it was easier to post the pics than to vote. All the pics were great. It was hard to single out any of them but after narrowing it down from my favs (which is all of them), here are my pics.....

Katie - just awesome and my favorite
Sally - looks like she went to the same school as Captain Big Bark :-) "Cujo training 101"
Chloe -Love the ferris wheel in the background and the very real looking DFT flying through the air
Spud - gotta give the old man a vote - 13 WOW
Sassy - had to give a vote for one of our "Angels" rest in peace SassyGirl... xoxoxo

Honorable mention
MickeyD - love the tail barely touching the water and eyes closed
Lizzie - great surprised look saying "Oh no I wanna go back I am going to hit the water"
Miss Foxy Pants - nice push off
Dustin - another nice push off
Abraham - and yet another great push off
Carly - great look of determination
Molly - nice form
Emma - OMG... she's walking on water
and..... Craig - look at Henry saying "hey this is my water, what are ya doing" ;)

Good luck to everybody.

[MickeyD'sMom]

Shari:
Great job on the photobucket site! Also very good campaign
strategy!!!!

[NevadaPuP]

Shari:
Great job on the photobucket site! Also very good campaign
strategy!!!!

Wasn't meant for a campaign strategy but now that you mention it. Hmmmmmmmm.... :) There were so many good photos I didn't even vote for my own girl ;)

It was actually very easy to put the pics in photobucket. I have seen lots of people use it lately and was inspired (by John and Bucky mostly) to go check it out so this gave me a good excuse. Next month will be even easier cause as everybody posts the pics I will add them so we will be ready once voting time comes. Now we just need that voting poll tracking thingy that Brian had last month. Hey Brian tell Sandra how to do that please.

[MickeyD'sMom]

I think I have that one figured out Shari, we'll know on Friday, won't we????

[NevadaPuP]

I think I have that one figured out Shari, we'll know on Friday, won't we????

Ahhhhhhh you are keeping it secret. Works for me!

[PrinceAndyFlores]

Prince Andy
Fetch
Tractor
Pooh Bear
Moose

[GoodLabs]

Since the theme was "The Launch", I'm going with pics of launching...

Gandalf
Lizzie
Sally
Sir William
Spud

Lots of fun pics. Loved seeing Crash and Pooh Bear. I got to see Rebel jump the other week. :) And meet half of Team Fire & Ice.

Great pics of the "pursuit of the toy" ... Chloe, Katie, Nevada but I think that should be a different theme so I stuck with the launch.

We will join in when we can. Unfortunately, I don't have many pictures of Lizzie jumping. :( Hopefully, that is improving.

[Team Chloe]

the subject matter of this month was....

"pup's launch off the dock prior to entering the water"

So basically it was from just after take off to just before entering water....

That was my take on it.....wasn't just launch....

All the pics were fantastic really! Just think how many pups are sitting home being couch potatoes, when all these pups have hit the jackpot!!!!!!

Here are my nominations
Spud-guess everyone saw that one coming
Sassy-because although she is gone she still lives on in our memories
Chloe-love the look of determination on her face to get her bird
Carly-well have to say she reminds me a lot of my girl Rampage
Foxy-because she too reminds me of my BC girl Jinx
Have to say there were a ton of great pictures so it was very hard to choose. Can't wait to see what next months contest will bring

Sally has never had tripe, so she got on the internet and read all about it.

http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w96/nancyakin/glasses2-1.jpg

She decided she liked it and wants some!!

Now her brother Spud is chiming in on the contest:

[MickeyD'sMom]

Need I say more???
http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o185/sandraestewart/Spud-2-1.jpg

[ssejrnv]

OK since I believe in being totally honest (I know not the normal political strategy), Spud will be turning 13 July 15th 2008. However, this picture was taken last year at the NSF a little over a month after his 12th Birthday. I am very proud Spud....go veteran dogs!
Tasha, that picture of Andy drooling (although not very Prince like) is just too funny.
JJ and the 6-pack

[MickeyD'sMom]

JJ:
Since when is there honesty in politics? Are you trying to start something new??????

[Team Chloe]

You know what is awesome......

27 pups from all over the country that have received at least one vote!
20 people have voted from all across the country!
We have big jumpers and little jumpers!
We have young pups and old pups alike!
We have big dogs and we have small dogs!
We have pups that have passed!

Think about it folks....all these picutres...all these memories....How precious will all this be when our pups do pass! I read recently a story of Chase's brother Jett just passing away from Cancer. Two weeks before they thought he was healthy! That is why we are working to "Chase away K9 Cancer"! Hug all of these pups!! Hug each other....We can do it today....might not be able to tomorrow!!

No matter who gets votes or who doesn't....all of these pups have helped enrich our own personal lives as well as bring us together as friends!

I want to say a big thank you to all of you! You and your pups are very special to us!!

Dave & Chloe!!
Erin & Ginger!!

[ROCK]

Well said Dave, couldn't agree more!
