Caption this: It’s (not really) my 500th post!

Hard to believe, but today marks my 500th post on the blog.  Here’s how Bella reacted when I told her the big news…

She’s so enthusiastic.  Now it’s your turn to let slip the dogs of creativity.  (I realize that doesn’t make sense… but let’s just pretend it did.  Not every post can be full of lyrical genius or flights of Seussian fancy.)  Anyway, it’s time to caption that Bellaface… hit me with your best shot!

Update (3/9/12): For reasons I will explain in today’s post… this wasn’t my 500th post after all.  (I even updated the post title to reflect my error.) So, um… thanks for the congratulations!  I’m sorry for my poor math skills and inability to understand my Blogger dashboard.  No wonder Bella seemed so bored.

Very superstitious, writing’s on the wall…

Just in case, Bella said “rabbit, rabbit” this morning.

I’ll admit, I can be superstitious at times.  I knock on wood, toss salt over my shoulder, and wonder if someone’s talking about me when my ears are burning.  On the other hand, I have no problem with Friday the 13th and I think black cats are adorable.
Are you superstitious?

Dogs of a feather flock together

I’m back again with more Daily Dog Challenge photos.  It’s so fun to come up with photos that respond to the daily prompts.

Since I’ve been engaging in plenty of navel gazing this week, today’s photos follow on that theme. Although you won’t find any pictures of navels (if I’m being honest, I find bellybuttons gross – no offense, Koly), today’s photos are inspired by the reflective mood that happens as we transition from one year to the next.

Up first, the photo below was in response to the prompt: “Take a photo that signifies a great memory you have with your dog this year.”

The photo in the photo (how meta) is actually from several years ago. However, I have to admit that giving Bella a bath has resulted in some of my favorite memories over the years. I know she’s not a big fan, but she’s always such a goofball once it’s over that I just have to smile.

The next prompt: “As we get ready to celebrate the New Year, show us your dog being a party animal!”

Bet Bella wishes I hadn’t picked up this boa to wear to our Clue-themed New Year’s Eve party!

You can see all of the photos submitted as part of the DDC here.  Enjoy!

The eyes (and ears) have it

You may remember that I mentioned I’m part of the Daily Dog Challenge group on Flickr.  There’s a new prompt each day for inspiration.  I thought I’d share a few recent shots I’ve posted for the various daily challenges in December.

Up first, the photo below was in response to the prompt: “Make a photograph with your dog that captures your idea of beauty today.”

That one was easy – who could resist those eyes?

After the jump, find more photos for your viewing pleasure…

Another prompt from the holiday season: “However you and your dog choose to celebrate today, share it with us, and enjoy the day!”

Roscoe chose to celebrate with a nice nap.

This next one is a bit more abstract.  The prompt: Take a high contrast photo of your dog today! Whether you use a background or some kind of photo enhancement, remember to have fun with it!”

I don’t think I’ll ever tire of taking photos of Bella’s ear.  Is that weird?

I have a few more from December to share… but I’ll save those for next week’s Wordless Wednesday.  Have to keep you wanting more, right?
