Wkly Photo Challenge 2/18- Wild Animals

[littlelion]

Post your photo here!

This weeks' theme: WILD ANIMALS! Have a crazy pet? Live by an awesome zoo? Or perhaps, like me, you have a squirrel that likes to leave half eaten pastries at your door? Interpret the theme as you want.

Detailed rules and disclaimers below.
*********************************************************************************************

And the rules as a reminder, and for the new folks that would like to play:

1. The photo you post must have been taken within the challenge week (usually Thursday - Wednesday). Basically after the Theme is announced.

2. The photo must have been taken by YOU.

3. Fair warning: If you ignore rules 1 & 2, you will get flamed and disqualified. It's super serious.

4. The winner will be decided by how many "Love Its" they receive for their photo. Challenge closes next Wednesday night (winner to be declared around midnight EDT).

5. Each week's winner will decide the theme for the next week and so on. No prize or badge for winning.

6. If you are uncomfortable with any challenge you can sit it out.

Lol! She did say to interpret it as we wanted.... I feel like next week we will have a lot of pictures of crazy pets and random squirrels. Lol. Maybe some birds?

nuggetrn,kayladawn91, Aw man, the only replies I get and you have no pics. The challenge was announced last week on Thursday 02/18.  Today is the post your picture day and vote.  

The board has been busy so I hope people did see the announcement and we get some pics. 

[ladytiffany24]

littlelion, I saw the announcement last week but haven't taken a picture yet. If I take a picture today, since it is still technically within the week, can I still post?

How about a wild party animal? My mom threw a party for the dogs to celebrate their birthdays this past week. Sorry it's a little blurry. I wanted to crop out my moms face. Lol.

Here's a wild pug attacking her prey (it's blurry because she so fast, and the ball is underneath her because she's not very coordinated and she tripped over it):

lgraceh Lol your mom must really love those dogs!

Haha. We do love our dogs. I was dying. She was watching our 2 while we were on vacation this past week. She had it all planned when we got there. She bought the little dog friendly doughnuts, and made them all plain hamburgers. One of ours and one of hers both have birthdays this month, so it was a combo birthday party sleepover. Haha!

So I assume the challenge closes tonight at midnight? I just told my dog to do something really cute today so we could play so we'll see how well he does

Yes, 12 EDT. So, that's when I'll look to see who has the most LT's. The sooner you post the picture the more LT's you're able to get!

If I fits, I sits


I think this is from this week.

He is!!

Love!!!!!! They're so cute when they're puppies! I had one growing up and my parent's neighbor have a couple now. They're my favorite.

Well boo. I never saw the challenge posted and I was waiting for it too. Was it a separate thread?

[kayladawn91]

lgraceh We celebrate dog birthdays too. Today is my oldest dog's 3rd birthday. I usually bake them cupcakes, put a silly hat on them, and take a picture.

Yes it was. Maybe you have time later tonight. Good place to AW your pets!

[RajahMD]

For once I haven't taken a photo of my pets recently.

Hopefully none of them will do something fun tonight.

I think we used to do it all in one thread. Announce the photo challenge, then have people post in that thread, then you can bump that thread when the challenge is closing to remind people to post pictures and vote. Nevermind, I see that we used to do separate threads for announcing and posting. But I think it might be helpful to do it in one thread in the future?

I never saw the challenge thread posted last week and probably won't be able to get a picture today!

So it's not the best quality because I had to zoom in to get it (not getting near the crazy aggressive geese) but here ya go! These things hang out all around our parking lot at work. And shit all over the place to the point where it's a game of hop scotch trying to avoid it.

Edited for formatting.

So our neighbors have a compost pile out back that my dog frequents. This weekend he found a whole Salisbury Steak and would. not. let. it. go. (pic # 1) So he proceeded to eat the entire thing & got a tummy ache. (pic # 2).

That's about as wild as it gets over here...
*poof*
