Actually not a fish.



Summer is the time to hang out with your friends.


Enjoy a cold treat.


Maybe take a run through the sprinkler.


Whether they are parked in front of the A/C or hitting the beach every day everyone has something they love about summer. This month I want to see all the ways your pets enjoy the season. If the season is a bit different in your part of the world, that's ok too! :justpost:


Theme: Summer
Contest Period: August 3-28
Voting Period: August 28-31
Winner gets a donation to the charity of their choice!


:siren: Please pay attention to the rules! There are only 5 of them! It's not that hard! :siren:

Rules:
  • Post photos or GIFs that fit the monthly theme. Be creative! Good photography not required. Basic photoshop to adjust levels etc is ok, no adding things though. Some filters such as turning an image black and white are fine, please refrain from going full instagram though.
  • You may post up to three images per theme (can be different pets). Please label them clearly as entries.
  • Any image submitted must have been taken/made during the duration of the contest. It doesn't have to be your pet, but you have to take the picture.
  • Please vote for one entry only per month and don’t vote for your own images!
  • Pets are considered any animal that lives in captivity and regularly interacts with people

There are some really fantastic photographers participating in these contests and I love it! For people who are feeling a little intimidated here are some links with pointers, but don't get scared off. Any level of photographic quality is fine!

We are healthy only to the extent that our ideas are humane.

It is summer. It is also Cohen's birthday. She is now 5. Happy birthday, crazyface.

It was a ridiculously close contest this month between the amazing doggle shot and the birthday bonanza there but we have a winner!

The birthday girl Cohen and A Life Less!



I still need to come up with a theme for this month so I'm open to suggestions. If you guys are sick of this that's ok too!

I had a thought for a theme - what about "jobs" ? I've seen the cute/funny pics of other people on the internet who have guinea pigs that water the flowers and take out the trash, and dogs that do the dishes and stuff. What about our own pets? What do they do??
