Eric (4Labs) has chosen an "open" theme. He wants to see your all-time favorite photo. Eric says, "I want to see everyone's FAVORITE PHOTO. Dog, non dog, anything goes." (Well, almost everything! Let's keep it clean! ;) )

These should be pictures that YOU actually took!

Things to remember:
*Only one entry per member -- no series of photos
*No altering of photos -- thought balloons or borders (cropping is OK)
*The winner must have at least 100 posts
*Try to remember to uncheck the box so your signature doesn't snow.
Otherwise, I will periodically go through and remove them.
*Any responses that are not entries, but only comments will also be
removed to keep the contest easier to view for voting purposes.

The winner will choose the theme for April and also get their choice of a heavy-duty plastic buckle collar from one of our sponsors: www.3dirtydawgz.com (http://www.3dirtydawgz.com).

I'll close the contest around the 27th of March for voting -- so let's see your FAVORITE PHOTO!! :D

ok, its got to be this one i took recently... it was a day out at the park - and i'll tell ya what, it was hard work getting everyone to keep still for this shot! LOL!

This day took my breath away - we were so bummed because we hadn't seen the beautiful mountains of Switzerland while we were here. But we took the tram anyhow, and through the clouds we went, and saw this:

oh my Lord there is some fierce competition already!
I have one all time favourite but not allowed to publish my niece on the internet which is fair enough.
Good Luck to all here's my second favourite, not as good as the previous submissions but I'll post it anyway

This was Bosco's first camping trip! He loved swimming in the lake and than afterwards he would roll in the sand...LOL (this is one of my favorite pictures of him)

Great pics everyone. For those of you posting thre great wedding pics. My intention was for you to post your favorite pictures that you actually took. I guess I wasn't clear to Barb..

OK, I did misunderstand, sorry, Eric!! I've gone back and deleted all of the photos taken by someone else, so everyone who posted wedding or other pics you yourself didn't take, please post a different favorite photo.

Thanks, and sorry for the misunderstanding! :confused:

Dan helping me with chores: Walk the dog (check), now I need to teach him to take out the trash without eating it.

Azaleas in Woodward Park in Tulsa, OK. I go there every year to take pictures, and I have my daughters pose among the tulips and azaleas. The bushes are taller than I am! Woodward Park is an incredibly beautiful place in the spring.... I can't wait to see it again!

This is tough, I'm torn between what pic to post. I guess this one:

5 Generations of Women - from the top (then r-l): Me, my daughter Kristina, her daughter Isabella, my grandmother and my mom - so the whole pic is mother-daughter all the way down to Belle. It was taken in April 2004, a couple of weeks before my gram turned 96. She passed away in Aug. 2004.

I have way too many to name a favorite: but this is definitely one of them. It's "Flying Finn" at about 9 weeks old. I will never know how I caught this picture of him airborne...but it was a moment in time: and I love it!! Really wonderful pix by everyone--by the way!!! "Googeous" as Finn would say!
