I need cute/unusual pics of your pets!!

Hey all. There is a contest through my school with the Best Friends Animal Santuary. It is one of the largest no-kill shelters in the U.S., and it's in Utah. It's an art/poetry/sculpture/etc. contest, and the first prize is $250. The theme is "Honoring the Animals" and promoting compassion and love for animals. It can be wildlife or pets. Anyway, what I need from you is pics of your pets. I want unusual pics...maybe of pets licking eachother, laying by eachother, funny pics, good facial expressions, etc. I'm best at dogs and cats, so stick to them lol. If I use your photo to paint my picture, I will not give you the painting, but I will scan and print out a very good quality which could be framed. Please note though, this is not a portrait, I just want the expression of the animal, so it might not look exactly like your pet. Please just help me out and post your favorite pics, I need ideas here! It's going to be a large acrylic painting, and it's due at the end of this month, so I need to get to work fast!~~Amy :)

Here's a couple of pics that I like.. some have cute facial expressions and others are cute poses. They're not the greatest pics in the world but they may give you an idea. Good luck :)

This is my favorite picture of Daisy, sorry it is so big!

Please let us know what you decide to use!

What fun pictures!I love Daisy howling, and the "two dogs being happy together" of Lolly and Reese are great, too!

Here's one that I immediately thought of donating to your project, although I'm kinda reluctant to post it on the internet--you can probably guess why....Those are my panties Eli's playing with when he was about 10 weeks old! :eek:

Oh my gosh!!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much for that picture, kobieeli!!!! This is the first time in the past two days that I've been able to smile through my tears, and even actually laugh. That is priceless.

These pictures are all priceless and able to bring quite a few of some much needed :D s.

All the pictures are priceless. I can relate to the panties picture. Dusty liked doing that too!

Graham, thanks for the laugh!!!! You look like you are singing and really getting into it. I wish I was there when this picture was taken.

This is a great topic. These pictures are too hilarious! I especially love the one of Perry. :)

Sorry these are a little big:

Awww, I love Chewey. There's something so special about him, I can see it even through the pictures. He's brought tears to my eyes. What a beautiful boy.

Thanks everyone for all of your cute cute cute pics! I'm still looking at everyone's websites, etc. for pics. I have a weird idea. Have like 3-4 dogs, and 2-3 cats kind of sitting/laying together in a line. Maybe one of them wearing a bandana, another w/ a ball in it's mouth. Just kind of a fun, summer type pic. Calling it "The Gang" or something. I don't know, I go through lots of ideas lol. Is this a good idea?

That sounds like a great idea! Everyone's pictures are so great, how could you possibly choose just one?

Hey everyone! I loved your picture of Eli. Is he an Aussie? You have probably answered that before but I havent been on for about a week. Here's a picture of my Aussie, Bandit when he was ab out 10 weeks, also. He is obviously "trying to fly". Sorry its not very clear... http://wsphotofews.excite.com/031/Gp/Hc/wN/Zz85006.jpg

Hi BandiTank...Yes, Eli's a black tri Aussie! (You could no doubt tell from that mischievous, defiant smirk he has in the "panties pic.") He turned one year old last month and is our frisbee dog extraordinaire. He's our first Aussie and we love him to pieces!

Your Bandit was an absolutely gorgeous blue merle, and that airborne photo is fabulous! (I've tried to get similar action pics of Eli, but they're all just blurs.) Aren't Aussies amazing? Would you consider another one someday to replace your beloved Bandit?

I'd recomend looking at old dog of the days here at petoftheday.com . You have about 4000 to chose from, and some of them are very cute and creative!!!!!!!!!
Also, I don't know how to get the link, but here is a website that has some VERY creative (and adorable) pics. Thier Nova Scotia Duck Tollling Retrievers. Just type this is where you'd normally type in a website :

I call this one *I've got my eye on you*. Actually it's me she has her eye on, but I cropped me out.

Rachel, Hannah needs to be a model. She's beautiful :) And Tucker could be one too. They both look so cuddly.

Yes, we have considered getting another Aussie. Anytime we are at the Crossville Flea Market in the animal section, we always check to see if they have any Aussies. Sometimes we go to my grandparents' neighbor's house because they are licensed Aussie breeders, but anytime we go they either have homes for all the pups for atleast a year or don't have any at the time. We know 3 people who have female Aussies whom they are going to breed (we were going to breed Bandit to them once he got old enough), the first litter that comes we are going to probably going to take on of those pups. Australian shepherds are wonderful dogs. I was at a friend's house and they ahd 2 blue heelers, I was saying that my grandparent's have 2 red heelers and that I have an Aussie and their only reply was, "We used to have Aussies, those are about the most stupidest dogs we hve ever had," that made me SO mad. My only thought was (aside from the fact that they obviously didn't know what they were talking about) stupidest isn't a word, bright one. I was very mad. Well, here are some pics I just thought I would share.
Here is a picture of my grandma's kitten "asking for a death wish" from his aunt

The previous kitten's sister, she was covered in gravy at the time, hence the name "Gravy"

I just love this picture of Bandit "kissing" his pal, Buck
http://wsphotofews.excite.com/028/24/O2/OY/U599698.jpg
I just thought that I'd show this pic of Peaches play with his Beanie pal, Spike. Every time I put Peaches on my bed Spike has to be there, too, Peaches loves "his baby". Peaches won't stop crying until His Spike is there with him.
