Thankyou! India Dog Gift Cards

July 28, 2008 – 5:52 pm

 

I just wanted to say a huge thanks to those of you who purchased the Dogs of India gift cards. Most of them have now been posted and you should have received an automated response from my system to let you know they are on their way.

I’m still just waiting on a couple of checks to come in and then I can let you know the final amount we’ve raised. I can say we have currently raised just over US$180. What an awesome response. Thankyou all so very much. It goes without saying that I couldn’t have done it without you!

Happy 400 comments

July 27, 2008 – 5:15 pm

 

As promised the 400th comment was recently posted. Luckily, Jill from j.c.furtography is a self-confessed weekend internet addict and was the first to comment on Saturday morning. Jill, I’ve included an extra pack of Dogs of India cards in your shipment.

Todays picture, in the usual fashion was chosen from google images. It came from a blog called The Dogs of Pompeii. I’d really love to get to Pompeii one of these days. Preferably before Mt Vesuvius blows again! The next big volcanic eruption is due sometime this century. After that, the remnants of old Pompeii will once again be covered in molten lava, but this time, the neighboring modern day cities will be destroyed along with it.

A Dog A Day continues…every day. Yay!!

July 26, 2008 – 7:58 am

As you may have guessed by the existence of today’s post, I’ve decided to keep posting a dog photo EVERY day, including weekends.  I really appreciated the advice from those of you who left comments on my original post.

Thanks to Mare, VR and Lauren for giving me permission to have a break on weekends. It’s funny you know…I didn’t really feel like I needed a break from blogging I was just more concerned that no-one is reading. I guess all bloggers feel like that sometimes, but thanks for letting me know that it is ok to give myself a break every now and then :)

Thanks to Jill, Emilee, Grace and Leesia who as fellow pet photographers always drop by to let me know someone is reading. The best thing about blogging is meeting such great people (albeit over the internet) and forming little communities. We really should start a pet photographers convention or something. Every other genre of photography seem to have yearly get togethers. Why not us!

And lastly, but certainly not least, thanks to Rebecca and Polly for reminding me why I started this project in the first place. It started as a personal project, where I set out to present 365 days of dog photos from my archives as well as to challenge myself get out into the world and build upon my collection. I can certainly say it has achieved its purpose and also brought so many wonderful people into my life. Sometimes I want to give my blog a hug.

Pieces of me….

July 25, 2008 – 7:30 am

Here’s something that’s a bit of fun on Friday. It’s the Flickr meme. I found this at Ink on my fingers and had to try it for myself. I’m surprised at all the yellows and greens I was drawn to when doing this. I think I’ll have to try this again another day and see what I get.

1. Australia Perth Monkey Mia # dolphins, 2. “La mia casa è il mare e con un fiume no, non la posso cambiare”, 3. Winking driftwood, 4. Are You Looking At Me ???, 5. Josh Hartnett, 6. Caffe splash, 7. Una de las 7 maravillas del Mundo!!!!, 8. Sticky Toffee Pudding, 9. philanthropists, 10. Over the mountains and the sea…..:), 11. The Thinker, 12. Lab puppies

If you want to play too, type your answer to each of the questions below into a Flickr search. Using only the first page, choose your favorite image, then copy and paste each of the URL’s into the mosaic maker (3 columns, 4 rows). Leave a comment if you play, so I can have a peek.

The questions:

1. What is your first name? 
2. What is your favorite food? 
3. What high school did you attend? 
4. What is your favorite color? 
5. Who is your celebrity crush? 
6. Favorite drink? 
7. Dream vacation? 
8. Favorite dessert? 
9. What do you want to be when you grow up? 
10. What do you love most in life? 
11. One word to describe you. 
12. Your Flickr name.

Your chance to get a FREE doggie gift card pack

July 24, 2008 – 7:03 pm

Oops….Once again a milestone has gone quietly unnoticed while all the excitement was happening. 300 comments came and went and this time the lucky winner is Emilee Fuss. Yay Emilee. I’m going to send a Dogs of India gift card pack your way. Just email me with your address and it will be in the mail with the others tomorrow.

Because I’m so late with 300, I’m going to announce 400 comments very, very soon. You know what that means?

If you want a pack of Dogs of India gift cards heading your way, all you have to do is leave a comment and be lucky number 400. It’s as simple as that. 

And in the usual form, I googled ‘Three Hundred Dogs’ for today’s picture. It’s a photo of three hundred dog kennels on a glacier in Alaska where some sled dogs from the US were spending the summer. You can read about it here. I seriously want to go sled dogging. Has anyone been?

Should ‘A Dog A Day’ take a break on the weekends?

July 19, 2008 – 7:50 am

When I first started A Dog A Day in April, I had planned to post a photograph of a dog every day of the year. I’ve recently started tracking the traffic to this blog and haved noticed a drop in visitors on the weekends. I’m considering make ‘A Dog A Day’ a five day a week thing, but I’d really love to know what you, the blog readers think.

For those of you in the USA, has anyone been watching Greatest American Dog? How painful was Elan with Kenji tonight? And she wants to be a Dog Salon Owner! Ouch.
