Wistful

There’s something about dogs looking out of windows. I always wonder what it is they are thinking. Are they waiting for their humans to return or simply watching the world go by?

Win a FREE book from A Dog A Day

Today, A Dog A Day has reached a milestone. It’s been six months since the first post on this blog and of course we need to celebrate in style. To commemorate half a year of daily dog photos, I’m putting together a book of favourites. It will probably be called something clever and witty like ‘The best of A Dog A Day-  2008′ unless someone can suggest something better. I hope to have the books on sale by the end of October and of course, all proceeds will go to charity. So what next?

Well, I need your help! Each person who provides input to this book will go into the draw to win a copy. And it’s oh so easy to help. Leave a comment with the answers to the following questions and you get two entries into the draw. If you are shy, you can email me with your answers and you’ll get one entry into the draw.

1. I need help selecting the best images featured on this blog from 6 April 2008 - 6 Oct 2008. Please let me know your FIVE favourite images on this blog from the last 6 months. You might have to go back through the archives to refresh your memory.

2. Suggest a dog related charity who would be worthy recipients of the proceeds from this project.

3. (desirable) Suggest a catchy name for the book.

And that’s it! Easy huh? I’m accepting input until 7pm PST Monday 12 Oct 08 (12pm AEDT 13 Oct 08). I will announce the winner of a FREE book on the following day.

Temple Dog and Saddhu

Honestly, I think some of the dogs in India lived in the most fantastic places. Doesn’t this photo conjure up wonderful imaginings? It does for me, and I was there!

Puppy Petting in St. Kilda

This photo, as well as yesterday’s, were both taken at a street market in St. Kilda, a suburb of Melbourne, Australia. 

I’m happy to say that a good hike up Cowles Mountain was just what I needed yesterday. I slept 12 hours since yesterday afternoon. Zoe, who is getting on in years, slept for about 20!

I know I’ve said it before, but I seriously think Winery Dogs have it all.

Sorry I’ve been a little ‘absent’ lately. I’ve been doing some thinking. Lot’s of thinking. So much, that I think my brain might explode. Hopefully I’ll get my thoughts into some sort of order over the weekend and I might share them with you all next week. I hope everyone has a great weekend.
