June 2012 - Only in <insert place you live here>

Post by icvanstra »

The theme for June 2012 is a little different. Take a photo with a theme of "Only in Indiana" (for me) or "Only in Texas" (for Judith) or "Only in Friesland" (for Jan).

...

The usual rules:
1) please submit one photo
2) you must have rights to the photo that you submit
3) please put the dog's name in your post
4) contest will be open until the around the end of the month ... voting will begin sometime after that.

Going to stress rule #3! :stickman:

Tell us about yourself: I adopted a Dutch Shepherd mix (without knowing what she was) from the SPCA here in Victoria BC and am now trying to learn everything I can about this breed. My husband and I work from home most of the time so I thought it was time to get a puppy! We have his 2 boys here half the time and we wanted a nice family dog.

Sugar looks like a miniature Dutch Shepherd with floppy ears, and has every ounce of DS traits in her little body!

I hope to learn from other DS owners and share doggy experiences.

Marjolein,

Doesn't have to be with a sign... The place I'm thinking about for this months photo is over a mile long and very distinctive to the city.

ahhh, so it just has to be a very "typical" for the region kinda place... I could go and find a beergarten with bratwurst and go there with my dogs, they'll have a ball!! :lol:

Well...my city is known for tornadoes. Definitely not doing that! I'll be thinking of something though! Everyplace that pops into my head doesn't allow dogs.
