ok i took new pictures of those things WITH the pets:rolleyes:

Awesome! :)

Prin, it looks like you scared the bejeezes out of Jemma in the first pic. :D

Jiorji, I love your pics....the colours are awesome. :thumbs up

Alright, here's Jesse all decked out for Halloween -- pumpkin and all! (Though the second one she thought the pumpkin would be better as a chew toy :o )

these pics are great........lol jesse's mommy.......did the pumpkin survive.
maybe this thread should have been called pumpkin survivor:D

Yes it did. :o I had a cookie in my hand while I was snapping all the pictures and she got tired of waiting for it so she grabbed the pumpkin with the look, give me the cookie or the pumpkin gets it. Needless to say, she won that battle. :D

lol love the Jesse pics. She always makes me laugh.:D

I love how her eyes go in different directions too- adds to the crazy pumpkin-eater look.:D

Wow! I love both pictures, but the second one made me laugh:D

Great pics of Jesse. She is sooo funny. :D

Since i was voted off my own thread(i'm not bitter though).......lol.
pay backs will be atleast 10 pics.......two of each furry:D ..........any chance i can get to post pics.
here are the first two....george my 14 yr old .
dad i'm camera shy

heheh I think wdawson went to get a bigger pumpkin than Prin as revenge :evil:

hehe
George is very cute :love:

no its the same size........her dogs are bigger........:D

see bigger doggy........makes pumpkin look small ...right?
this makes 4 of 10 pics

gosh you're awfully slow posting ........are you chasing everybody around the house with pumpkins??:D

and no those are 2 different pumpkins :rolleyes: you can't fool me :cat:

dam cats are hard to get:D i'll get them when they sleep..ha ha ha

Hee hee love the second one. She looks so irritated.:D

he he he they all hate me right now........pumpkin and camera in hand....they want sleep.

Well, they don't have to be awake.:D

Hee hee....the pumpkin looks like it's attached to Beathoven. :D

Yeah, you should really get that checked out by the vet.:D

guess the vet lied about his neuter:D

guess the vet lied about his neuter:D


:eek: LOL too funny

guess the vet lied about his neuter:D


Nah....there isn't any "bits" there. It looks more like the vet mistakenly attached a horse's appendage. :eek:

lol Frankenhoven.:D

Hey! Don't change the subject! Where are the rest of these pets and pumpkins pics?! C'mon people! :D

i'm not done yet.....3 cats to get from under the couch and i think i'm good to go......pumpkin and camera close by.........here kitty kitty kitty:D

Suggestion ? I like captions. JMs' "Gimme the cookie or the pumpkin gets it" made laugh out loud. I think they add to the contest fun!

Wayne, are you still chasing the cats? :D

you know PROFESSIONALS know how to work with their models at photo shoots. hehe

do his cats not sleep??:confused:

I think all three cats must have attacked him when he was trying to get them out from under the couch and now he's tending his wounds. :D

These pics are making me competitive and I'm thinking my first pics are pretty crap and I'm gonna have to do better (I only took those to be funny in the original challenge thread...).

Is it time to vote now? :D I vote for George to stay :thumbs up

Is it time to vote now? :D I vote for George to stay :thumbs up

Ah Frenchy ! What were you doing up at 3:40 AM ??? Carving a pumpkin ? Or does it have to do with your new babies ??? :p

haa.....two down one to go.and not too many scratches:D

here is felix

and the next furry is tiggy,one more furry and i'm done:D promise.
last one will be the hard one,she is a cranky one:eek:

and finally the ever elusive ozzie....i'm done now:D ......i need more pets:rolleyes:

That last one of Ozzy is classic Halloween, black cat and orange pumpkin.

Ah Frenchy ! What were you doing up at 3:40 AM ??? Carving a pumpkin ? Or does it have to do with your new babies ??? :p
Not at all,what are you talking about?:rolleyes: I would win for sure,2 goldens,1 cat and 3 kittens with a pumpkin,you guys are so lucky my camera is dead! :cat: :dog:

nice excuse frenchy :D

Who is "George"?

Great pics! Very hallowe'eny.:D

George is wdawson's 14 year old.

So, here's a question -- what are the rules with entries? How many pictures can we submit per pet? Are there multiple entries? Some of us (won't mention names :D ) have ten entries right now......:evil:

I think it's unlimited. Quantity doesn't ensure quality.:D (unless you're wdawson ;)).

Thanks, now I know who George is.:o

I love George. He's such a sweetie. (Not trying to take any of the light away from Beethoven because he is just as beautiful!)

These are all great pictures. I can't wait to see more!

george is my 14yr old.


i need to look at the thread.....someone has 10 pics :eek: ......:D

post as many as you can take.........i would take more ,but,i ran out of pets:D

Here are mine!! Shamus and Shelby with their own pumpkin which was grown in my parents garden. The cats wouldn't pose with it.:rolleyes:
1871018711

those are great......love the little guy standing on the pumpkin....(is that shamus)....he's gonna be a big boy

ou la la ! That is nice survivor pics Trippincherri.:thumbs up

How did you get them both to pose on each side of the pumpkin? :D

Yes that is Shamus lol.
And amazingly he posed like that all on his own, after trying to "arrange"Shelby around the pumpkin for what seemed like hours (maybe 2 minutes) Shamus just plunked his butt down beside it and waited for her to get organized.He loves his pic being taken.

Very cute.

*runs off to take better pumpkin pics*

Umm...so does all the compliments mean I'm not voted out? Or do we wait till the end of this week for the voting, I'm confused lol. :D
And I just realised my camera was set to take a certain size of pic, hence the fuzziness of the ones I posted. Darn it!!
I'll be back with better clearer ones.
Back to rearranging the mutts around the pumpkin I go.

I think just posting a pic makes you a survivor.:D

Here's my second attempt...

http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h213/Princi9009/Jemma%20and%20Boo%20Aug%20Sep%20Oct%202006/IMG_3596.jpg

Mmm... smells good....
http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h213/Princi9009/Jemma%20and%20Boo%20Aug%20Sep%20Oct%202006/IMG_3597.jpg

Has this shot been done already? :o
http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h213/Princi9009/Jemma%20and%20Boo%20Aug%20Sep%20Oct%202006/IMG_3600.jpg

What about Hallowe'en cadavers?
http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h213/Princi9009/Jemma%20and%20Boo%20Aug%20Sep%20Oct%202006/IMG_3604.jpg

Jemma's turn...


What about a Jemma Evil Eye? Is that Hallowe'eny enough?
http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h213/Princi9009/Jemma%20and%20Boo%20Aug%20Sep%20Oct%202006/IMG_3608.jpg

What? I get a cookie? (Yes, you do and it's right beside you on the pumpkin :D).
http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h213/Princi9009/Jemma%20and%20Boo%20Aug%20Sep%20Oct%202006/IMG_3609.jpg

Oh! There it is!!
http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h213/Princi9009/Jemma%20and%20Boo%20Aug%20Sep%20Oct%202006/IMG_3610.jpg

:D

tee hee I just noticed the gradual disappearance of the stem of the pumpkin.:crazy:

i think Prin's trying to get bonus points on this challenge.

i like the evil eye. So typical hehe

I don't know if she was preparing for the flash or what, but she just kept looking at me like that till I said the C word..:D

Are you and Wayne trying to get bonus points for posting the most pics? :D

hee hee, no I'm trying to win by posting quantity in hopes of there being quality somewhere in there..

Hey, weren't you supposed to give us a description of your doggies with a pumpkin in the absence of camera access?;)

Ummm, yeah....but you know that I'm not very good with putting my thoughts into words. :o

It's the effort that counts.:D

Prin, I love Jemma and Boo. The baleful Halloween eyes are great! And I don't see a cone on Boo--does that mean he came to terms with his licking issues? We have a dog in a cone (Lil Belle)--been bopping us in the legs all week and none of us can wait till she gets it off!

Wish I had a pumpkin! Would two small oranged squashes count?:)

hehe so cute... i need to get some more photos of the furbabies for all to see (I also need to have an unveiling of Maggie, which is black and moe is orage, so im all set for halloween)

Great pics Prin. Love the close up sad face with the pumpkin, very good.
I love how they have that "Don't you have anything better to do then bother me?" look they give, my dogs do it too.
Keep em coming!!!
And yes squash or gourds would be a suitable stand in for a pumpkin I think.

Hey, weren't you supposed to give us a description of your doggies with a pumpkin in the absence of camera access?;)
Well,here you have Bailey,Sam and Monsieur le chat with the pumpkin they spend all night carving ....... hoooo,haaaaa,beautiful! :dog: :cat:

this is pumpkinlove..............and sneaky pumpkin

then there is........." what pumpkin?" and kill the pumpkin (sry my flash died0

Love the last one. The darkness makes them more eerie.:)

Here is a couple of Tucker and our pumpkin. One is nice the other one looks like a devil dog:evil:

finally got the dog one..........and i thinks its too funny. think i will title it " yuck they eat this &*@% !!!!

might as well taste another one..........

tee hee I love this thread! :)

And yes squash or gourds would be a suitable stand in for a pumpkin I think.

Sigh...not to be. It was ugly...squash bits all over the floor. I don't think it suffered,though. Guess I'll be waiting for the next challenge.

However, let me share this one of our sweet boy, Evan, now departed and frolicking in the rainbow woods. He was so sweet that stray cats would come up to him on our walks through the city and rub on his legs! However, I caught him in a yawn one day and, well...speaking of devil dogs, doggy lover:

Prin, I have to say, you have a very nice specimen of a pumpkin. Where did you find that little guy? Ignoring the patch where it sat in the ground to grow, it is very symmetrical, shiny, well proportioned, and everything. I'm truly impressed.

I got him at IGA for $1.49. :D
(We have a LOT of pumpkin farmers up here)

prin i love the evil eyes :D
hazelrunpack and doggie lover.....those are great evil doggy teeth :eek:

hmm pumpkins are cheap here also.....wonder what a 100lb one costs.....lol :D

Cool pics everyone. Did you see mine :D You guys are lucky,just bought a dg cam (el cheapo) and I have the pumpkin. Took the pictures,the dawm thing won't download :mad: So i have to wait for a friend to come and help me .... but you just wait, I'll be back....:evil: You guys will be screaming nooooooo no more goldens please !

no excuse now frenchy.........bring on the goldens:D

Great pictures everyone!!! I can't wait to see more!:crazy:

Lissa......and yours are ?:rolleyes:

I love all the pics everyone. :thumbs up

Keep them coming......even Frenchy's. :D

lol yeah, that description rocked.:D

Where are the Dodger and Minnow and pumpkin pics, Lissa?

And who else?

Mafiaprincess' Cider and Pumpkin pics...
Hmm...

ooo Rick C's Abby and Keeper with pumpkins (and majestic scenery...)...

Chico's kitties with pumpkins...

Techno's bears with pumpkins...

hmmm...

Yep, still many, many more pics with pumpkins to come, I hope.

yeah...a lot of slacking off in this challenge

I wish I could but my digital camera is BROKEN!!! But I am enjoying everyone else's pictures and need to see more!!!!! I love that so many cats are getting involved!:love:

Can someone lend me a pumpkin? My mom only has a like plug in jack o lanter that's kinda sketch... lol..

waaaaaaaaaah! we have no pumpkins... might have to drag the beanies to the fruitstore next door and sit them in front of their display, LOL! :D

love all the pix though :thumbs up

This one is from last year....but there doesn't seem to be any official rules yet. are there?

(Plus I still don't have a digital camera - but that will change real soon - maybe before halloween:fingerscr )

Not a pumpkin.. but halloweenish..

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y134/Mafia_Princess/IMG_0252.jpg

Let's not critique the jack o lantern...
See I posted pics, lol.

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y134/Mafia_Princess/IMG_0253.jpg

So now the question is: how did you know a year ago you'd need a picture of your beautiful kitty with a pumpkin?! :D Gol dang it--you're psychic, aren't you?!

Mafiaprincess, the ghost is a great idea! I think Cider likes that better than her Halloween tutu! :) It's her baby!

Oh ya success!! I got one kitty to pose with the pumpkin. And she even did it all on her own, isn't she clever?
And of course one more of Shamus climbing on to the pumpkin.1874318744

Hazel, it's my mom's halloween door decoration, lol. It took a cookie in one hand to get her to stop tryign to eat it so I could snap a pic.

It's kinda sweet though :D

Great pics everyone....keep them coming. :D

Well, people still have a couple of weeks before the Nov 1 @ 11:59PM deadline.;)

This pic was no trouble at all. :D

Yeah, that's the thing Martha Stewart was supposed to participate in last year but didn't show up because they wouldn't let her cross the border or something.

Rainbow, you never said you had a white froo froo doggy.;)

Who?! Someone we know? Is that Buster? Doesn't look as happy as Buster.. :shrug:

Yeah, he's not as boo-tiful either. :D I know...that was sick but I'm just trying to bump up this thread. :D

He looks kinda angry.
Like:
"What. am. I. doing. in. a. PUMPKINPATCH! I said I wanted COOKIES!" :mad:

(thanks to techno for the writing style, to get my point across better.:D)

Woo Hoo, pictures! We need more! :D

You all just wait until later, I've got more pumpkin pictures to post as soon as honey comes home and dumps the camera!

I am getting a pumpkin tomorrow, so by the weekend, I should have some pics ready :D

Be afraid, be very afraid....

These two are my favorites (Hey, why didn't the others show?)

I like the last one...."Mommy are we finished yet?" :D

I like "pumpkin 3".:D :thumbs up

Yep-pumpkin3 is the winner!:D

I like the second one,where she has her face between the 2 pumpkins...like , ok I will be cute but let's get it over with mommy !

Yep, my little diva got lots of cookies for being such a good supermodel. :D

Ebony wondering what I am trying to do, and what is this orange thing next to me?!:D

Very cute! :)

Ok I know I'm late but I wanna play too.

a close up of the pumpkin...

Very cool. :D :thumbs up :thumbs up

Remember, Nov 1st at 11:59PM is the deadline.;)

ooo last day.....:dog: :cat: :)

I wasn't impressed with my doggies posing with a pumpkin....they were not feeling co-operative at all. I did manage to get some pics, but I wanted to get better:o

So here is what I got...

lol that last one is hilarious. They look so sad and grumpy.:D :thumbs up

Yeah...Hunter is like "Why do I have to do this......"

well that was a fun thread........great pics everyone......looking at the pics makes me think about what we put our pets through for our enjoyment :D , i think they really do love the attention........even if they look grumpy while doing it :D

So do we pick a winner or just say everybody's a winner for participating? :D

i say we all win.....http://bestsmileys.com/clapping/1.gif

Okay, so I'm late. We just took this yesterday afternoon, then were busy with Halloween-ing. Maggie doesn't look too thrilled, but she was a good sport. Bo the cat wouldn't even come over!

hee hee Love the devil horns.:D

he looks like a little devil:D

I'm late but I missed this whole thread and Rocky really wanted to make an appearance...:angel:


And Phil did too...

Great pics! :)

Great pics and I agree everyone was a winner. :D

Finally dumped the carved pumpkins!

OMG those are amazing! The one on the left? Crazy good.:eek:

gas for trip to the farm to pick up pumpkin - $4.00
kids fighting over which pumpkin - $2.69 (tylenol)
pumpkin - $1.00 ( it was tiny)
getting our private pumpkin carver - priceless

So does that qualify for Pets in Hats, too? :D

Cpietra....good pics and certainly the most natural ones of them all. :thumbs up

Finally dumped the carved pumpkins!


cool! I took one of those pics too!

http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b5/MartiniGirl18/4c82.jpg

Crazy! How do you guys do those? (I'm amazed)

Whoa, MartiniGIrl-those are awesomely spooky! I woulda skipped your house for sure! :eek:

Crazy! How do you guys do those? (I'm amazed)

Honey downloaded a bunch of patterns. :evil:

Honey downloaded a bunch of patterns. :evil:

Are the patterns carved all the way through or are some of them just carved thin enough to let the light through? I can't tell from the pics...but it looks like some of the pattern would fall off or be awfully weak if it were carved all the way through? :confused:

They are carved the whole way through.

They are carved the whole way through.

Hmmm...I'm not that talented. The knife always slips and I end up with one super big triangle eye and one teeny little triangle eye... (can you tell, since I still cut triangle eyes, that I'm not very handy with the pumpkin carving? :D )

We have those pumpkin carving knives and scoopers that do the job really well. They have little "saws" that cut really good. We got a bunch of them for about 75 cents first couple of days after Halloween. (I usually stock up on them because I either break them or lose them).

I posted this link in the off topic forum just before Halloween:

http://www.cyberhaunt.com/site/fun/carving/

ok, I am waaay too late for pumpkins but I found this photo on my camera when I went looking for our Christmas photos!

lol better late than never.:D
