January 2009 Photo Challenge - Puttin' The Best Paw Forward

Okay since no one else jumped in to open this one I will - what are we doing this month?? :shrug:



Title edited to reflect the foot theme ;)

LOL.....I was just wondering the same thing a little bit earlier but it's getting harder and harder to come up with NEW ideas. :shrug:

We've had a few good cute feet pics lately........what about Macro Feet :shrug:

Doesn't matter to me .....I'm just drawing blanks right now. :o

Kitty feet are always cute :lovestruck: but doggy feet are all cracked and ugly. :D

:laughing: it's called "character" :p

LOL.....just like the lines on my face. :laughing: :rolleyes:

exactly (:laughing: :o) wisdom & character :D :grouphug:

who else has suggestions??????????? :D

I don't know, but I think animal paws/feetsies (whatever you want to call them!) is a cute idea :D I have a couple paw pictures floating around I've never had anywhere to post.

"Starting the year off on the right paw :pawprint:" ~ I like it! ;)

Here's a sample.... (Fagan's foot, Buddy's 'heart', and Palomine using his feeties!)

Feeties are cute :lovestruck:

or what about "new things".... like puppies, kittens, babies, pictures of when your baby was "new" (some "new" things arrive with a few gray hairs :laughing:), new houses, new cars, new toys :D:D. Maybe a bit to cheesie for the "New Year"??

how about "close ups" could be feeties or ears or noses or faces or even whiskers :lovestruck::cloud9:

How about Cerberus checking out Brier's stinky paw? :laughing: That counts as pets/paws/close ups/imaginary friends....which about sums up hazel's world! :laugh:

:laugh: too funny!

Bunduk a la Superkitty pose " I believe I can fly, I believe I can touch the sky" :crazy:

Cute feeties! :lovestruck:

Here my jagger foot pic.

Oooo, Jag has nice, tight, compact paws! Ours have loose hairy ones! :laughing:

Nice feeties, Jag :thumbs up

Cute feeties Jag :cloud9: can I tickle them? :D

Cute feeties Jag :cloud9: can I tickle them? :D

Yes you can if you can reach them :laughing:.

very cute feetsies indeed Jag :lovestruck:

oh and Kr, I love palmoline's paws!!! How adorable is that! So unique too.

Aw thanks... Palio is my little weirdo... everywhere he should have pink skin (ie where the white fur is) he has black, so black pads on all four white paws, black on his white nose, and even black splotches in his mouth! (of course even Fagan has that and he's all orange!:shrug:)

I was going to post this in the general forum because I wanted to ask whether I should be trimming Kuuybi's hairy paws:

http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1024/3164537614_2139f50ce2.jpg

http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1190/3164537666_208dd61f05.jpg

Not sure if this is common... The hair mainly grow between the toes and downward. Sometime it does get messy because kitty litter can stick to it.

So should I trim?

Joeyjoejoe :eek: wow that some fuzzy toes you got there :laughing: I'd be trimming them, try to get even w/the bottom of the foot but don't cut the skin/pads, it will help with traction :pawprint:

Yes, I think you should. At least so the litter doesn't stick. That would not be healthy for him to be ingesting all that litter. :eek:

All the other pics are wonderful!!! I was going to post close ups but it seems like the feel of the thread is more toward the feetsies. I will save the closeups. :D

I'd be on board with feeties....Chase's are still very cute and Rupert has adorable paws! Kailey won't be entering this month though....her paws are getting cut up and irritated by the snow so it could take a while to get it cleared up for her :sad:

I was gonna post this in the pics part but you asked for feeties..

Diamond has Snow ball feeties LOL.

This was after last weeks storm.

I hope this is part of the challenge? lol

I was going to post close ups but it seems like the feel of the thread is more toward the feetsies. I will save the closeups. :D

You could post closeups of the feeties :D


Aww Diamondsmum snowball feeties :lovestruck:

someone mentioned I should post this here .... here Nelly's paws , will try to get better pics later ... and Paddington rendition of "Stop , in the name of love" :D

Frenchy - Nelly feeties :lovestruck: Love the Paddy foot stretch :lovestruck:

Molly is uncomfortable with close examination of her feets, so you can only peek at them while she hides the rest of her feets in her jowls.
http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o222/Robsmom/DSCN0242-1-1.jpg

Caught this shot of Riley by accident today, it cracked me up.

Bearsmom aww Molly's so cute hiding her feeties in her jowls :cloud9:

Teri Riley's all feets! :laugh: (he is quite literally too :laughing:)

Here's Duffy macro feeties :lovestruck: See if you can find all 4 paws in the 1st pic :laughing:

Joeyjoejoe :eek: wow that some fuzzy toes you got there :laughing: I'd be trimming them, try to get even w/the bottom of the foot but don't cut the skin/pads, it will help with traction :pawprint:

Better traction.... could explain why he's not as nimble as his brother... well that and his Buddha belly :D

Yes, I think you should. At least so the litter doesn't stick. That would not be healthy for him to be ingesting all that litter. :eek:

All the other pics are wonderful!!! I was going to post close ups but it seems like the feel of the thread is more toward the feetsies. I will save the closeups. :D

It's only his back paws that have the long hair and I check on a daily basis to see if his paws are clean. It's only happened 2-3 times, but yeah it seems like trimming is the way to go.

Love all the cute twinkle-toes. Corky falls asleep sucking on his stuffie's paw. Does that count?

:laughing: That's too cute :cloud9:

someone mentioned I should post this here .... here Nelly's paws , will try to get better pics later ... and Paddington rendition of "Stop , in the name of love" :D

Yes, someone did. :D :p I love Paddington's pic too!

Aww look at all the cute furry:lovestruck: feets.

On the way home from the breeders house. Our very first day together :):)

Nice to see Sam's foot included :cloud9:

Nice to see Sam's foot included :cloud9:

Tried getting Keesha's too but she kept hiding them under her.

HAHA the radio's playing "Footloose" :laugh: :thumbs up

Ha! That is funny!!

and what beast made the print rick??

Footyprints can look like this . . . . . . although that almost looks like a two-footed animal!!!

http://www.goldentales.ca/DSC_3723-edit1.jpg

The first picture with Keeper looked like something bigger, an elk or perhaps a wolf. . . . . we did see a wolf in the distance one time on this lake. In the picture immediately above, the tracks are fairly small and narrow. Probably a deer. The effect is a combination of mush to start, then freezing weather and wind cleaning everything else off.

More foots below . . . . . Abby on a melting stream. The stream was frozen to the bottom and was therefore melting from the top down, with water gushing around her feet as it flowed towards the lake.
