Linda - this is such a funny shot !

Archie would have shaken the glasses off grabbed the sandwich and run before I could have even got back to the camera . . What a brave and patient Pug Napoleon is .

Always enjoy your Pug shots :- )

This was an advanced editing challenge. You could have cloned out the string. It was the reason why I almost gave you a 2, due to technicals like that that passed by some others who are usually very astute. I gave you a 3 because I liked the tones overall of the wood. However, no need to worry as I once told you. My vote is really of no matter. As you can see, all of your friends made the right comments and votes anyway, and to the right person. Napoleon conquers again, and again, and again.....! Congrats on your top 20!! :)

Thanks for another top 20 !! Whoo Hoo.

This was a bit harder shot then the others as Napoloen has no nose to speak of and the glasses wouldn't stay on him. I ended up tying thread to each of the arms and then tied them on him. You can see the end of the thread sticking off on the right, but under basic rules I couldn't cl,one it out.
As for the peanut butter treat, yes he and the other 5 doggies here got to share it afterwards. They all love peanut butter.

Just too funny and too cute - made me laugh. Tighter arrangement and crop would be better, but I like it.

How on earth did you set up this photo??? The bifocals may be blurring his vision, but his nose is still operational. Any dog I know would not be looking at the camera.
Adorable.

Just because you got him to NOT eat the peanut butter AND stay still with those glasses on long enough for the pic to be in focus you get a 10!

You have now used your Pug in 10 entries including this one to date. This is more becoming a signature on your entries then an anon entry. I started your photo at a 5 vote. You lost one point due to not having bifocals I can easily tell are bifocals, and you lost another point for disrespecting the anon perspective and in hopes of receiving a score based on the popularity of your dog, which you consistantly bring up in forum discussion to point that out to those that aren't aware it is your dog. Your score by me was a 3. It would have been a 2, but I like the color tones of the wood. My helpful comment to you would be to try in the future to be a bit more creative. Not that your dog isn't cute, as I have voted it high in the past when I first saw it, but now it is becoming flagrantly disrespecting the anon perspective.

OH, I wanted to add that it made my son smile as I was making my second pass through the photos. He said "oh my God, a dog eating peanut butter and wearing glasses?" He said - "Mannnnnnnnn" and laughed hard! LOL....
 03/12/2006 09:28:29 PM
lol! I love the look of the pug with glasses. Very dignified. Nice, fun shot.

I bet after eating that, Prof. Pug's doggy licks are something to behold. :)

Edit: Heh, keep coming back to this. Boosting for fun shot factor.
