January 29th marks the start of the Year of the Dog in the Chinese calendar. If there's a festival better suited to the pack on this forum, I can't imagine what it would be.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_New_Year
For those who have access to new year's celebrations, go enjoy and bring back plenty of pictures.
For people born in 1922, 1934, 1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, or 2006, this is their year. Let's celebrate them as well, and include their photos here too.
And, if you or someone you know literally is a dog, this is their spot.
Archived pictures are welcome as well as new ones.

Rufus, NN, those are some amazingly cute shots. "Not Me" is fantastic.
noisynoodle Wrote:(ADDED LATER: I've actually read the challenge properly now and I'm not sure you wanted any dog pics. I just saw "Year of the Dog... Dog pics are great, New year's celebration pics are good, portraits of people (my wife was born in the Year of the Dog, so I'll see if I can get a shot of her) -- this is a broad and fun topic. We've got to knock down the "trees and cups" assignment thread somehow, right?
(Julian: your last shot was perfect, and I appreciate its inclusion. Nice touch.)

All lovely shots, Cain looks like a gorgeous dog Yes it is a whip, but these are hunting beagles. The whip isn't used to actually hit them, just the sound (and maybe an occasional light flick) to keep them in order!
Cain was a very beautiful dog and the biggest GSD I've ever seen...he really was enormous, but also the most gentle dog I've ever known. He was a real "one off" and I still miss him.

There's no PP effects here - just good old fill flash.

My sisters dog says hello

He likes to eat grass.
Then he vomits it up later.
