Weekly Photo Contest: What Was I Thinking?
We’re happy to announce that Mark Rogers, professional pet photographer, Dogster member and shelter volunteer, will be hosting the Dog Blog photo contest every week moving forward. Welcome to the team, Mark!
Vizslas are among my favorite breeds to photograph. They’re very expressive and every shoot with one produces a shot like the one below where you are convinced they’re about to say something. I also love the way they mask as they get older. (I have a thing for senior dogs.)
This photo was taken at a park near my home last year on a classic chilly, foggy San Francisco summer day. The Viszla was there with her owner and playing her heart out while the fog rolled in. Two minutes after I took this picture, I couldn’t see 10 feet in front of me.
Just make a comment on this post and replace “What was I thinking?” with your own suggestion to score 25 Zealies that you can spend in the Gift Shop!
If I flap fast enough, maybe I can fly and get that cat out of the tree!

I’m not getting older, I’m getting better. The problem is I just look worse.
Did you see Letterman last night …”How about that John McCain? He looks like the guy at the movies whose wife has to repeat everything. He looks like the guy who has to always be told something is on his chin. He looks like a guy who still has a rotary phone. He looks like a guy who’s backed over his own mailbox. He looks like a guy whose sweater is always mis-buttoned. He looks like the guy who always tells you he’s 72 years young. He looks like the guy who’s bragged that oatmeal has lowered his cholesterol. He looks like the guy who should be co-hosting with Kelly Ripa.” …What do you mean I should talk???
‘That’s the last time I play ’sniff the flour’ with sheep.’
