Well, relaxing at the Pool stole my idea, so I guess it's a good thing I didn't get around to shooting it! :P

It seems like lots of blueys like to head for the sand & surf for their holidays! I guess the bush does get boring after a while. I can't pick a fav yet. Oh wait yes I can.

P.S. #2 Surfs up dude - might be time for a diet :wink: :lol: chunky skinky. :lol:

I mean, don't get me wrong, what a beautiful big fellow he is! But I think the budgie smugglers (speedos) might have to wait till next season. :wink:

The one in the pool cracks me up everytime, that is such a cool float. I'm going to look on ebay today for one.

Ok, I must vote for # 6

Why? Because it is the unchartered territory that I believe the BTS would find the most enjoyable for a vacation. And I love the picture!

I can just see my Morgan poking around discovereing secret paths and little cave like hideouts. So, #6 it is!

So, how do you guys pick the picture for the monthly contect? Can I submit some? What themes will you be using?

1 Irian Jaya"Morgan"
1 Indonesian"Little Cricket"
1 Ball Python"Taupe"
1 Black Lab "Brinkley"
1 Lab Mix "Tasha"
1 Munchkin "Alec" (My son is 4 years old and thinks he is a dinosaur - that counts doesn't it?)
