Comment RSSMango Minster 2010 – we can’t decide – HELP!
10.01.10 # 22:40 # Found on the WWW, My doggie friends # 12 CommentsMango seems to be everywhere and he seems to know everyone because he is such a cool guy!!!! Now he has a contest on “Mango Minster 2010″ and as it is my first year of blogging it is also my first chance to enter the contest.
It’s all about doggies (and for some reasons cats?!) and pictures. Now I have sooooooooo many pictures of my pretty self that I can’t decide which one to give to Mango…
There are quite a few categories:
Cat Dogs – Some doggies are, well, CATS. Right? So if you are a cat which is actually not a dog, never fear, you can enter here (hey, that’s like a poem).
I guess I’m out of that one…
Hound Dogs – Do you bay at the moon? Become deaf when your snooter is engaged? Run fast on long legs? This is your category.
Just double checked – long legs are in the eye of the beholder I guess, but no – not me either.
Herding Dogs – All you guys and gals who love to round things up enter here (yes, even Border Collie dogs which are not actual doggies, but alien beings from the planet Agility).
Ähm – no. When I come running they run too. Opposite direction…
Sporty Dogs – If you do a sport or are basically a good sport about life, then you are a Sporty Dog.
Now we are talking! I am sporty!!!
Non-Sporty Dogs – Bad dog! Bad dog! Grouchy? Sore loser? You know who you are.
Not me. My mom makes sure of it!!!
Hard Working Dogs – Have a job? This one is for you.
Oh yes! That’s me and the second category I would love to enter…
Cracker Dog Insane Terriers (CDIT) – Let’s face it, first of all, we are Relentlessly Huge terrier fans here at the estate. Plus there just is nothing like a terrier.
The rest of the family has already a screw loose – not me though…
Now I have found 2 pictures and I just can’t decide!
The first one would go into the “Sporty Dogs” category. That’s me braving the ocean and it shows off that I’m a) a real Aussie as I could swim before I stopped peeing on the carpet and b) that I’m obviously not just sporty but also very graceful and talented!
The second one!? Category: Hard working dogs. I’M A MODEL, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN… Man I tell you that is a hard job! All the pressure all the time! And then the non professionals I have to work with – shocking! That picture was taken when I had already been sitting there for 5 minutes waiting for the flashlights to go off and my (one of my, that comes with the job description) girlfriends just refused to play her part. Sigh! See my desperate look? It really is hard to keep that natural smile up when you are waiting, waiting, waiting… Just after this picture I had to go outside to relax my jaw muscles, have a drink of cold water and a chicken wing…
Anyway – now I’m asking: please vote!!! Help me to decide which one I should choose… Thanks guys!!!!!
Mango – my hooman is asking if she is actually allowed to enter being a professional photographer and all?! She couldn’t find anything in the rules about it. Maybe the second pic might not be appropriate (and there is not just me in the picture anyway) but the first one, she says, was taken with a little waterproof camera, while she was swimming backwards waiting for the same wave to crash over her… And sure there were sharks somewhere as well…

Licks, hero
I don’t know, that swimming in the ocean looks a bit insane cracker dog to me.
Can’t wait to see how you decide.
Slobbers,

I’ll go for the sporty one as well!!!! Good luck Master T.
Hi Teal’c!
I vote for the first picture! You look very sporty!
Oh my goodness, Teal’c – no wonder you’re having trouble deciding! Personally, I love the first picture and think you should go for the Sporty category – (gasp!) which Aussie wouldn’t go in a Sporty category?! Hee! Hee!
Wow – your human is a professional photographer? How cool! What sorts of things does she photograph??
Thanks for your great comment on my recent post. I so agree with you – although humans argue all the time about different “training methods” and all that, the best ones just use common sense instead of stupid academic theory. We so agree with what you say about those stupid humans who don’t train their dogs and then their poor dog paying for it! It makes my human aggressive too!
She also can’t stand those who “humanise” dogs and give them (fake) human emotions to make excuses for their behaviour – for God’s sake! What an insult! We are DOGS and proud of it! Nothing wrong with that! Why do these people act like it’s mean to treat us like dogs and that we should be treated like human babies instead?? 
Slobbers,
Honey the Great Dane
I would go with this picture! So great to meet you! Keep up the great blogging!

Hi guys! Thanks for all you help. We have decided for the sporty one! I’m so exited – my first Mango Minster contest!
Hi Honey! Thanks for your comment… And you are so right! WE ARE DOGS and we should be proud of it… My mom has recently started to walk away rather then to have an argument when it comes to behavior and nutrition and someone says: But they are no wild animals anymore so whatever they have eaten in the wild does not apply for my domesticated dog… It is just too difficult to argue with idiots…
Sure I don’t want to be treated like a hooman baby – as far as I know they are not allowed to sleep in the bed… I am!!!
Slobbers to all of you – Teal’c
Hi there Teal’c! I stopped by before but can’t remember if I introduced myself. I am Moose the Sporty Dog Judge for Mango Minster. My you are sporty! I am glad you picked the swimmin’ in waves pic because I am totally impressed! I am a lab and do love water but I mostly like to walk in it and am not so brave!
Anyway, it is nice to meet you!
Great shot!!
