People will always go for the toy so I picked C, I like A best but no toy. With the look and pose in A if she had a toy in her mouth a forsure winner.

I like a or b but voted for B because it seemed more like a calendar shot to me.

I also like A the best. DH always goes for the toy shots so I threw one in for him since we can't agree on a picture. And with B, I just think she looks like a goof with her tongue hanging out the side of her mouth. She is quite the character to say the least.

I have a ton of pictures with her and toys but most of them I don't think were contest worthy. And most of them are of her fighting with Holden over a toy :lol: . I didn't want to put a picture of her and Holden since this is supposed to showcase animals that they have adopted out.

I was SOOOO torn between A and C!!! I totally agree with Jeff's assessment - people will always go for the picture with the toy! I kept being drawn back to A, even though I loved the one with the toy, so I finally went with A. What a cutie! Good luck!

I think you should stay away from A. You can see what looks like a tie out line for her. I vote for C.

Well, I'm gonna be in the minority and vote for B. I think it really shows her personality and I like the way her tongue and the leaves on the ground sort of color cooridinate, lol. She is a cutie.

If the signature photo were in the running I would vote D also.

I was thinking the same thing... I love how that bone fits her mouth and the signature Chow paw tuck.

Well, for those of you who voted for one of the first three pictures, do you like the bone picture better? Majority will rule and I'll submit the pic tomorrow. Remember, Miss Hannah will need all of your votes to make the calendar! 8) (Voting won't start until the 15th and I'll post info about it when they give it to me)

I totally missed the tie out line in A - I always said I'd make a lousy witness, and guess that goes to prove it! The signature picture is a winner, I think! She's adorable in it!

The first picture she is on a tie out. I was doing yard work in the front yard so I had the two kids taking turns on going out front with me. Since neither of them can be trusted to stay in the yard, they have to go on tie outs in the front. Little snots...

I took out the rope and sidewalk if that helps.

Thanks Jeff :)

I will poll my co-workers again tomorrow since we had a write-in today :wink: . They had all chosen A so we'll see if they stick with A or go with the bone picture. Will let you all know which one I decide on tomorrow! My little Hannah all grown up. Hard to believe we've had her for almost 9 months now...

Well friends, after many polls of everyone I know.... I have decided to submit picture A for the contest.

I do have one favor, though, Jeff. Is there any way that you can resize the picture that you altered for me? Right now it is 160x240 or something like that and I'm afraid that might be too small. When I download the pics to my computer they come in as 3072x2304 and I usually change them to 320xsomething for the forum here. I can email you the original picture from my camera if that will help and you can alter that one and email it back? Just let me know.

Thanks for everyone's input and I will let you know when the voting starts :D
