I've got a couple of options for photo's, now all I need is a snappy, amusing caption.
The standard set by the early-birds is so good my brain is going into meltdown...

Tony, not more than me, I bet. He was such a character and I don't know if I'd have discovered how big his personality truly was if he wasn't allowed his freedom..probably not.

Never a dull or quiet moment. Charlie has taken to screaming lately because with me starting work full time and the busy end of summer schedule he is not getting the attention he is used to so it has gotten quite loud at our house, because once Charlie starts, that sets Peanut off, it sounds like a jungle at our house.

I know how tough it is with screaming. I feel for you. I hope Charlie adjusts and it gets better very soon.

We regret to announce that the voting phase for this photo contest has been placed on hold for an undetermined period. As many of you may know, Blanca, the organizer and prize provider for this contest, has become inactive in order to focus on her own projects. With no prize to award and considering that interest and participation in this event have stalled, this is the only available option. Please accept my apology on behalf of our active staff folks :(
