[Ali]

We are pleased to announce a Summer Caption Competition for Greyhound Gap, featuring RichardTheSane’s gorgeous Tippy ;D

Please add as many captions as you wish for each photograph, by replying to this thread. Be sure to indicate which caption goes with which picture! There will be prizes for the best caption for each picture. Entry fees will be 50p per caption.

The closing date for captions will be Sunday 18th July, the closing date for payment of entry fees will be Wednesday 21st July with the winners to be announced on Friday 23rd July.

The best caption for each picture will win a selection of dog treats and toys.
A huge thanks to Richard for allowing us to use pictures of Tippy, and for agreeing to be our judge
I’m sure he’ll be consulting Tippy, and I expect Tippy could be open to bribes of the ‘chicken’ kind

Entry fees are payable via personal cheque or postal orders made to “Greyhound Gap” and should be sent to:
Ali Packham
Glenvue, 2 Lewes Road
Horsted Keynes
West Sussex
RH17 7DP

I’ll collect all cheques and send them off in a bundle to Angela (treasurer) when all entry money has been received.

We are able to accept Paypal but you will need to add an extra 50p to cover the costs and let me know that you are paying entry fees this way. Please PM me (Ali) for details

In addition, be sure to keep taking pictures of your hound throughout the summer months, doing all things summery. There is bound to be a photograph competition with a summery theme next time

Tippy didn't know how the paparazzi found out about his plastic surgery, but he was determined not to be photographed until the swelling had gone down!

After his trip to the Australian outback, Tippy did some animal impressions for those not lucky enough to accompany him:

Pic 1: "....kangaroos are so funny, they go like this!"


Pic: 2 "Aligators are scary and they look like this..."


Pic 3: "....but the Koalas were really cute.....look Dad, I can do proper Koala ears!"

During his recent interview on the South Bark Show, Tippy spoke warmly of his love of the arts and of artists;

re-enacting his acclaimed role as the "sugar bone fairy"

a short aria from the little-known "Dogly Cart " prouction "Send in the Sausages"

(photo three)
But sadly refused piont-blunt to reveal more about his mysterious love-life

Photo One
It is soooo hard to run in a dignified fashion when your ears, tongue and tail insist on doing their own thing.

Photo Two
Tippy takes a huge deep breath, hoping to suck all treats within a mile radius into his waiting choppers.

Photo Three
If exposed to flashes of bright light Tippy had a tendancy to turn into a strange gremlin-like creature and so he has become well practised at avoiding such flashes by clever paw manoeuvres.

Only 7 days left to post your captions.
At this rate everyone who has posted as a good chance of winning a prize

Come on... get inspired, or maybe you are rendered speechless at Tippy’s handsomeness?

Entries for the hugely successful ( ) caption competition has now closed (18th July) with the final payment date drawing ever nearer – Wed 21st July.
Can those of you have entered, please let me know if you have already paid by Paypal as no cheques have landed on my doormat

There are a couple of photograph competitions in the pipeline, so hopefully that will drum up more interest than captions (captions are always so hard!). The first photo competition will be one with a Summer theme and held towards the end of August. Be sure to get snapping your hounds through the summer months

[ReikiAnge]

Oh b*gg*r, I got this confused with another comp and thought they both ended at the end of the month.

[lurcherlot]

Will bung my pennies in the post in the morning

[Ali]

For anyone with last minute inspiration... (Phoenyx ) we'll extend the closing date for captions for an extra couple of days

Entries and entry fee to be posted by 21st July

Thanks to all who have posted so far! And for those that have not... hard isn't it?
