ChrysN (author) in reply to ElvenChildMay 11, 2011. 5:11 PM
Sure, other people's pets are fine!

Cute dogs and dinosaur too!
Goodhart says: Apr 30, 2011. 10:11 AM
I found a few more. BTW: I am not entering the contest so much as just showing some pics of my pets I hadn't shown before.
The first and third one demonstrate most cavy personality types. Shy (especially that third photo, hiding their heads = I'm safe LOL). The second picture, and the fourth one show our most outgoing cavy; Snuggles: curious and funny.
The last one shows a bit of an optical illusion.  If you look carefully, it APPEARS as though the Agouti colored piggy has his head mounted on a newspaper wall of sorts. 
Not to fear,  he is turning his head and his body is hidden at an angle.  Tis hard to believe they can turn those tubby / stubby little bodies that sharply, but they can.

ChrysN (author) in reply to GoodhartApr 30, 2011. 11:50 AM
Cute, how many do you have? I like the second picture with the white one looking out of the cage.
Goodhart in reply to ChrysNApr 30, 2011. 4:43 PM
At this point, we have 3 girls left. The one looking out of the cage (and also at the keyboard), is Snuggles. The one behind her in the cage is Marshmallow (marshy), and the Grey agouti one looking out of the tube is Maura. We get them from the local shelter, when we can. The others are no longer with us....
Creativeman in reply to GoodhartMay 5, 2011. 1:22 PM
What did you do to post your pictures? You were having trouble before.
Goodhart in reply to CreativemanMay 5, 2011. 2:54 PM
I was in MSIE, I went home and used my FF browser and it worked.
ChrysN (author) in reply to GoodhartApr 30, 2011. 7:22 PM
How sweet!
Goodhart in reply to ChrysNMay 5, 2011. 7:15 PM
Thanks, she makes such a CUTE patch too :-)
ChrysN (author) in reply to GoodhartMay 5, 2011. 8:52 PM
She does!
Goodhart in reply to ChrysNApr 30, 2011. 8:54 PM
One more note, although it is hard to see from the pictures, Snuggles has DEEP BLUE eyes. Most Cavies have blood red or deep ruby red eyes; she is a very special piggy in many ways :-)

I tried to post but the post just disappears when you add an image :(
ChrysN (author) in reply to scraptopowerMay 2, 2011. 3:52 PM
There appears to be a problem posting images, hopefully the bug will be fixed soon.
Creativeman in reply to ChrysNMay 5, 2011. 1:19 PM
Any progress that you know of?
scraptopower in reply to CreativemanMay 5, 2011. 1:21 PM
Yeah it works :)

That's Tom !

More to come...
scraptopower in reply to CreativemanMay 5, 2011. 1:20 PM
Test....

Goodhart in reply to ChrysNMay 2, 2011. 5:13 PM
It seems ESPECIALLY problematic in MSIE....I can post from home fine (FF recently updated)
ChrysN (author) in reply to GoodhartMay 2, 2011. 7:06 PM
I was wondering if it was browser specific, since I haven't had any trouble posting images with FireFox.
scraptopower in reply to ChrysNMay 3, 2011. 1:05 AM
I'm using FF but not the most recent version ......

:D Thank you!
username252 says: May 3, 2011. 4:20 PM
I'm posting my pets soon, but I don't know when you're putting the deadline. when does the contest end?
ChrysN (author) in reply to username252May 3, 2011. 4:22 PM
I'll be running it for maybe a month, or longer depending one how many responses I get.
lil larry says: Apr 30, 2011. 9:44 AM
Can we just let you see an instructable about our pets becuase my library is just not quite working...
ChrysN (author) in reply to lil larryApr 30, 2011. 11:47 AM
Sure or you can wait until it is fixed, I think the instructables staff are working on it. I have not set a deadline for the contest so there is time.
lil larry in reply to ChrysNApr 30, 2011. 12:45 PM
Well, I made an instructable. It's http://www.instructables.com/id/-My-Pet-Photos-/. I think there's seventeen pictures...
ChrysN (author) in reply to lil larryApr 30, 2011. 2:00 PM
Great pictures!
lil larry in reply to ChrysNApr 30, 2011. 3:33 PM
Thanx! I actually was thinking about making an instrucatble about my pets, but since now you have this contest, I have a good reason for making a random instructable! :D
dombeef says: Apr 30, 2011. 8:42 AM
Here are a few, I might add more soon
Also for the "Best Other Pet Photo" can it be a pet plant?

ChrysN (author) in reply to dombeefApr 30, 2011. 11:48 AM
Cute doggy. A plant is acceptable as a pet too.
dombeef in reply to ChrysNApr 30, 2011. 12:01 PM
Thanks, she is about 9 years old now and is a scaredy cat.
Creativeman says: Apr 29, 2011. 1:57 PM
http://www.instructables.com/id/Romeo-Super-Cover-Dog/Hey ChrysN; good idea for a little competition...I wanted to get in on it, but am having trouble accessing my image library from here. Has anyone else had this issue? I posted in bugs, but don't know how long that can take. I made a photo instructable of my pet, Romeo. click on link to see. Does that count?  Thanks.  
Goodhart in reply to CreativemanApr 29, 2011. 5:18 PM
I can not access my images from here either....
ChrysN (author) in reply to GoodhartApr 29, 2011. 5:21 PM
Hmmm, I I seem to have picked a bad time to run this contest. Well I haven't set a deadline, so there is time.
Goodhart in reply to ChrysNApr 29, 2011. 5:43 PM
Well, I have two pictures, one is in my library, the other one at home.....but the one is just "cute", not really anything spectacular photography-wise.....the other one uses a combonation of content shadowing and the cavy's "position" to make a really odd looking effect :-)
ChrysN (author) in reply to GoodhartApr 29, 2011. 6:04 PM
Nice, hopefully they will fix the image bug soon. I'd love to see both pictures.
Goodhart in reply to ChrysNApr 29, 2011. 6:16 PM
Well, I've been told it is a really "odd looking, somewhat disturbing looking" picture LOL
ChrysN (author) in reply to CreativemanApr 29, 2011. 5:17 PM
He's super cute, great picture too. Since people are having trouble posting pictures that is a great way to work around it.
caitlinsdad in reply to CreativemanApr 29, 2011. 2:06 PM
I think replying with images in comments has been buggy since the Facebook thing was put in and will require major work to fix it *sigh* But at least you were able to get image notes working on your instructable. That comes and goes too.
username252 says: Apr 28, 2011. 10:22 PM
I'll enter as soon as I get my pictures together!
2hot2hack says: Apr 28, 2011. 4:12 AM
when dose it end??
ChrysN (author) in reply to 2hot2hackApr 28, 2011. 3:58 PM
I'm not sure how long I'll be running the contest, it depends on whether I get a lot of entries, there does not seem to be much interest at this point.
2hot2hack in reply to ChrysNApr 28, 2011. 9:27 PM
so if nobody else enters dose that ean i win??
ChrysN (author) in reply to 2hot2hackApr 28, 2011. 10:02 PM
Sure, but you will need to post a picture of your pet first!
