Not sure if this counts since it was nothing specific done by the dogs, butI took this pic a few days ago, as Zack's sister Izzy doesn't usually cuddle up to him.....I had the flash on, and it was the first time their eyes have ever come out green - very alien-like!
Zack, King of Dogs, 1996 to 2010
Zack lived a full 14 years, even to the end.
The joy and memories he provided us will last a lifetime.
Surviving him is his sister, Izzy, a 12-year-old boxer mix quadpawd.
And the latest addition, Zula, an 11-month-old pit bull mix tripawd.
I think it looks like Comet is singing "You ain't nothin but a hound dog!" Now I have to go see if there are ANY scary pictures of Holly... I'm sure I can find some of Zuzu.
PS...When my kids were little, my youngest used to think the words to that song were "You ate something like a hound dog". I used to laugh so hard everytime she sang that!
Holly joined the world of tripawds on 12/29/2009. She has a big little sister, Zuzu, who idolizes Holly and tries to make all of her toys into tripawds in Holly's honor. And she's enjoying life one hop at a time!

ok... to add to the green eyed pics.... this is my first time posting a pic in a forum, so I'm not sure I'm doing this right.
And this is Holly's best na-na-na-boo-boo pose:
I know... neither are too scary, but I've often said that Holly is the refined, older woman in the house!

I don't know, they are all p-r-e-t-t-y good! I like the no eye ball having Loki, and Jerry with his blurry "gonna keel ya" look, definately the really creepy (which I swear I have NEVER seen before) green glowing eyed pups. The teeth of Rocky are pretty terrific, and the TEETH of cometdog are a no brainer for the home run... Who else are we missing?
How are we going to vote without all the contestants in?
Sammy the disintergrator of tennis balls..
Diagnosed with osteosarcoma in the right front leg 8/23/10,
leg fractured 8/27/10,
leg amputated 8/30/10

I couldn't begin to say how special Sammy is to us. Living and laughing with and loving this wonderful boy is priceless.
Maybe make a deadline for entries, then open it to voting? One vote per person?

Chloe became a rear amp tripawd on 7-29-10. Another tumor was removed on front leg 2-20-14. Found 3rd tumor on neck 2-2015, but she's still kicking cancer's butt at age 14. Chloe's blog

Chloe's mom, BRILLIANT! I also think that it doesn't matter if a contestant is a quadpawd or a tripawd, as long as they are a dog..
So let's say we give everyone until Halloween to grab the camera and catch thier puppies looking thier creepiest?
Cometdog, I gotta say... that was good! I dunno though.... disintergrating tennis balls... crazy teeth.... might be too close to call.... LOL!

Daisy using her powerful laser vision to try to melt the handle of the evil hydro treadmill tank
Zzzzzzzap! (sound of melting metal) Whoosh! (Sound of water dumping out of the tank sweeping the evil techs off their feet)
hop, hop, hop…….hop,hop, hop….beep beep…thump (Sound of Daisy escaping to the car, opening car with the remote and diving in)
Daisy earned her wings on Oct 22, 2011 at 14 years old
She is now the official greeter at the rainbow bridge
Everyone is guaranteed a welcome sniff and Dalmatian smile

Wow, some scary faces for sure. I've been looking and looking for one of Fortis but thus far have come up empty. He's got one, I can promise you that. The problem is when he has it on I'm usually not concerned with a photo but more so with holding on!!!!!!!!!!! I guess I could walk him across the street where a big male GSD lives. Oh boy, they don't like one another. I'm sure Fortis would shock you all when he puts the face of the DEVIL on! It ain't pretty. He's rarely like this, but certain pups just bring it out.

Shelli (the big one) lost her life 2 weeks ago to lymphnode sarcoma stage 4 that was in the liver. Mousie, her little freind, got stepped on because she was very clingy after Shelli passed away and her femur was crushed. Mousie is having her right hind leg amputated today.
The quest for world domination continues on three legs. Comply minions!

Ooooooh, Ritables, so thats Shelli. Wow, what a beautiful girl, we are so sorry for your loss.
Mousie, what gift to remember your best friend by! Yikes! Well, we're here for you OK? Your size is a HUGE advantage to being a Tripawd, you'll do just fine. Keep us posted.
And Oh My DOG those pics are scary guys! My Mom found one of me last night, believe it or not. Stay tuned, she's gotta scan it.

These are great pictures, I showed them to my friends at work and they said so far they liked Loki best, followed closely by the glowing green eyed monsters. I am maybe a little bias but I told my puppy he was the SCARIEST doggy ever with the super tail wagging, mean faced gonna getcha look.
I have one of Titan that is a for sure... just have to find a way to get in off of a real picture and into the computer. Why is my computer life so challenging?!
I still look forward to seeing more scary pictures (I finally figured out thanks to cometdog how to spell SCARY) and think we have time before Halloween to get some great ones in!
Ritables, I am sorry for the double wammy. It sounds like you are going through some tough times. The good news is Mousie is going to be fine after her amputation because it isn't cancer related. I hope that is some comfort!

Okay, here is one I took about a month ago of Fortis' friend, Humpboy! He is a quad and a real sweetheart but I thought the the photo looked scary none the less. Still searching for one of Fortis.
