    I thought about sitting this month out.  I don't really do dogs but just so happened to come across the pooch in my entry last week in Ibiza. 

    It’s not an amazing photo but the only one I’m likely to have that fits the theme.

    I was going to sit this month out as well, but I sat in the park after dropping my car off for it's mot and lots of dog walkers about, one lady obliged my request to throw the ball toward me as I tried to capture a very rapid dog. 

    A lot of cropping from the original but pretty pleased with it,.  I had my camera in sports mode, with the burst setting on and I was panning at the same time

    We've only recently got out first dog - which has multiplied into two dogs within the space of 3 months!  

    I’ve got two pics that I can’t choose between this month… I’ll upload the one I don’t choose here when I’ve stopped dithering

    I *almost* entered this image as I quite like the composition. But because I thought it was quite similar to other entries I decided to enter something a bit different which I think showed her playful character. I think deciding what to enter is a challenge in itself!

    Afternoon you lovely lot. September's winner has just been announced over in the competition thread

    Bonus task for this month: everyone who entered has to tell us all about the subjects of their photos

    I'll start: my photo is Indie, my ex-racing greyhound. We've had her for nearly 3 years now, and in that time she has *completely* stolen my heart 3

    This was my entry



    Ruby is a 4 year old English Bull Terrier, she is both a joy and a disaster, not an ounce of aggression in her, well socialised. She is an absolute cuddle monster, loves people and most other dogs, very terrrier, she caught a mouse a couple of days ago, a true comedian, easily distracted, wilful and stubborn….cant imagine being without the idiot

    Her brother from another mother is Harry a 10 year old Stafford, who puts up with her antics

    Mine is 'Buddy' my daughter's Lab. I look after him from time to time, maybe 10 times a year. Comes around my house, jumps on the furniture, barks at my neighbours, thinks he owns the fcking place. 

    My daughter says he gets stomach upsets and not to feed him except the biscuits she gives me. But I always give a full English. He seems to enjoy it. I always take him for a 7 mile walk to work it off and in the afternoon he tends to just go to sleep.

    Nice dog, friendly, but weird. If he goes on a walk and sees another dog approaching he goes into 'pounce' mode like a lion. I think he must've been raised by cats.

    Meh, just a dog I saw on the street in Ibiza. Wish I had a more heartwarming story behind the pic. Soz ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Mine is our Labrador, Daisy. She’s getting on for 3 now, we’ve had her since she was a pup. She’s a typical Lab: very loyal, obedient, good recall, obsessed with food, will chase a ball all day, loves water. Untypically her best mates are our two cats. She’s definitely Number 2 in the pecking order though, Number 1 being Finn, one of the cats, who completely dominates her.

    With this months comp closing 10 days before Halloween I've trawled through photos taken last October and found one taken 25/10/22 which just qualifies. It's just a snapshot I took of a nearby house spectacularly decorated for Halloween so not really competition quality but it will have to suffice until and unless I'm accosted by ghouls or zombies before 21st :D

    I've been waiting until a few houses get decorated around here, as I haven't seen anything much to shoot so far this month apart from a pile of pumpkins at a garden centre... I didn't even think of looking at last year's photos! I'll get on that in a minute :)

    I’m struggling for anything so far, it’s too early for much Halloween stuff to be out.

    Yes, I seem to have made a rather large miscalculation in choosing this theme.

    I don’t blame you for the theme, it’s potentially much more interesting than just Autumn. The timing is the issue.

    I’m happy to run this theme for a couple of months, if everyone’s in agreement?

    Fine by me. Or how about just extending it to the end of October?
