Caption this picture and win a Christmas print...



 I didn't realize it was already the 14th, YIKES!  We best play this little game right away cause time's awastin!.
  Please  caption Naomi's photograph with all the wit and cleverness you can muster.
I know there will be some great captions, because my readers are very smart and creative folk, AND you wouldn't be here if you didn't have a sense of humor.

 The winning caption gets this:
"Dashing Thru the Snow" 
size 9 1/2" x 25", signed and numbered litho
I originally created this piece as a painted papercutting.

Whoever's caption makes Mavis Mudd cackle the loudest, is the WINNER!

  Now put on your thinking caps and create a caption for Naomi the goat.
 

C'MON, SHE'S WAITING!

Mavis will choose the winner on Sunday...then I can send out the print on Monday,,, then You MIGHT get it before Christmas..or maybe not.
  Anyway, you will have it for sure for next Christmas!

  3. AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WAIT.....

    first of all, my next blog post's header is titled, "Dashing through the snow" so please don't think I was copying!!!!

    OK.....oh dear, I can't think of anything! When I first saw the picture, my OLD EYES couldn't focus and I thought Naomi was a burrito!!!!! I MEAN, a CHEESE AND BEAN BURRITO! Go figure that one out!!!!!

    WOW, I am out of ideas here dearest...pass the baton to some other clever blogger, but just to tell you, I THINK YOU ARE THE GREATEST!!!!!!!! You know how to have fun!

    BIG GIANT HUGS TO ALL OF YOU OUT THERE! Anita

  4. Anita, you should win a prize just for making Mavis spill her tea all over the nesting box as she guffaws over the "Cheese and Bean Burrito" remark! She always said Naomi ate far too many burritos and that is why she never kept her girlish figure... the one Mavis prides herself on.

  11. Valerie, She does look a bit like our long ago Jack Russell, Lydia...but she is much more coy.

    Judi, You have just given me a GREAT idea for next years Christmas painting!

    Marta, Basically, all they do is layabout and EAT!

    Osage, Looks are deceiving, she is so far from innocent!

Someone once told me that Time has a Way of Marching by and Most of the Time its On your Face! You know I think that it was Dolly Parton who said that. Hmmm.... Be a a Dear and Do Find out where those Sunglasses Went."

  20. "Will someone Pleeeaaase rub my tummy and help me get up a good burp!
    I think I might have, ahem, over indulged!"

    This reminds us of our Lydia Corgi when she got into the cupboard and ate till she couldn't eat any more! When I picked her up she felt so heavy and she let out a little whine and she was so round and full! We fed her mighty light until she returned to her normal shape!

    Our goats get up burps when we rub their backs and tummies!

    Your cousins,
    Diane and daughter Sarah at the Corgyncombe Courant
