It’s been a while since we’ve had a photo challenge, so dust off your cameras and photo albums and have fun!

This month’s theme is cats and dogs . It could be a live animal, a statue, a stained glass window…anything that matches the theme. The only rules for posting photos are:

• They must be on the specified theme
• These must be your own photos.

There is no price; it’s just for fun. If you don’t take photos yourself, or don’t have anything suitable to post, then join us in ‘voting’ for your favorite photos using the ‘Like’ button.

I hope there are plenty of suitable photos from other members, because I have very few.

This dog is part of a couple guarding the main entrance to Inverness Townhouse.

My dogs are not the photographer type. You go to their level to take a picture, and they come to see you. So we have a few quick shots but nothing…refined.

This is usually what we get…

This is our Newfoundland, just over a year old when this was taken

He loves his toys…

Although if we catch him in a lazy mood, we can take strange photos…

One of the few times we were able to have them pose. My wife threw a birthday party for our nine year old boxer…

Oh, I found this other of the two

Our cat is almost impossible to photograph… we end up with the back of his head or extreme close-ups.

Or be clumsy hanging from your cat tree

The boys are waiting for a lizard to appear

Lucy, my familiar, asleep on the logs

It’s usually impossible to get a good picture of our little man/monster Thomas when he’s awake.

You usually have to look for him while he’s sleeping. But every time in a blue moon…

Did someone say dogs??

Dino, a borzoi, about 12 years old

Friend, 1 year

Here’s another one from a few years ago. Cats on the doormat.

That’s a lot of cats…what exactly do you have in your house that they want?

Food, probably I tried – and failed – to count how many are on the mat, but we had 26 at the time.
