What's this dog thinking, as it warms up near a fire?

Patch readers, you're up!

We need your wit, creativity and animal psychic abilities to craft the perfect caption for the next edition of our pet photo caption challenge! 

What's this dog thinking, as it warms up by a stove?

Suggest your caption in the Comments section below. Comments will close at 9 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 16. The winner will be announced Thursday, Jan. 17. 

The author of the winning caption and pet owner will receive a Patch-branded version of the photo, with the caption inserted. 

Congratulations to last week's winner, Aaron A, with the winning caption to Caption This! That's One Lazy Cat.

Mom, meatloaf! Now!

Have a photo you'd like captioned in future editions? Add it to our collection and your pet will be featured in weeks to come!

  2. Limit of 4 photos per person (or family), per month. 
  3. Submission is ongoing. Post your photos whenever you have them; the more photos, the better.

EP Patch...your advertisers are taking up the whole article. Can you do something about this? I read on my phone and am not even getting full articles because of the advertising. Please make it stop!!

Warning! Vicious guard dog.

Im calling OSHA, those barrels of oil are way to close to the fire. Crap, I'm a dog and don't have a phone.

Now if I can only have a blanket to cuddle up to, this floor is kinda hard, and a nice bowl of hot cider, maybe spiked with something.

The weather outside is frightful, but the fire insides delightful.

R gibbons is right! Cannot read anything anymore. No way to see articles with adverts blocking the page! Help!

Bella Cain was a nice surprise last year for a first-time band last year. Nice to see them backRead More this year.

Disappointed once again to not see 7th heaven on the roster. They have the best vocals out there,Read More even without their lead singer Keith Semple who defected to start a solo act. This band actually gets radio air play. Haven't heard any of the others at Oakfest on the radio.

Stephanie, not sure how to do so. Joe, thanks for your concern. We are still hoping to find someoneRead More here that may know of the dog. We are not looking to cause it any harm, just looking for information.

I hope that you find the owners of that pet! I bring my black Shepherd up there when we go...oneRead More reason I don't let my dog go with neighbors is because neighbors can't control him like we do. The owners should have been more responsible. I'm glad that your daughter is alright and I hope that you find the owners of this dog!

This was a great event. I was honored to be a part of it. If we are able to do this next year, youRead More won't want to miss this event.

I dare anyone to name a more dangerous intersection then that. The turn from 147th st west bound toRead More southbound Oak Park is the worst I've seen. One slip and your car goes down a ravine 20 feet. The civil engineer and county people who approved that design should be called out. We NEED HELP!

Where is the Pink slip boutique located? It is nice to hear of sales, but please give address andRead More dates.
