Caption This! Share Your Funny Pet Photos with Patch

Share your pet photos with Patch, and we'll invite readers to test their wit with a caption for your photo. The winning caption will be emblazoned on a proof of your pet's picture.

If only our pets could talk. They seem to take on personalities of their own—the cheeky chihuahua, grumpy pit bull or goofy cat.

Some pet owners can't help but whip out their smart phone or camera to capture their colorful pets in a moment of hilarity. Owners might even put words in their pets' mouths, reading their mutt's mind for their own amusement. 

Patch wants in on the fun. We're inviting readers to share their amusing pet photos for readers to test their sense of humor. Each week, we'll select one photo from the gallery and ask readers to suggest a caption. Patch editors will choose the best one, and the pet owner and the caption writer will each receive a personalized, Patch-branded version for their enjoyment.

Just click the giant "Upload photos and videos" button, select your favorite photo and you're all set!

A few basic rules apply: 

  1. Any animal will do. Dogs, cats, horses, lizards, birds, guinea pigs—you name it, we'll take it.
  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!

What happened to the dog festival on saturday? They usually have it in the park...only to find out they moved it over by the bank.....I really wanted to hear Small Time Dave

I reject the "snobby cat" suggestion. My cat is shy, yes, but there's nothing snobby about her. She doesn't demand name brand jeans and even uses hand-me-down toys.

Apologies, Denise! Perhaps "aloof" would be a better adjective for some cats?
(P.S. I definitely have a snobby cat.)

I have 2 cats and they are very lovey-dovey most of the time. They even respond to their names when I call them! They love to play with shoe laces and LOVE to be petted.

Denise, that zucchini picture cracks me up!

Love "Morris" the beagle turning on and off the fan....
Joseph R. Martan September 20, 2012 at 02:59 pm
"Morris" the beagle is one smart canine! The fan reproduces the wind like riding in a car with your head outside the door. And we all know how much dogs like riding in a car with the wind in their face.

Cari Barcas (Editor) September 24, 2012 at 09:14 pm
Samantha, just click the "upload photos and videos" button above the main picture. Looking forward to seeing what you have in store for us!

There isnt one
Cari Barcas (Editor) September 24, 2012 at 09:44 pm
Hmm ... there should be a button both above the picture and below it in the text of the article. If you can't find either of those upload buttons, you can email me your photo at cari.brokamp@patch.com.

Look in the upper left hand corner of any picture for this article. There is a large ( about 1/2 inc by 2 inch) box that has a small camera picture and the words "Upload Photos and Videos" in green letters.

There's no button on the mobile site. I had to use my netbook.

My dog may not be doing something funny, but I had to show her off!! :)

Lauren, Great idea to have pet pics. Many of the pics submitted ers do not open on Patch. Any idea why?

Could it be a file size issue?

Bella Cain was a nice surprise last year for a first-time band last year. Nice to see them backRead More this year.
Colleen McAbee June 18, 2013 at 08:28 am
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.
Dutch Oven Chef June 19, 2013 at 09:38 am
Have any of you whiners ever seen the crowd at OakFest when Infinity is playing?? There are wallRead More to wall people in the tent and out into the grass around the tent! I agree that 7th Heaven was very good as well but maybe their price tag got too high for a neighborhood fest....
Robert Quilico June 11, 2013 at 07:31 am
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!
