My Vote Goes to the Dogs
Who were the best athletes on the field in Chicagoland over the Labor Day weekend? My vote goes to the dogs.
Yes, the dogs. Specifically, the dogs at the Ashley Whippet Invitational K-9 Frisbee™ World Championship Series in Naperville, Illinois.
I wrote about Frisbees™ and the canine world championships last year on my blog at

I Need Your Help
One or more of these photos may wind up in a local photo contest. And a catchy title just might help my chances. So, please put on those thinking caps and help me out with suggested captions!
The Shots
New cameras are technological marvels. My Canon R5 tracks and focuses on animal eyes even as they run and jump around a large field. I picked these three as my favorites out of the hundreds of photographs I took that morning.
Photo #1 (the attached lead photo) called out to me because of the look on the dog’s face. And the color-coordinated turquoise Frisbee™, front leg wraps, and dyed tail brought a smile to my face. Finally, I could only imagine what was going through the dog’s head as it spun through the air.
Shot #2 caught my attention because of the body symmetry between dog and owner. If only the owner had a Frisbee™ in his mouth. That’s a lot of body English!
Shot #3 intrigued me with the ferocious concentration in the dog’s eyes along with the jaws ready to snap shut.
If you have a moment, please send me a suggested caption for any or all of the three pictures.
Thanks for looking (and captioning),
Chuck Derus
