Anyone up for something fun?

December 3, 2009 by Dr. V

There is absolutely nothing in it for you except tidings of comfort and joy. And lots of squeeage.

I was thinking about doing the Twelve Days of Christmas leading up to the holiday, because as anyone who knows me will confirm I really just adore the holiday season. But a series of twelve with just Brody wouldn’t be near as much fun as incorporating anyone else who was game!

You would get one of the twelve days as an assignment, to interpret photographically in whatever manner you see fit. So “six geese a laying” could be “six treats a-eatin” or “six hounds a braying” or anything, really, and upload it to a flickr group I create or e-mail it to me.

Anyone up for it? (It’s open to any non-Christmas celebrating types too who just like sharing pictures of their awesome pets!)

OK: Here is the updated list:

12 Drummers Drumming- Lisa
Eleven Pipers Piping– Susan
Ten Lords a Leaping- Elizabeth
Nine Ladies Dancing- maybe Annette?
Eight Maids a Milking- wikith
Seven Swans a Swimming- Deb
Six Geese a Laying- Ashley
Five Golden Rings- Dr V
Four Calling Birds- Kari
Three French Hens- Darci
Two Turtle Doves- Rwan
and a Partridge in a Pear Tree- Dr V

      You can have any number you want save 1 and 5. You want 2 since you have 2?

      • Rwan Hardesty says

        Perfect. SOrry, had a really long day these last couple days and didn’t get back on to check. 2 is perfect πŸ™‚

    TOTALLY up for it! I’ve got three kittens (Ava, Beast, and Cleo) I will willingly volunteer.

    • Dr. V says

      December 4, 2009 at 10:24 am

      OK, how about 3 then? Awesome!

    • Dr. V says

      December 10, 2009 at 4:41 pm

      Hi Darci-
      Just checking to see if you are still planning on doing the 3 kitty picture?

    • Dr. V says

      December 10, 2009 at 4:43 pm

      Oops, ignore me- just checked Flickr! AWESOME!!

  3. Ashley says

    December 4, 2009 at 10:12 am

    I’m in!

    • Dr. V says

      December 4, 2009 at 10:24 am

      Awesome! Thank you! Pick a number, any number, between 6 and 12. πŸ™‚

      • Dr. V says

        December 4, 2009 at 11:45 am

        OK never mind, I’m giving you 6. πŸ˜€

        • Ashley says

          December 4, 2009 at 4:27 pm

          lol! 6 is perfect.

  4. Darci says

    December 4, 2009 at 10:34 am

    SWEET!!! Number 3 it is…when do we need to be ready?

    • Dr. V says

      December 4, 2009 at 11:42 am

      Let’s see…I’m doing day one on the ninth. So the tenth, to give me time to get it up.

  5. Deb Mendez says

    December 4, 2009 at 10:38 am

    I’ve got seven cats — perhaps a leaping –count me in, too!

    • Dr. V says

      December 4, 2009 at 11:44 am

      Would you like 7 (seven swans a swimming) or 10 (10 lords a leaping)?

  6. Lisa W says

    December 4, 2009 at 10:46 am

    I’ll take 12!

    • Dr. V says

      December 4, 2009 at 11:42 am

      Sold! πŸ˜€ You got the anchor date. Excellent.

  7. Lisa W says

    December 4, 2009 at 10:54 am

    When’s your deadline? πŸ™‚

    • Dr. V says

      December 4, 2009 at 11:44 am

      If you’re taking 12, it wouldn’t be up until the 24th, but at least a day ahead to get it on the site.

    December 4, 2009 at 11:10 am

    ooohh we want to play!

    • Dr. V says

      December 4, 2009 at 11:45 am

      Great! I’m giving you 10. (keeping it random).

  9. wikith says

    December 4, 2009 at 11:33 am

    Still room for another participant? I’ve got a cat and a dog, but am more than willing to provide many photos of each if that’s fine. The pup especially can be put into adorably humiliating circumstances.

    • Dr. V says

      December 4, 2009 at 11:46 am

      Great! I’m giving you 8.

  10. Susan Montgomery says

    December 4, 2009 at 11:57 am

    I’m game! any numbers left?

    • Dr. V says

      December 4, 2009 at 12:34 pm

      Yes! Nine. πŸ™‚

  11. Deb Mendez says

    December 4, 2009 at 12:22 pm

    Sorry — seven for me — I was sure there were seven lords a leaping — obviously I can’t remember the words! But I’ll figure out something appropriate!

  12. Susan Montgomery says

    December 4, 2009 at 1:39 pm

    Oh, make me the pipers piping instead, I have the perfect idea!

    • Dr. V says

      December 4, 2009 at 2:45 pm

      ok!

  13. Annette Frey says

    December 4, 2009 at 2:30 pm

    Do you still need eleven pipers piping? Let me know. I’ll take it if you do.

    • Dr. V says

      December 4, 2009 at 2:45 pm

      Can you take nine ladies dancing? I had a switch.

  14. Annette Frey says

    December 4, 2009 at 8:50 pm

    Sure. : ) On photo that reflects nine ladies dancing?

    • Dr. V says

      December 4, 2009 at 8:55 pm

      Just nine somethings something.

  15. pikachu says
