FIRST PLACE Jan/Feb: I chose this one because this dog has his paw (or butt) on the pulse of an idea sure to make millions, the next big trend in dog foods. Imagine having your dog decorate your yard in festive colors, from pastels to day-glos (autumn colors maybe not so good). And you’d never have to pick up poop again, because you’d see it plainly. This dog is going to be rich, and I expect him to send me a cut. (I also liked the in and out diagram explaining the mechanics; he has the whole process figured out).
HONORABLE MENTION Jan/Feb: I really am not sure this photo is suited for young audiences, because it is rather erotic. But then I tried to look upon the nudity as an art form, and the use of positive and negative space as well as the beauty of the canine form unfettered by clothing won me out. This one also won Editor’s Choice for Funniest Dogfession! I laughed out loud when I took this out of the envelope. How saucy!
MOST CREATIVE Jan/Feb: Who can resist the inspirational story of how a dog turned her life around and is now trying to become productive citizen? Plus I liked the picture of the plugs, the ears, and the EPA.
SECOND PLACE Jan/Feb: The thing is, I bet if that dog had hands he’d be making little devil horns behind the other dogs’ heads. He’s probably voted “Most likely to be a con artist …
FIRST PLACE, MARCH: Those innocent, doe eyes are classic. I love that the dog sees nothing wrong with chewing on lace panties.
HONORABLE MENTION, MARCH: It's more like Don't ya wish your mom didn't dress you in silly clothes and make you pose for pictures? But that doesn't mean it's not something I'd do too.
MOST CREATIVE, MARCH: I love the dialogue on this one. That poor kitty has no idea what's coming!
SECOND PLACE, MARCH: Whoever said blondes have more fun has never met this dog.
BEST PUPPYFESSION, MARCH: It's so true! Who hasn't been suckered in by those cute faces your puppy makes? This is everyone's Dogfession.
EDITOR’S CHOICE, MARCH: I loved the creativity and thoughtfulness of this Dogfession! And I have a dog who has tried all of these methods -- and more -- to get treats. Also, this Dogfession didn’t scan well -- it’s actually hot pink in color and very striking. -- Nikki
FIRST PLACE, APRIL: I loved the impishness and the reality of this Dogfession. More than one person has eaten something for the dog without realizing it. This was also very creatively illustrated.
HONORABLE MENTION, APRIL: The dog’s expression is priceless and the confession seems well within the realm of possibility!
MOST CREATIVE, MARCH: I like the creativity of the poem and the way it’s written like waves on the water. The photos illustrate it quite well.
SECOND PLACE, APRIL: I love the way this calls attention to Foster dogs and the second chance that they’re given. The photos show the bond that has developed between the dogs.
BEST PUPPYFESSION, APRIL: That adorable puppy (It looks like a Xolo) is obviously confessing his teething preferences and Bitter Apple can seem like a condiment to some pups. Very funny, realistic, colorful and attractive.
EDITOR’S CHOICE, APRIL: I honestly feel that this month was the best month ever for quality of the Dogfessions -- I could have chosen 15 of them, easily, to win editor’s choice. It was VERY tough to judge this month, but in the end I went for the one that waxed the most philosophical and made me smile. Who isn’t sometimes jealous of their dog’s great attitude? I know I am! -- Nikki

FIRST PLACE, MAY: Yes, our dogs do see us everywhere -- if they could talk, we’d all be in trouble (and possibly very embarrassed)!
HONORABLE MENTION, MAY: Oh so true!
MOST CREATIVE, MAY: Even if you don’t like the show, you can appreciate the humor in this. Genius!
SECOND PLACE, MAY: These animals look so serious, I believe them!
BEST PUPPYFESSION, MAY: This is so cute -- how can you scold a puppy who’s trying to to the right thing?
EDITOR’S CHOICE, MAY: I’ve dressed my boy dog as a girl too. My theory is that he doesn’t know the difference. Maybe he does? -- Nikki
