The Caption Game Returns
One of my longtime readers sent in this picture a couple of days ago. Jim from Nebraska told me that the picture was taken at snack time. He had told the girls (that’s Lucy to your right and Asher to the left) to “Suck in your stomachs and look good.” He added that it dawned on him later where the phrase came from and so he had to pass it on. I’m glad he did! I’ve kept it in the inbox ever since because it makes me smile. It seems, therefore, a most natural progression to want to share it with y’all! Now, I think it’d be fun to combine it with our caption game. I’ll go first but I do hope y’all will join in. I do hate it when the blog echos!
“We’re getting a CAT, you say?! WHY?”
*afterthought–
Okay, one comment about bacon tacos and I’ve decided I love this game and hearing your ideas so much that I’m going to prove it. If you leave a comment here on the blog, I’ll put your name in a hat and pull out a winner this evening. That person will get a choice of an ATS book or a t-shirt. How cool is that?! Let the captioning continue.
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.

I know I already entered but wanted to add a funny. My daughter says our dogs are probably sitting and both thinking deep thoughts of…”I know this is the night when they are fixing that plate of human food for me. Just what if tonight is the night..” She thinks they are thinking that every single night as they watch us fix our plates. I felt so sad for them when she told me that, I almost gave them my plate. Almost.
Shellie Rushing Tomlinson
That’s terribly sweet– and sad, too! 🙂 I want to give them my plate!

In case you notice that the garbage can is knocked over, it was the cat. Really. No Really.

Olivia, I’m so sorry about the passing of your husband. I hope you have good memories…Please give Sako and Kimber our best from the All Things Southern community. We’re proud of their manners!
Olivia Hagen
Shellie,
My husband passed away last August from colon cancer but his two dogs, Sako (yellow Lab)and Kimber (black Lab) look exactly like the two in this picture!. He always told them before they got a treat, “Mind your manners” and that is exactly how they would sit and look up at him. I still tell them the same thing before they are fed and they still do “mind their manners”.
Shellie Rushing Tomlinson
Holler! That looks like “green bean stares” to me, too!
Mary yetta Alexander
The vet said to give us green beans but you don’t expect us to eat them do you? Really?

Shellie Rushing Tomlinson
🙂 Y’all are too much fun! Thx for playing, Sandy!
Sandy Steele
Hey, we saw you open the treatie jar ….. now hand over the goodies!
Shellie Rushing Tomlinson
NO! Definitely not too many, my friend, but I’d be hardpressed if I had to choose a fav from those three!
Faye Bryant
“You’ve changed to VEGGIE treats?”
“What do you mean ‘suck in our stomach..’ are you saying we look FAT?”
“You know…taking a girl’s picture without giving her time to get fixed up can be dangerous…”
Too many?
Shellie Rushing Tomlinson
🙂 They are pros at the double dog dare, aren’t they?! THX for playing!

That crumb will never hit the floor! (The look I get every day in the kitchen.)
Shellie Rushing Tomlinson
Excellent, Ann! I’m well acquainted with the look.
Shellie Rushing Tomlinson
🙂 I’m grinning like the Cheshire Cat (of all things!)
Diane
Ebony and Ivory…together in perfect harmony!
Shellie Rushing Tomlinson

Susan H.
You gonna eat all that??? (that’s the same look I get from my dogs when I’m eating.)
Jackie Smith
What do you mean, we’re out of snacks?
Shellie Rushing Tomlinson
Too good! I was just updating this post with the bonus of a drawing so your name is going in the pot. THX for playing!
