R the Cracker Critter

Cracker Critters
You know who you are...
But just in case. If you tend to run mental fits around even after a brisk walk of 87 miles, if you rip into stuffies like nobody's business, if you go all animal predator if there is even a suggestion of a rodent on the property, or exhibit any other generally nutty behavior, well, then, you ARE a cracker critter.

In the spirit of a true procrastinator, I am nominating R in the Cracker Critter category of Mango Minster on the very last day. A picture says a thousand words so I'll demonstrate R's maniacal energy, zaniness, and overall nuttiness in photos.

Demented (be sure to notice the white of his eye) as he sprinted through a meter of snow:

Howling with the coyotes:

Wriggling in ecstasy after running many miles of trails:

Barking in my face for making him stand still for too many photos:

Jumping out of his skin with energy:

This one speaks for itself (his eyes glowed purple with demented energy):

Anything to get ahead of his sister:

Shaking like a maniac after swimming:

Rolling in the snow like the Cracker Critter that he is:
I think that this series of photos shows that R is a Cracker Critter in every season and at every opportunity. If it pleases the judges, please accept the nomination of R.

Holy crap are those some funny pictures!

I laughed outloud at a few of them.....wide-eyed, tongue flapping in the breeze, slather running from his lips.

Priceless.

Bunny says she's glad she's not judging the Cracker Dog category! R's made a serious case for it!

Jo's World said...

Oh well, this is another story! Up above where you nominate K as a Working Stiff I asked if there was a Playboy category for R. Scrolling down, I realized it should be a Psychotic Playboy instead.

Good luck to you both, in any case!

From all three of us!

R you are the very definition of Cracker Critter! We know the judges will see that too. Good luck in the voting.

Jed and Abby in MerryLand said...

R is a high octane OCD champion cracker dog for sure. And he's cracker in a neighborhood populated by bears and mountain lions and other seriously wild critters, which takes real gumption. Excellent entry. Best of luck in the competition.
