This is too funny! You captured it perfectly. Maybe you should send Martha a copy for her "records." #411828Darren K. Fisher March 07, 2004
I have to agree with Julie I am sure Martha would love a copy. This is such an awesome capture. I know we will see this one again. #412228Susie Peek-Swint March 07, 2004
Great shot Patricia -- love the thread that followed also!! #413004Patricia Marroquin March 07, 2004
Cathy, Kristen, Carolyn, Joy, Bill, Jason, Susan, Murry, Colette, Carol, Evy, Julie, Darren and Susan, thank you all so very much!I'm not so sure this will be among the finalists, and if not, that's OK with me. Your comments mean a lot!
Don't think Martha would appreciate a copy of this for her records. LOL! :-)
Someone told me that one of the tabloids had the funniest lead on this story: "It's curtains for Martha!" LOL! #413078
Peggy Wolff March 22, 2004
This is GREAT! So funny! I just looked at your gallery for the first time and you have so many beautiful images. I hope to be seeing this one again! #440375Patricia Marroquin March 22, 2004
Oh, thank you so much, Margaret! That's very kind of you. This image combines two favorite things for me: dogs (especially Goldens) and newspapers (my profession). :-) #440832Jessica Hughes March 22, 2004
Patricia,Emily Robida March 24, 2004
This is the best, I love it!!!Patricia Marroquin March 24, 2004

Great colors and composition!! Very eye-catching.Patricia Marroquin March 28, 2004
Thank you, Nancy! :-) #451392Jean Papo April 01, 2004
Great shot, Patricia! Very funny, and most appealing too!!! PS I miss Martha's tv show, no matter her guilt/innocence...! (It was funny too) #458555Patricia Marroquin April 02, 2004
Thanks, Jean. I've gotta admit that I miss her show too. It's humorous because it's so hard to believe one person can be that talented. I'm in awe. I love to watch people create things that I could never do myself. That's the appeal of her show. :-) #459128Jean Papo April 02, 2004
Well, maybe she'll be back, a humbler -is that a word?, gentler Martha, haha! #459131Jean Papo April 12, 2004

So glad to see this here! I hope you win first place with it, it is a photo with great color, a great idea, very funny, great DOF, and a great angle. And of course shows the times, which I love to see in photos. I am routing for you! #476731Claudia Kuhn April 12, 2004
Good one! Congrats!! #476905Susan T. Parady April 12, 2004
I'm glad to see this in the finals, Patricia, it is very clever and well shot! Congratulations! #476957Patricia Marroquin April 12, 2004
Hi, Jean, Kasia, Kath, K, Margaret, Claudia and Susan. Thank you!Although I set this shot up, Bixby really does retrieve the newspaper each day. The Star is easy for him to bring in; but the Los Angeles Times can sometimes be a challenge, and he definitely can't get the whole Sunday Times in his mouth! LOL!
Margaret, that is such a compliment, thank you very much! #477462
Carol Brill April 12, 2004

Congrats Patricia! This is hilarious! #479514Patricia Marroquin April 12, 2004
Thank you, Carol, Colette, Stephen, Murry, Bill and Dale!Carol, I'm an enabler -- I give tubby Bixby more treats than I should, much to my husband's dismay. So he gets rewarded every day. :-) #479715
