Caption This! Dogs Play Around the Christmas Tree

We had about a dozen captions submitted for the photo of a cat fully stretched out in last week's Caption This contest.

The Patch judges awarded title of best caption to John L for his caption: "Hah! This will teach him to pass out on the couch"

Both John and Bonita, who submitted the photo, will get a digital copy of the photo with the caption affixed. You can click on the thumbnail above to see what it looks like.

For next week, we've got a special holiday Caption This with a photo of two dogs perhaps playing peek-a-boo around the Christmas tree. You can start posting your funniest captions in the comments section now.

Here’s how it works:

* In the comments section below, write in your best idea for a funny caption for this photo. Comments must be in by noon Friday.

* The esteemed Patch judges will pick our favorite and announce it Monday, along with a new photo to caption.

* Both the caption writer and the reader who submitted the photo will get an emailed copy of the captioned photo.
