Six-Word Caption Contest #13 (and Winner #12)


SMITH and Shutterfly’s Six-Word Caption Contest continues as we seek your six words that describe the photo you see above. One concise clown will win a gift certificate for $50 for Shutterfly. Leave your six-word caption in the comments area below by 5pm EST this Friday, Dec. 14. Each entry should be separate comment and you can submit up to 10 entries; read the official rules for more details.

Doggonit was it tough to pick a winner among the hundreds of smart and witty puppies this past week who shared six words to describe the playful Christmas scene seen in this blog post. And the winning six is… “Ralph never knew he was adopted,” by H2point0. Thanks to all who got into the spirit of the contest—tis the season to be six-y.
