Hey ! I just followed the directions and put a photo of my puppies on flickr. :D hope i did it right.
what if the photo contains a cat AND a dog? (snuggling)
If your photo contains both a cat and a dog, you can tag it as “naturecats” and “naturedogs” – no problem!
Well I uploaded my photos. Now I just have to figure out about the contest. Unless it enters you after you did your photos and profile. It was Fun to do.
Animals are my Best Friends.
Have taught Sophie to sit (very easy) but she refuses to learn down and stay. Any tips?
You wrote: “Make sure your settings allow people to download your photos. You can do this in your “Account,” under “Privacy and Permission.” ”
Do you have to have a paid acct on Flickr for people to be able to download the pictures?
Isn’t Gracie the cutest!
Interesting show. DOGS RULE! Now, how do I get to meet one of the three cute single guys???
I think I sent too many photos to the group from flickr … how do I recall pics and send correct photos? thx
We just loved looking at other cats. people love them so much. My girls, Mag & Bridg are loved to but dont want to show up the others, Red tabbies are that way you know! But they liked to check out the kids next door cats will be cats!
[...] far. So, I was surprised to find an email waiting for me in my in-box the next morning regarding a PBS photo contest for dogs and cats where you can win a dvd of the show for yourself – not bad! Go here for [...]
Your doc was gorgeous! I’m a dog person, but your film actually got me loving cats.
Jerry and his humans were perfectly perfect. I cried so much I had to take an allergy pill. Or maybe that was because of newly loving cats.
Just wondering, though, why I couldn’t submit the max of 3 pics to the contest? I dragged 3 to the “send to group” direction on my FlickR page and all I see is one pic in the Nature group. The photo I see is called LucyBushes_1.jpg. What did I do wrong? Thanks a lot. Your film got me to join FlickR also. Big success, that movie. Now I’m going to read Jerry’s full story. I love him.
Will this contest be held again in the future? I have two fabulous pics of my cat (caramel colored shorthair) drinking out of the toilet (UGH! he loved to do it, tho) and the fuzzy toilet seat cover matches him exactly! All you see really is his big rear end. The other is the same kitty (his name was Marko) curled up between the front outstretched paws of the black poodle who lived upstairs (tenant’s pup). Both of them were looking at the camera and smiling! But I cannot find those pics at the moment!
I posted some pics but cannot see them on the page. Does this mean it did not work?
I absolutley loved this show . It stuck me from such an honest and loving point of view concerning the wonderful love we get from and give to animals .
Please show it again.

Iforgot to tag my photo “naturecats.” How do I go back and tag it?
Log in to Flickr, go to your Photostream, click the photo you want to edit, then “add a tag” in the right column.
How do you make PBS.Nature Flickr account your “Friend” or “Family” to allow downloads? I went to contacts, but I do not have their email address.
To add PBS.Nature as a contact on Flickr, visit our profile here: http://flickr.com/photos/18290142@N08/
Then, near the top of the page, click “Add PBS.Nature as a contact”
No photo could tell you why I love my dog. You’d need an essay contest for that.
Thank You for your fast and clear directions. I appreciate your help. PBS.Nature is now a friend and family member. As I type this note of appreciation, my cat (Wilson T. Scrumpmeyer) is helping me by licking my hand. Once again, thank you.
When will you be announcing the winners?
Winners will be announced no later than Monday, March 16. Stay tuned!
It’s too bad I didn’t find out about this program until today. I had some great cat photos! I watched in online because my brother (who is watching my cat while I’m away) told me about it the other day and said it was great! I completely agree! Please let me know if there is another one in the future.
boogie, you can still submit your photos to the Flickr group!
omg! that cat shows me that Im such as crazy!!!!!!
When are you going to do another dog contest..
