Dogs in Glasses

, , , , , , , , , , ,



Since I find the act of placing some glasses on a dog to have somewhat amusing results, I bought the domain 'dogspectacle.com' a few years back.

I've paid for the domain each year with the intention to do something with it (or sell it to someone that really wanted it). So, after the success of various sites like Lamebook, DamnYouAutoCorrect and that other LOL-cat site, I spent a day setting up a Flickr group and a blog.

Part of me feels dirty, like I've just set up the Internet equivalent of a pyramid scheme. Another part of me is just curious to see how/if sites like this go viral and can make any money overnight (or over-month).

So, I'm going to work on improving the submissions process for photos (instead of just using Flickr) and see how this goes. In the meantime, let me introduce to you...

http://dogspectacle.com

Please feel free to throw some specs on your dog and snap a shot.

If I make a bunch of money from it, I promise to invest it into something wise and donate to the UK canine charity Dogs Trust.

http://files.myopera.com/Tamil/Smilies/BigGrin.gif - You're right that is amusing.

Sadly all I have is two cats and I think if I tried to put glasses on them the photos would be more suited to myhandshavebeenshredded.com

That is really cute! My favorite is the one with the flamingo glasses. Funny but I've been looking for a flamingo at the thrift stores.

I hope it takes off and makes lots of money for the dogs.

My dog dies a few years back, otherwise I'd be posting

good luck with the business smile

Our dog has a strong tendency for joy jumps, so there would probably be broken spectacles/other objects wink

I have a dog. But no spectacles. What do I do?
