PATIENCE

A WORD, PLEASE: PATIENCE

So many of you are playing along with our word game, “A Word, Please.” We’re at over 100 submissions! Keep ‘em coming. (See below for details.)

Back to having fun for this week’s word: PATIENCE.

This one came together fast. What is an absolute embodiment of patience? A dog balancing a treat on its nose, waiting for permission to enjoy. After that, it was a matter of finding the right image (zoom in on those eyes!) and creating the fictitious Dog Day Afternoons Doggy Day Care with its tagline, “Stay. Play. Nap. Repeat.” Ruff life, eh?

As a reminder, this is a fake ad. What we do with real ones will put a smile on your face, too.
