Dear Twinkie on Tuesday, October 5th
I can't describe what this contest meant to me. Sure, many of you are aware that it was a lot of work, but work is easy when it's fun. Speaking of FUN, that was the general consensus. I have read that word over and over again, and that and some dog caffeine, kept me going with a big smile under my whiskers. I got several emails stating that getting the Show Us Your Tongue posts together was a lot of fun! That's like paying me in a million dog treats! I thank you all.
I have a bit of 'splaining I want to do. One of the participants emailed their pet photos and added, "I hope this brings traffic to your site." This made me stop and think for a moment. These past few days, I've been pushing out of my mind a disturbing thought: I am not posting links to your blogs with this event. Of course, I never said I would, since this was a contest for any pet that wanted to participate, regardless of whether on not they had a blog. I do want to bring traffic to my site, don't we all? I would never, in my teacup chihuahua honor though, try to fool anybody. The proof is through GABE (the Global Animal Blogging Event). All the links are still up, and they will stay up for as long as it's within my power. One more thing. I think most of you know by now that Dear Twinkie, my Tuesday dog advice column "gives" links. I hope this answers evereybody's questions. It is all done in good faith in the animal blog-dom, or so I want to believe.
I thank you again for your entries, encouraging comments, and incredible support! I couldn't have done it without you and your tongues!
Now let's see who the lucky Yöghund winners are going to be . . .

We can't imagine how much work this was. Just picking five doggies to vote for is almost making our brains explode. We don't mind about the links. We also don't care about winning or losing. It's all just been fun and thank you so much for doing all the work on this party.

Wow - what a huge response. We are going to have to wait until we come off vacation to review all of the pictures and vote (that incredibly slow internet thing).
ReplyDeleteVoting is fun!
ReplyDeleteSonic
I apprecitate your wonderful idea and time that went into this contest.
ReplyDeleteI entered our pups for fun and a moment to show off them off. Enjoy! xo
Twinkie we do think it is so much fun! And well, especially as cats, we really did just enter for the fun of it. Not that we wouldn't like to win (we have doggie cousins who would love the treat) but well, with all the doggies entering we know that our odds are slim - but hey, that doesn't make it any less fun for us - plus we love to see all the pictures! Especially when we go "hey, we know them!"
ReplyDeleteOh my cats Twinkie...you and mom must be crossed eyed after posting all those pictures....
ReplyDeleteGood grief is is going to be heard to vote....so many long tongues, short tongues, curly tongues, wet tongues, speckled tongues.....
Madi and Mom

~lickies, Ludo
Thanks for hosting a great contest! You my dear are one popular pup....look at all those tongues!
ReplyDeleteI do have a question..... and I'm afraid I might be a little thick here since it doesn't look like anyone else has questions. BUT, on the 5 votes we are allowed, does that include like grandma and other human friends? Or do they each get 5 votes? Does that even make any sense? I'm waiting for your answer before voting ;o)
You rock, girl!
Snuggles,
Twix
Look at all those cute photos...WOW!
