The Rest Of The Story - Wyatt's Prize Winning Moment!

Wyatt giving his winning check to his favorite shelter!

Sometimes things just slip my mind! This post was one that got away from me - but needs to be here to complete the cycle of the dog photo contest.


Sweet Wyatt, I am so sorry I forgot to post this! I am scratching my head..no not fleas...just confusion...that I overlooked posting you giving your prize money to your favorite shelter.


So, here are the two photos and a short wagging "tale" of good fortune!


From March 23rd : Sue writes about Wyatt!

We took the check down to Project Pooch, with Wyatt in tow. The staff at Project Pooch were very thankful and loved the idea of the photo contest. We gave them an 8 x 10 glossy of his winning photo. They will be including it in their next newsletter. Wyatt was jumping all over and trying to eat the check...not our best photo shoot! Wyatt is getting so used to going into places, shopping and getting treats and hugs from everyone, he needs a refresher course on manners!

This week he was in the front seat of the truck, while I was putting a big bag of dog food behind the seat. He jumped out and ran towards the entrance of the store. I called him, he looked back briefly and then bolted through the front entrance, when the automatic doors opened. When I caught up to him, he was standing in the aisle with the rawhide bones and dog treats. (Everyone in the store was laughing) .......


Wyatt is such a great dog! Visit Wyatt's blog!


Now, as Paul Harvey would have said, 'you have the rest of the story!'

And remember to vote for your favorite dog photo here! Contest ends in a few days.

I will let Julie tell you about Cuda:

Our Story

Cuda is a congenital miracle who somehow survived and ended up in our family when she was five months old.  She was given to us at a gas station by a couple who had said they rescued her.  Upon examination you can see that she bears several obvious traits of an inbred dog, including a fused neck, curved spine, hunched back, hocked rear legs and an exaggerated under bite.  She has received a clean bill of health and continues to thrive, playing with our other dogs and cats.  Our goal is to promote the awareness pit bull tolerance, inbreeding, line breeding and overpopulation.

The Impact

By taking Cuda to the World's Ugliest Dog Contest in Petaluma California in June 2011 we hope to make the public aware of the ramification of overpopulation of animals, risks associated with Inbreeding and pit bull tolerance.

Entry in Photo Contest #9 Siblings Wilbur and Cherokee

Two dogs on this contest post!

We rescued Wilbur and Cherokee in November 2002. These brother and sister pups were found under the steps of my office. We named the black one Wilbur, because he would grunt like a pig when you were holding him. We named the reddish brown one Cherokee, because they were found on Cherokee St.

Wilbur and Cherokee are the best of siblings. And Cherokee takes very good care of her brother, Wilbur, by cleaning him on a regular basis. As I type, the two are sleeping side by side on their dog beds. Where one goes - the other one must follow.

Thank you for having this photo contest. We'd love to win and have $300 donated to Pick of the Litter, a rescue center near Dallas, GA.

Regards,
Lenore Meeks

Photo Contest Entry #8 Rookie the Dalmation

Hi, I'm Rookie the Dalmatian and I loooove my next-door neighbor, Savannah. She gives great hugs and love! Whenever I get the chance to play, I make a beeline toward her door and bark until I see her smiling face. I think she looks an awful lot like me - don't you? I think we might be twins!

Entry # 6 Ziva, The Golden Retriever From Maine

Hello from Maine,

I'm Ziva, a 2 1/2 year old Golden Retriever from the Coast of Maine. I go everywhere with my Daddy in his truck and I especially love swimming. But living in such a rural area limits my chances to meet other canines from around the world. Fortunately, Daddy lets me use his computer to check out the handsome hounds on some of the Canine Dating sites. We are very careful because we have found out that some of these unscrupulous dogs don't always tell the truth on their profile page. There is no way that a dog can be a multi-millionaire international spy, live in a mansion in Miami and drive a Ferrari.

So a word to all of you pups that surf the web. Better to be safe than sorry.

Sorry, I don't Twitter or Text, no thumbs, you know.

Love to you all,
                                        Ziva Skakle
                                        Stockton Springs, Maine

PS: Here I am with my older sister Baby!

How Bad am I? In my Michael Jackson hat and sunglasses.
