Bribery Scandal Taints Dog of the Week Contest! Gasp!
In the great scheme of things, this doesn't even make the radar. But of course since my dogs are affected, it's made mine.
Apparently the leader in the Dog of the Week contest (by nearly double the next closest contestant) is running their own little contest, offering a prize to people who report that they had voted for...their dog. When I saw their vote count double overnight, I Googled "vote for theirdogsname" and there was their contest. And the 2nd place folks, who were in first until the side-contest started, have figured it out as well, and written an email reporting it to the sponsor of the contest. Apparently this is a violation of the contest rules. In the end, no matter who wins, a shelter somewhere will get a free dog bed and that's a good thing. But the "scandal" just leaves me shaking my head! Meanwhile, I am dutifully casting my daily votes for Rosie & Tess!  If you are so inclined, please join me and VOTE (again) HERE! I should be bribing yall with Porsche Porn... All the pretty Porsches at Franz Blam Racing (Tucker, GA) when I visited last week...

No link, you need to make it easy for us. I voted, but it taxed be a bit.
I think PPOT has worked some magic before on things like this. Good luck. Can we vote every day?

Yes, it says 1 vote per ISP per day. I saw some folks post that they had rolling ISPs and could reconnect and vote several times. Not that I would suggest such a tactic. I'm all for some Pelican magic!

Voting ends at midnight tonight. If they address the "scandal" the 2nd place dog may take the prize. But the gaps are huge - 950 votes for P1, 550 for P2, and we have 245 at last check. We're hanging in there. Thanks for your support!

Rooney is quite the dapper little fellow! Adorable
The contest sponsor has declared Sheba the winner, with close to 1000 votes. Sawyer (dearly departed) was P2 with around 500, and Rosie & Tess came in P3 with about 250. Thanks again, yall! Now back to my regularly scheduled Porsche-related insanity!
