The great pleasure of dogs is that you make a fool of yourself with them and not only will they not scold you, they will make fools of themselves too.

-- Samuel Butler

WE HAVE VOTED FOR THE CUTEST DOG(S)-IN-COSTUME PHOTO! TOTAL FUNDS RAISED FOR CRUSA CAIRNS: 2,909(!!) USD = 2,965 CAD = 1,814 GBP = 2,957 AUD GOAL FOR 2010 WAS 2800 USD ANONYMOUS DONATED HAS ALL PAYPAL FEES & SHIPPING COSTS, SO **EVERY** DOLLAR GOES TO CRUSA CAIRNS IN NEED! We had a very unusual situation this year, in that FIRST and THIRD PLACE were won by dogs in the same family, as was FOURTH PLACE . . . so, in the generosity that is so typical of Chipper & Biskee Potter and Cobalt Willet, they have donated prizes back so that others may know the fun of choosing prizes this year . . . Chipper can be seen HERE Biskee can be seen HERE Cobalt can be seen HERE Tobi & Loren write: We thank everyone who voted for Chip, Bisk & Cobalt. It's such a fun contest. All the prizes are so nice and we're very grateful, and are quite happy to see a couple of other cute dogs win, too. We hope it "makes their day."
