It’s officially past 10am PST/1pm EST, so the submission deadline for Dog-a-palooza has passed and now it’s time to select the winner of our BIG FRIGGIN PRIZE. Since I know the nature of the BFP has been a subject of great debate (you materialistic stuff-mongers you) here’s the scoop – the winner will get a $25 gift certificate to Best in Show, a gourmet pet crap store I walked past this morning on the way to work. That’s $0.05 more than you’d need to get a stylish DOG TUXEDO.
I am a big believer in the wisdom of the masses (not really, but let’s go with that for now) so will let the random lurkers and spambots that visit this site decide on the winner. We’re all Diebold up in here so you can vote as many times as you like with no paper trail to come back to bite ya.
All nine entries can be found en masse, or individually below (in reverse order to counterbalance the recency bias). Vote in the comments, and don’t vote for your own (unless you’re really that desperate for the tux).
Forced Hug
Grandpa Jon Charms GoonDog
Puppy Kisses
Contemplating (People Food) Cookout
The Winning Shot
Doll Dog
Best for the End of dog-a-palooza
MNH, a Wildcat at Heart
One more, blue eye
Um. Hello? For those of us on the East Coast, said gift certificate locale is less than ideal.
I vote for a new prize! BFP!
The Prize Committee will take up your suggestion at their next meeting.
My vote is for Puppy Kisses because I’m a sucker for wag-a-tail blur.
I vote for “Moon Doggy” as a meritorious entry before dog-a-palooza was even on the horizon.
I would also like to point out that those of us without access to Maija were at a distinct disadvantage in dog-a-palooza.
I further vote for a Lee-a-palooza to counterbalance the dog-a-palooza and the ever increasing number of Steven PTD.
ps. judgment doesn’t have an “e” after the judg-
In addition, I think the exception model-and-dog combo in Puppy Kisses should also contribute to its overall point total.
If I vote for you, will you buy the tuxedo?
It occurs to me now that I should have called it Mai-ja-palooza. Huh.
And, Allison. I’ll sell my prize use autonomy for a vote, sure. If you ever make it out here, that’s what she’ll be wearing.
If we’re going to get technical (and I am): one more, blue eye is the best photo. But, she’s cutest in The Winning Shot. However, if we’re opening it up to PAST mmmja shots…there are other, better, cuter ones to vote for.
Okay, well if I can’t vote for my own (and I clearly think “The Winning Shot” is the best), then I will split my votes between: 1. Doll Dog (cause it is really cute). 2. Puppy Kisses (because I look cute) 3. Forced Hug (because Steve looks cute)
Holla!
I like turtles.
I’d have to say: one more, blue eye is the best photograph, but my fav lies with Puppy Kisses
I’m voting for Obama!
#1. I say Puppy Kisses!!
#2. Doll Dog which required much work !
#3. Granpa Jon Charms GoonDog because Grandpa Jon is so cute!!
If I win you all get a “Rich Reward!”
VOTING IS CLOSED. Please see the results.
