I win!

Originally uploaded by olmikeydog

I won a contest! I think this is my first win at anything, well except for a few first place finishes in obedience. (I am very smart)

Anyway, mom entered me the "Green Pet" contest that Petco.com was having. I got selected as a finalist! Weee! The prize was a $100 certificate for Petco.com, and since I already have, like, three of everything except maybe bully sticks (I could use some more of THOSE), we decided to give it to Central California Labrador Retriever Rescue instead. Then mom decided she would match it!

All my friends and their moms who do rescue thought this was a GREAT idea, and they all voted for me! AND I WON!

So homeless Labbies will be getting a little something very soon.

Thanks to all who voted for me!

And thank YOU PETCO! (It IS where us dudes go!)

Ki is trying to round up that darn hose. He figures if he circles it enough times, it will get intimidated.

I am sitting the in shade, watching.

Seriously, he circled it, like 30 times. Made me dizzy.

Ki has a body just like a coyote now. He is so wolfish compared to the solidly built Labs. (Ed.: We are built to FLOAT!)

Guess which one I am? (hint: I am not the Golden Retriever on the left)

From left, the Labs are: Vito-lucci, ME!, Flash, and Arson. Flash and Arson are also therapy dogs and are wearing their vests. Lucy Lab had gone off to the bathroom but she was coming right back.

Thursday Funnies

Okay, I haven't posted in a while. That was pointed out to me by @bcrescuemom. My excuse? Um, training little Ki and Splash, petting Jewel, grooming dogs, going to the gym to be tortured by MY trainer, taking care of the house and yard, and then, you know sleeping and working pretty much fills up my day.

Anyhow, this study by the CDC just cracked me up. They forgot to count the perfect "take-down" Ki and Splash did on me the other day though.
