BUDDY IS A FINALIST!!!

That's right, thanks to you, our Buddy is now a finalist in the dog show contest featured on Ric Peterson's Dog Show on CJAD! From over two hundred entries, the Budster made it to the top twelve. You can see all twelve finalists HERE

So, I'm asking for your support one more time to carry our boy all the way home to a win.

Vote the same way as last time:

Put "Buddy P." in the subject field of your email and send it to dogshow@cjad.com

(Unless you see a cuter dog, in which case you should follow your conscience and vote for that dog. Buddy can handle it. He might have a bit of a sniffle in his dog bed, but he'll get over it as soon as you can say "wake up and smell the kibble.")

ONLY ONE VOTE WILL BE COUNTED. And that's it.

Voting ends at midnight Friday February 13th so get to it!

Whoo Hoo! Look at our little guy go!

Buddy Needs Your Vote!!

Our local radio station, CJAD, is having a dog contest and Buddy needs your help.

That's right. Buddy is now entered in a dog popularity contest where people are asked to vote for Most Popular Dog. As you know, The Budster is awesome in every way. (Except for wigging out when left alone and assuaging his frayed nerves by shredding Kleenex. And swallowing thongs. And eating squirrels whole. And his breath smells like a corpse pulled out of a swamp. Other than that he's perfect.)

Now, as a rule, I don't enter a lot of contests (well, Pioneer Woman's are amazing) or support beauty pageants, for humans or canines. I would never, say, make The Budster wear a tiara and prance about onstage, unless of course he wanted to. There is a strong possibility he might because this is a dog who loves wearing dog clothes. When he sees his 100% wool, argyle patterned turtleneck sweater being pulled out of his pile of canine couture, he's got his head shoved into it before you can say Alpo. He likes dressing like a human, and if he could wriggle into clothes by himself, he'd be prancing around in Poochy Gucci every morning. (See here for a refresher.) This is a dog who puts the "king" in the King Charles Spaniel.

So, here we are in this contest, with the goal of creating a calendar to support our local animal shelter, so how can we say no to that? Now here's you all come in, and your part is easy peasy.

If you want to see the other dogs (and really, why would you, but in the interest of fair play, I'll give 'em to you) they're at cjad.com on Ric Peterson's page. There are three Youtube videos, and Buddy's is on the third one titled Ric Peterson Dog Show Part 3 at the 3:17 mark.) Go HERE.

Or, if you want to take the easy route, you can look at his photo below, know in your heart that there can't possibly be another, cuter dog than this guy, and just vote for him.


All you have to do is this.

Send an email to dogshow@cjad.com and put "Buddy P." in the subject line.

That's it!

That's all you have to do to register a vote. It has to be in by Monday to count. You're only allowed to vote once, so tell your friends. Come on. Support the SPCA by voting for Buddy!

Oh, and if he wins, we can't tell him. If you think he's insufferable now....

Thanks for your support! I know I can count on you guys!
