And the weiner is...

While watching SNL last night, brain churning, riding a sugar high from having eaten a Dunkin Donuts apple fritter the size of my head; a faint bulb ignited as I noticed the date in my taskbar.

It's freebie time!

Inspiration to invest time and effort in this journey comes from two sources: the dogs, and you, the kind reader. While I can reward the critters at will, something tells me a peanut butter stuffed Kong is not quite the ticket when it comes to recognizing our loyal human friends.

And because so many of you have made this a rewarding experience for us, I'm breaking the rules (as always) and picking two winners this month.

Congrats to:

Chester's Mom - And Chester likes paper, so maybe we are just sending him a snack :)
and
Dughallmor Beagles - Looks like I'm in for some international shipping charges, but they are well worth it :)

Please drop me a line at lneilb at gmail.com with a shipping address - home, work, even a PO box is fine.

And my sincerest thanks to each of you for making this an incredibly rewarding experience.

We'll draw again early in February before changing the prize to mix things up! And watch for a post in the near future which describes the random, if somewhat bizarre means by which winners are selected.

Be well...

  1. Why do I get the feeling the random, bizarre means of choosing winners involves some sort of canine intuition mojo?

    Congrats to Chester's Mom and Dughallmor Beagles! :)

  17. Congratulations to the winners! Hey, but my Jeannie is so slow she did not realise there was a competition!!!!!

    Never mind she is perhaps a human of little brain, just like Pooh Bear it seems. Well, except obviously she is not a bear. Dear me, I get confused sometimes, this blogging lark does my paws in sometimes!

  18. I am still in shock and awe that we have been picked as wieners. I for one am Ok w/a peanut butter filled Kong (as long as it is Jif) and Chester will be more than thrilled to eat the envelope it comes in. We have both been hooked ever since you gave Nigel the turd hat and that story has been copied, printed and emailed to all my high-falutin' friends who "get" that kind of humor. Thanks again for the laughs we get from the tales that ooze from inside your noggin'(you know, the one the size of a Dunkin donuts fritter). Chester is all wiggly w/excitement and would like to thank all his adoring fans and appreciates their comments.

  30. Congrats to the winners. How cool to have drawings like this. I hope I win one day. I love reading about your dogs. I'm glad when I see my mom reading about them because that makes her not so mad at Spud, Hoppy and me when we do goofy things. Love, Sally
