Dedicated Flower Friday

Gosh! With all the excitement going on over at Mango Minster it seems like the week has flown by! I have a feeling there has been some celebrating going on here and there.....

I would again like to say a special Thank You to Mango, Mango Momma, all the sponsors, and all the competitors. You guys make MM fun!
Mango Momma, I know you have spent a lot of time working on this and it does not go unnoticed. In appreciation of your hard work, I am dedicating this week's Flower Friday to you.

Enjoy!

Well, we are getting more snow (gasp!) and you know how happy that makes me....Not!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Wonderful Wednesday

This photo is actually from Saturday but I still feel wonderful when I look at it!

We actually got some sun last weekend! I can't remember the last time I got to sit in the sun and you know how much I love that! It wasn't terribly warm but Mom was kind enough to leave the front door open for me. Maybe I should be a little nicer to her, what do ya think?

To My Loyal Fans

I just couldn't believe it when Mom told me I won "Reader's Choice" at Mango Minster 2010. There were so many great hounds competing it still just blows my mind! Thank you so much to each and every one of you that voted for me. I am greatly touched.

Let me set the scene for you.....

Mom comes home from work, brings in the groceries (nothing in there for me), puts the groceries away, and then gives me my daily treat. Just normal stuff. Nothing special, right? Then she boots up the computer and quickly checks Mango Minster and sees that I won. She came into the living room to tell me and sees me napping under my covers. 

She yanks the covers off me and wakes me up. 

"Twix, why are you sleeping? Your public has spoken!"

Huh? What? 

What in the world are you talking about? 

You really have lost your marbles haven't you? 

I don't know what she was expecting me to do. 

I wasn't hearing any food being opened in the kitchen.

"Twix, you won Reader's Choice at Mango Minster!"

*Shocked*

I'm not sure I heard that correctly.....she assured me I did.

Oh, my, I'm feeling faint.....

Next, the Pupparatzi showed up....

I had to give my adoring public what they were waiting for.....

Ok, enough already! 

Stop, please stop!

One more? Ok....but only of my paw. 

I'm certain my cute feeties are what cinched the win for me.

Thank you to all who voted for me. I am honestly stunned!

As Frankie Furter said.....

I'm a Winner Wiener!

;o)

Onto the news about the actual competition part:

The judges came into the ring first. Don't Martha and Bailey look totally fab? Um, I'm not quite sure what to say about Mango though. You don't suppose he was pranked do you?

Winner of 3rd place was,,, 

Groucho.

Winner of 2nd place was,,,

Shasta.

And first place goes to.....

Bunny.

A true hound if I ever saw one!

Now, get over there and vote for your favorite in the Herding Group!

Also, stop by Mango Minster to view all the judging results and to get links to all the competitors and judges.

Its Time!

The time has come! The time to vote!

Mango Minster has started and it is time to vote for your favorite hound dog (me)!

In case you don't remember I entered the hound group with this photo as a Chow Hound!
(as in, I love to eat, give me food!)

Look how cute I am! 

I am certainly not trying to sway votes in my favor
but how can you resist?

A Tardy Flower Friday

I'm sorry to be so late with Flower Friday today. 

I don't even have a good excuse....I think I will have to talk to my typist (yes, Mom, thats you!) about this.
 Now,  if only I could think of a good punishment......

I thought even though it was late everyone needed
to have Flower Friday to remind us to
"THINK SPRING"!

Hoping you have a wonderful weekend!

A Friend's Giveaway

Sharon at Sharon's Paws Create was one of the winners of my first giveaway. Now she is having a giveaway to celebrate some of her firsts: first giveaway won, first year of blogging, first giveaway hosted. She is also celebrating her followers and commentors.

Sharon is an artist and she has some great photos and paintings on her blog. To enter her giveaway all you have to do is leave a comment on this post. I think she is ending her giveaway at the end of the month so you better hurry and check it out. She's got a great picture and painting she is giving away.

Speaking of paws, I was impressed with the amount of feet freaks out there! Yes, I have Frito Feet too. I thought Mom was crazy enough without telling you she says my feet smell like Frito's.
Bijou said her mom tells her her feet stink when they start smelling like Frito's and makes her take a bath.....can you imagine? What kind of house of horrors is going on there?
It seems that most doggies have Frito Feet....Mom thought it was a doxie thing. Besides Bijou's comment, another interesting thing I learned about all our moms is that our feet smell better than theirs do.
One other interesting thing.....Twinkie's mom has a thing about dog butts and is always taking pics of them. Fortunately, Twink said she has never seen her Mom sniff them! Maybe we can get Twink's mom to post some of her doggie booties for us. Who knows, maybe there are other closet dog butt freaks out there, just like all the closet feet freaks I found.
Maybe I should post about embarassing things more often....I'm learning tons of things about your moms....some good and some not so good!
For you Feet Freaks, I have given you another photo of mine.

Maybe I will have to start posting my feeties more often.....what do ya think?

Wordless Wednesday

Toes on Tuesday

My mom has this thing about paws.

She is constantly taking pictures of mine.

She sniffs them too.

Then she says they smell good.

I think she stopped taking that medication the doctor gave her......
