THIS WEB SITE IS GOING TO THE DOGS...
Since I have a long stretch between books this year, and my next book, THE SOCIALITE AND THE BODYGUARD, prominently features a dog show, I'm going to entertain myself and hopefully you with our very own dog beauty contest in the meanwhile!!!
Peanut, our Beagle the Destroyer, is sponsoring the contest with a $50 gift certificate. (She's our second Beagle. We were spoiled by Lucky, the first, who barely ate any of our belongings at all. Peanut is.... Well, obviously it was a mistake to name her after food. Never let a six year old name your dog! Not that the runner up name, Pretzel, would have been better. On the other hand, our neighbors' kids recently named their hamster Chewy...)
Are you ready to show off your little (or big) bundle of home demolisher... err... dog? Please send me a picture of your pooch along with your name + his/her name. Then don't forget to tell all your friends to come and vote!!!! Contest will end on January 31, 2009. The sooner you enter, the more time people have to vote for your darling!
In addition to the grand prize, I'll also raffle off a free book among the lucky damage control managers (e.g. owners) each month.
May the best dog win!
GOOD LUCK!!!!!
One vote per day please.
