Did I mention narrowing the 26 entries down to five was tough? Did I mention I was overwhelmed with the number of entries received? Yes, I mentioned both those facts.
Now, let me tell you I was thrilled to see the number of votes received. Close to 100 people voted in my Dog Gone Good Contest! Nearly 100!
Thank you so much for playing, Kids. I am grateful. Alas, this is not about me, is it? Dang. I kinda like having the spotlight. Oh well, today the spotlight belongs to one dog gone cute pooch!
The two legged owner of this pooch wins a free pint of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream (seriously). And the pooch? The pooch wins a donation to her favorite animal charity.
Without further ado, please give a round of applause to Penny. Penny was voted Top Dog. And yes, that is a tiara on her head.
Steve, please email me your mailing address, and let me know Penny’s animal charity of choice.
Once again, I’d like to thank all the puppies for playing. If you didn’t catch the movie the first time, here’s another chance.

Big congrats to Steve! I just loved his photo!
Kinda awesome, eh? Penny seems like a very cool pup.
Reggie’s hat is off to a beautiful pooch. That Penny looks like she’s having a blast. Congrats to Steve!
It takes a cool dog to recognize another cool dog. I think Penny and Reggie would be best buds. Congrats to Reggie for making it to the top 5!
Love this joyful photo. Congratulations to Penny and her owner Steve.
Thank you, Georgette. Doesn’t she look so very happy?
Congrats, Steve and Penny. Shelby would like to know if Penny can come over to play.
Lenore, I’ll send Shelby’s contribution straight to Noah’s Ark. That will save me from mailing you a check. Shelby thanks you for recognizing the important role our furry family members play in our lives.
k8edid — Penny says she’s ready to play any time, any where!
Thank you again, Katy (and Shelby) for contributing to Noah’s Ark. Your money will be put to wonderful use.
YAY for Penny!! She’s going to get extra treats this morning!! Love her tiara!!!
The tiara looks so natural on her.
Congrats, Steve and Penny!
A Penny for Lenore’s Thoughts.
Nice shot, Steve!
Ha! Good one, Dramedy.
AWESOME. I picked a winner.
You have good taste like that, Linda.
Congrats to Steve and Penny.
What a great idea Lenore Diane. Lotte has made a contribution to the SPCA here – she thinks she won and I won’t tell her otherwise. :
Lotte is a winner in my eyes, Judith. Thank you for making a donation to your local area SPCA.
Congrats!!! Awesome shot!! All beautiful dogs and wonderful pet lovers for sharing them. Thanks for the contest – it was fun to be part of it!
I am really happy you were a part of it Katy. Thank you so very much!
