I won, I won!

Winning Photo

Yeah!!!  I won, I won!  I actually entered a photo contest, made it to the finals and won!  I am so excited!  I want to thank my mommy for taking my picture and helping me submit it to facebook, my family and all my 2 and 4 legged friends, fans and followers for voting for me!  I really have a great crowd behind me and I truly appreciate each and every one of you!  My Kuvasz sister Katie usually wins all the photo contests because humans are looking for beautiful dogs and that she is indeed.  She is even in a calendar this year because she is so pretty.  I’m the family cutie, but

Checking to see if I am really the winner!

business I decided to use the desktop computer with the big monitor so I could see everything better.

Next I went to UpCountry Inc to pick out my new collar.  I was so excited as we have so many collars from them.  They have totally fun designs for any dog or cat!  It was really hard to choose, but I narrowed it down to three and then asked mom for her opinion.  Together we decided on a new design called “sweetie”.  It is fun and summery and I can share it with my

My new collar!

sister if she wants to wear it sometimes as it will look great on both of us!  I placed the order and should have in within a week I think!  I will post a photo of me with it on once it arrives, but in the meantime I am posting a snapshot of it from their website.  Many many paw hugs to my supporters that voted for me, winning a contest is so much fun!  PS – you can’t tell really in my photos because my floppy ears are covering it but I am wearing an UpCountry collar right now, pretty green with squirrels all over it, one of my favs!
