Ok, not my dog. J’s dog, Buddy:
He emailed me today to tell me about the Humane Society of the United States’ Spay Day pet photo contest. He submitted a picture of Buddy, and he asked me (and some other people) to vote for him. I did, of course, because how do you not love that face? He also asked if I would publicize the contest on my blog and urge you to vote for Buddy, and I am happy to oblige.
If you’re so inclined, please go here, enter Buddy in the search box using Pet Name as the search option and then click search (that part’s important; it doesn’t work – at least for me – to just hit enter). Then find the Buddy that looks like the one above – when I searched this way, J’s Buddy was the second one down in the first column on the left on the first page of Buddys – and click “vote for me.” (There’s an easier way, but I’m not comfortable giving you J’s last name so you can search by pet owner.) You’ll have to enter an email address because you can only vote for Buddy once, but they won’t send you any junk mail if you don’t check the box. It’s that easy!
J said something in his email about Buddy trailing a pitt bull by only 2500 votes. I say, no problem. Hit it.
ETA: Voting ends March 7!
