I think Ian got the wrong end of the stick with his photo (above) and comment "I know he doesn't look like a dog but the man who sold it to us assured us that he is"
Well thanks a lot Ian. Keep taking the pills.
Anyway, back to the serious business of announcing the winner of the Cutest Canine-on-boat competition. After spending one of my most bizarre and surreal Sunday evenings ever, adding up doggie-votes, I can now reveal the results. Drumroll please...
Sniffing up the rear in fourth place we have Griff's MACIE with a cool 17.5% of the vote. And jolly well done Macie for wearing a jacket.
Closely laying in front of Macie, there's old BORIS, who pulled in a cool 20%, looking like he rules the waterways.
In second place, in front of Boris, DYLAN got an impressive 25%, undoubtedly thanks to his cuddliness.
But the heartiest congratulations go to the leader of the pack, also safety conscious, our number one Cutest Canine, with a massive 37.5% of the entire votes cast, please put your sea-legs together for Mark and Julie's TETLEY.
I remember being five years old and the teacher making each of us in class stand up and say what we wanted to be when we grow up. 'Please Miss', I said. 'I'm going to have a Boat For My Potplants with dogs on it, and astroturf, winter pansies, and a hi-fi, and everything. And I'm going to be a judge for my own doggie competition'.
'Don't be stupid, boy', Teacher said. 'Go and stand outside the Headmaster's study'.
And then I woke up.
Hi Neil,
ReplyDeleteBoris was 16 months old when that pic was taken last autumn. He is still a puppy with growing to do...
