The competition is heating up and we are continuing to move up in the rankings - thanks to YOU all. There are about 20 days left in the competition, and the time has come to develop a new strategy. Any suggestions? Preferably ones that incorporate elements on how NOT to lost friends or make enemies by entering one's dog, into a competition, winning through sharing, and how to make winning F U N.
Ideas welcome! Votes welcome too! Just in case it's not handy...http://www.fidocastingcall.ca/dogs/11847!

Well, hello!
After months of inaction, I have been jolted into acting on a contest! Amazing! I am such a NON-CONTEST person, yet here I am, heralding and championing Chaucer as the (hopeful) new Face of Fido.
Forget for a moment that I am not a Fido subscriber, and that this, in all likelihood, will not change. Forget too, that some of the aspects of this competition - and believe you me - it's getting fierce out there - are a bit murky - like exactly how many votes has each dog secured? How much money has Fido raised for Canada Dog Guides? And, if we are currently ranked 1400 ish, how are we ever going to make it to Number 1 in just 20 days?
BY VOTING every day. By sharing the excitement of watching the rankings improve, day by day, hour by hour. By sharing Chaucer's profile and encouraging others to vote- and hey! not just Chaucer! Jamon, Helen's puppy, is in the contest and so is Zero, Jennifer's dog. Vote for them, after all, each vote secures a $1 donation to Canada Dog Guides, and delivers a frisson of excitement to all participants.

Chaucer on the Mend
After a real scare last Thursday night, Chaucer is now recovering at Dad's house from bloat, a twisted gut, and major abdominal surgery. Our house-calling vet, Dr Shannon Whatman, recommended we take him to the Hopital Veterinaire Rive Sud where Chaucer was admitted and received superior care. He was so admired and well-behaved, that not only was his name changed to Chester, but he was also called "Doll." Luckily, he is nothing if not dignified, so all of this was perfectly ok.
Bloat and twisted gut. Horrible. Thank God Dad noticed Chaucer wasn't feeling right, and that Shannon told me where to go, that there was no traffic, no delays ..and the list of gratitude could go on. And believe me, I am GRATEFUL that my boy is alive and doing well. He even managed a little hop, butt wiggle and head duck and dive today when I visited. We hope to be back at the dog run soon - within the next 10 days or so.
