vote for ellie!

it has been quite rainy here in austin of late, so my dog ellie has been sporting her yellow rain slicker quite a bit. she really hates to go out in the rain without it. anyhow, she looks ever so charming in it, so i decided to take a few pictures of her.

i was informed of the "Pet of the Month" contest at KXAN, a local news station here in austin. well, i sent in one of the rain slicker pics for June's Pet of the Month contest. i found out this morning that she made it as a finalist! people at the news station picked the top five pictures to post on their website. then, the public decides the winner by voting on-line. the rules are pretty strict. only one vote per computer. drat! i can't vote for my kiddo every day!

anyhow, if you haven't done so already, feel free to cast a vote her way. just go to www.kxan.com, scroll down to the pet guide, and then vote in the june contest!

here's hoping she wins!
