Bloggie Doggies: And the Winners Are . . .

First and foremost, thank you to everyone who participated in this year’s Bloggie Doggie Awards by nominating and/or voting. I’m sure all the dogs involved are happy to have had your support.

Erin and I spent the weekend tabulating the votes and casting our own votes (Note: I was the last to vote, and in one particular category there was a tie between Ben and Ted [RA's dog, not Erin's husband]. I want it to be known that I chose not to vote in this category as I feared my vote would be biased. I went to Erin with my dilemma, and we agreed that the best solution would be to have a completely unbiased party cast the tie-breaking vote. Ted [Erin's husband, not RA's dog] came through for us by carefully examining the two “finalists” and choosing his favorite. Thanks, Ted, for helping us keep the Bloggie Doggies fair!)

And the Bloggie Doggies go to . . .

    Bugs will be thrilled that he and his (large, definitely large) weiner are an internet sensation. Thank you to everyone who voted for him!

    I know it is way too late, but I want to add a new category: Best backstory of why a dog is so afraid. I nominate the comment I made on your page.

    I think a snarky red-carpet commentary would be a nice addition for future award ceremonies. Yes?

    Woohoo!! Congratulations puppy!

    I love RA’s idea of a red-carpet commentary…especially if it’s going to be snarky!

  6. Lindsey on February 25th, 2008

    Rufus’ blue collar was a fashion risk, but I think it paid off.

    I am all for red carpet commentary!

    I’m so glad the story of ben won! I loved those ones. This was fun. Who doesn’t love seeing pictures of cute dogs? It’s like seeing cute babies; only better. Cause sometimes, babies are ugly. But dogs are pretty much adorable all the time. And they throw up less often, so there. :)

  8. Heather on February 26th, 2008

    PS– I like the idea of commentary as well!
