First of
all, thank you thank you thank you for your participation and enthusiasm! It made me so happy that my FIRST EVER
contest was so well received! I got LOTS of entries and LOTS of positive comments, and I'm so happy my readers have enjoyed it!
Second of
all, thank you so much to the judges! I
appreciate the extreme effort you put forth over the past week, spending long
hours chain-chewing bully sticks, carefully contemplating each photo, and
agonizing over your decisions. (As you
can imagine, we judges had a very difficult time choosing from amongst all of the
wonderfully silly entries. We would like to give awards to ALL of the entries, because they are all so awesome and
deserving!)
