Attention dog lovers
« on: March 22, 2007, 08:00:38 PM »
Hi, everybody.

I need a favor.  The rescue group I volunteer for, Wheatens In Need, is in the middle of an annual fundraising project.  Each  year we hold a contest in which people send in photos of their dogs and then people vote for a "Grand Marshall" to lead a virtual parade. 

Before I go any further, I'm NOT asking anyone for any money ......

Anyone can cast one free vote for the dog of his/her choice by sending an email to wheaten68-parade@yahoo.com.   Your address will NOT be put on a list or given or sold to anyone -- it is actually my address; I count the votes and no one else will ever see it.

I'd like to ask everyone to please take a moment and cast one free vote for a dog named Misti.  She has inoperable cancer and her owner is devastated.  I'm hoping that Misti will win to lift her mom's spirits a bit.  She is currently in the lead but things can change at any moment.  Here's a link to Misti's photo (feel free to look at all the photos of our other contestants while you are there):

Voting ends at midnight on Saturday.  If you can spare a moment to send a quick email, please cast a free vote for Misti.  Once again, the address is wheaten68-parade@yahoo.com.

Thanks.

Hey bro, I just voted for Misti.  I hope I did it right.  I just clicked on the e-mail address you had provided and put "voting for Misti" in the subject block.  Then I wrote a quick message that stated I was voting for Misti for the upcoming dog parade.  Good luck.   O0

People are not limited by the circumstance that they are born in. They are limited by the size of their dreams. Show them that their dreams can have no limits and in turn their accomplishments can be limitless.

Thank you all.  Misti still has a comfortable lead,  thanks in no small part to the help of people from this group.  I really appreciate it.  The voting ends Saturday night at midnight and the winner will be announced sometime on Monday.  I will let you know what the outcome is.
