Hello, Fellow Doxie Lovers/Rescuers,

I entered my rescued miniature Dachshund’s Halloween costume photo in the current BARKBUSTERS.com photo contest–where we could win $500 for a local animal charity (we chose ARRF of Cle Elum, WA). The contest just started; he’s ahead right now…but this still has a month to go….so I’m trying to contact Dachshund lovers from on-line sites who might vote for the only (rescue) Doxie in the (five) finalists. I’d love to make my little “weiner(dog)” a BIG “winner”…thanks!

Herman’s Story….
HERMAN came to me as a rescue from my friend and most wonderful veterinarian, Dr. Debbie Cottrell, West End Animal Hospital, in Newberry, FL (just outside of Gainesville). http://www.westendanimal.com
He was a failure-to-thrive local puppy mill cast-off who the WEAH staff “knew” just had to be with me….but I had recently relocated across the country to Washington state.
So we booked little 5 mos. HERMAN on a flight headed from Jacksonville, FL to Seattle, WA via DELTA DASH the day after Christmas 2004….and it was love at first sight!!!
HERMAN has won Halloween costume contests as well as First Place in the annual Ellensburg, WA “DACHSHUNDS ON PARADE” event…where he was called the first “Cross-Dressing” winner (since he wore his “sister’s” (CARMEN MIRANDA, a long-haired black & tan Chihuahua) hand-me-down costume of CARMEN MIRANDA complete with a hat piled high with artificial fruit.
HERMAN has lots of air miles under him, too…besides his trip from FL to WA; he accompanied me round-trip from Seattle to NYC two years ago and was the hit of the First Class Cabin and all the airport lounges along the way.
Nothing fazes him…he’s open to trying anything I ask of him.
I adore my special little doxie, HERMAN!

The voting just started and runs thru Dec. 21st…..winner will be based on the popular vote.

Only ONE VOTE PER EMAIL ADDRESS is permitted…so if you have a work email and a home email, please submit a vote from each; or if other family members have different email addys, would you please ask your extended family, co-workers, Facebook friends, on-line boards/blogs, etc. you may belong to, etc. to vote for HERMAN. His photo is last on the page, so there’s a small disadvantage for my little guy…..ya gotta scroll down to his photo.

I’m sending out lots of pesky emails encouraging, pleading, begging, etc. for your vote….so I apologize in advance if I duplicate from my various on-line address books.

Thanks and grateful tail wags from HERMAN,

Please help make my little weiner(dog) and BIG WINNER!

Barbara
