I guess anything is possible…but…not likely –

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Colby Chaps getting a month on the Sr. Hounds Abound Calendar lovers…Well today is the last day to vote and it appears that victory for a month on the 2014 calendar is pretty much out of reach.

Voting ends tonight at 9:00pm Florida time.

Poor Colby Chaps…

You can go and look at the tally for each hound and they are really high.

VOTING BOOTH

There were some really, really aggressive pushing for some of the hounds on facebook and it looks like it paid off.  This is going to be a really good year for Sr. Hounds Abound with this tried and true fundraiser.

I guess I won’t throw in the town towel until tonight after 9pm.

I will be updating this post later tonight.

Again, thank you to all who voted for my grand-hound.  All of those dollars go to help the elders at Sr. Hounds Abound so they definitely will not go to waste.

Voting ends tonight at 9:00pm Florida Time

More loving my grand-hound later…Cat, Daisy Lynn (Chaps and Emma ATB sending rainbow hail marys!)

    Bumper and Abby sent their votes in for Colby Chaps today and we are really hoping he gets a month. We also ordered a calendar to support senior hounds just like us! We have all paws crossed tonight.

    Just in from Wen of Senior Hounds Abound. Colby did not win a month but we all knew that was coming. Congrats to all of the winners!

    Wow,
    You all just have brought me to my knees with the generosity of each of you and your friends who support your hounds. Why this years’ contest has raised so much more than last year, I do not know. I do know, I am very humbled that each of you have helped and to see what your efforts have accomplished. I am in tears as I write this.

    Here are the top 12, in order of placements

    1. Sara, Honey, and Becky
    2. Huggie Bear
    3. Rhett and Scarlett
    4. Duke
    5. Peanut
    6. Howie D
    7. Queen Bailey
    8. Molly
    9. Gus
    10. Daisy Mae
    11. Vegas Daisy Mae

    Wow, the shuffling of hounds the last hour was mind boggling. I have double checked everything, and made sure I did not skip any votes, so this is how it stands.
    The cover will be pulled randomly from one of the 23 who did not get a place. It will be announced in a few days. I need to catch my breath!

    I am working on an idea to have the remaining hounds displayed a bit differently in the calendar this year. Have to iron out a few details, but I do hope it will make everyone happy, despite me not figuring out how to make everyone a month hound.
    I am grateful to you all, I am blessed, I am tired.
    Am working on getting the newsletter ready to go out in the morning and announce the results. Feel free to share though, I know you might want to tell friends.
    Please email me with any questions, or comments.
    Again, thank you so much, we raised a little over 20,456.00
    I am still wondering how that happened. My Dawg, you guys are PAWESOME!

    If the slaves of the top twelve hounds will email me with 3 months they would like, minus December, (that one is going to the girls!) We can get who gets what month figured out!
    Bounders are sending much love and know they will get treats out of some of this!
    Thanks again!

    Dear Mary – Larsen is one of the most handsome hounds in the world. I adore himz. Both Colby Chaps and Larsen tried hard! At least we pumped up the donations to SHA! I was just showing my Mom Larsen’s picture today and we were both melting with love. What a juice box!

    I am so disappointed. Oh well, the Doyle hounds sent their votes and I know the senior hounds really appreciate it.

    Maybe next time Colby Chaps!

    I think Colby made an excellent showing. Slinky plans to send him some treats for all his hard work.

    Yes, any and all donations will help the elders at Sr. Hounds Abound. I adore the calendar. I keep all of mine and hope to some day make art work of all of the pages like I did with Chaps and Emma’s months. I take them to Staples with a coupon and have them mounted on board and laminated. It would be a darling boarder in any room in the house. Just and FYI! Thanks again residents…

    Thank you all for campaigning for me….even though I didn’t get enough votes I still feel like a winner because I have all of you in my life!!!! Now that I can get off the campaign trail it’s back to the hunting trails for me…..ohhhhh I think I see a oppossum — gotta go! Love, Colby Chaps

    Larsen says thanks for the compliment, Cat! I can’t deny, he is pretty darn adorable…and he knows it. hehe We love him so much, and will always be thankful for your part in bringing us together!
    I think I might steal your idea and have Scully’s calendar month mounted. That particular calendar is still hanging on our wall, from like 4 or 5 years ago!
