WHOOHOO!!

I enter (and win) a lot of contests. We haven't paid for a vacation in 4 years (Disneyworld from HP, Breakers in Palm Beach from Allure magazine, Cruise to Mexico from local radio station, hair makeover from Oxygen in Pasedena)

Today I received this from a photo contest I entered at Casar dog food!

And she isn't even my cutest dog

Very cool! I need to be looking for places to enter photos, too. Best I've done is my dog being featured on the Weather Channel one day...and that was only good for fame and glory (which doesn't pay well) and a photo of the day from Kodak, which featured my photo on display for a day at Times Square in NYC. Great ego boosts, but no fee-paid trip (boo hoo).

How cool!!!

I took a picture of a bald eagle once that landed on the branch outside my window, and sent it to the local TV station. They featured my picture on the afternoon weather broadcast. That was pretty neat. Not as neat as a CALENDAR though!

Congrats!

Auburn CA,

Congratulations.

How do you find anytime to do real estate? with your contests, dog modeling contracts, trend setting avatar designer.

I think I need another category for the Online awards - Most diverse Contributor.

Alan

lol, I spend a lot of time waiting around in airports.

Airports have free wi-fi nowadays, so I make the most of it and enter contests

It's my reward for having to wait around.

You should enter that cutie into Rodent Monthly also. Just super glue a long tail on her and call it a rat!

I never win anything. Im hoping that Regis will call me one morning and I win a cool prize. Im saving my luck for the HGTV Dram Home giveaway. Perhaps this will be my year. Enter at http://www.hgtv.com .

You made me cry... because I'm laughing so hard. Holy Hannah.

Wow and I never enter contests because I think that no one actually wins and it's just a scam to get your phone number! Another thing I'm wrong about!

Sooooo cute!!

A friend of mine, once entered my name and address in a competion for a laugh, because he was being pressured to enter by a sales representative.

He was not so amused when I won the 6 week trip to India.

Did you really win a trip to Naples, FL? When I was a project manager the company I worked for built the Ritz Carlton! I'll keep an eye out for Princess Paris

Yes, I really did

If you need any recommendations for places to go or good restaurants let me know.

You are at the golf course Ritz Carlton which is inside Tiburon. It is a Greg Norman designed golf course and annual home of the Merril Lynch Shootout. The hotel overlooks the golf course. Very nice place with palm tree lined streets and large fountains. I drive past it every day.

Here's Heide the BPO Dog. I saved her last week from a terrible rescue operation and she is the best dog ever. She was in bad shape, but is coming along and loves to BPO!

OMG...she is soooo cute! Did you say she was 8 yrs old? By looking at her teeth she actually looks quite young.

The wet nose coming through in the picture too. lol.
