See in my mind it went like this. Indy wears Santa hat. Indy picks name out of cowboy hat. I take photo of Indy with name in mouth
clearly showing winner. Post winner on blog.
Very cute!
What happened was: Indy wore Santa hat. Santa hat fell
off. Repeat six times.
Indy thinks this is a great lark and gets very excited!
Put Indy’s collar on and tucked Santa hat into it. Hat
stayed on. Indy picked up cowboy hat and threw names all over the floor. Returned
names to hat. Repeat six times.
Indy kicked hat around the room like a football,
scattering names everywhere. I gathered up names and returned them to the hat.
Indy picked name out of hat and began to chew.
I retrieved winning name, opened it out, asked him to hold
it in his mouth with the name showing so I could photograph the evidence.
Indy ate the name.
But I think I got the cute pic I was hoping for - as well as a smile (well actually he's chewing, but I think he looks smiley)!
Fortunately I’d read it before asking him to pose with
it, so I can tell you the winner of a copy of Writers for Animals is Jenny!
Congratulations, Jenny. If you would like to send me your address you can pm me
on Facebook or email me at Teresaashby at ymail.com.
With thanks to Isabel for letting us play with borrow her hats!
What a clever way of choosing your winner, Teresa - Indy really is a very clever dog!
ReplyDeleteIndy would agree with you there, Wendy :-) x
DeleteLovely pictures.But it could all have gone terribly wrong!!
ReplyDeleteIt was a bit worrying when he finally snuffled in and started chewing, Maggie :-) x
DeleteI bet it was my name he ate :( But he does look cute!
ReplyDeleteIt was definitely Jenny. I fished it out of his mouth and checked. My mistake was giving it back to him thinking he might hold it long enough for me to get a photo :-) Silly me - he slurped it right back in! Must have tasted nice because he then tried to eat the rest of them! x
DeleteAwwwww lovely Indy!! You picked a great winner! Yay! Take care

Thanks, Kitty :-) x
DeleteIndy is very cute in his santa hat! There's a blog of the year award for you on mine, Teresa - now Ive got around to posting my own, thank you!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Rosemary - you will already know how chuffed I am :-) x
DeleteLovely pictures. He'd look good in People's friend.xx
ReplyDeleteAw, thank you, Sue :-) x
DeleteLovely pictures of Indy!
ReplyDeleteThey'd have been even better if it had gone as I planned and if he had posed like I wanted instead of insisting on doing his own thing ;-) x
DeleteIs there no end to Indy's talents? :0)
ReplyDeleteI doubt it, Gail :-) x
DeleteAh Indy, a dog wearing a Santa hat. Who would of thought that? :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Jenny!
Pawsitive wishes and doggy kisses, Penny xx
It looks much prettier on you, Penny ;-) x
DeleteI enjoyed the photo shoot and well done to Indy! I think Flossie would have eaten the entire contents of the hat way before Indy succumbed to temptation. Though she may have toured the room, daring us to take the paper form her mouth first...
ReplyDeleteWe did have fun doing it! Not that it was funny trying to get a soggy piece of paper from his jaws ;-) x
DeleteOh, Teresa, I could not have been chosen by a better chooser! (or do I mean "chewer")! I would love the picture of Indy to put on my wall! The expresssion! It cracked me up. Thank you very much, I will love the book!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Jenny! I'll get the book off to you this week. He does like pulling faces for the camera :-) x
DeleteCongratulations, Jenny :0)
ReplyDeleteOoooh, Indy is so cute. xx
Thanks Suz :-) x
DeleteIndy just gets cuter and cuter! SO funny, and what a grin! :o) xx
ReplyDeleteSometimes he does just grin, his cheeks all puff up and his teeth are on show - I wish I could capture that on camera, Sue :-) x
DeleteI absolutely loved this post, Teresa. So funny and very cute.
ReplyDeleteHuge congratulations to Jenny. And well done, Indy! x
Thanks Joanna :-) x
