Thank you to everyone who commented
on the last post and as promised all the names went into a draw to win a copy
of Plots and Plotting by Diana Kimpton.
A long time ago my beautiful
dog Indy picked a winner from a cowboy hat for a blog competition and I had ideas of Dusty following
in his footsteps.
But I couldn’t find the
cowboy hat. So I put the pieces of paper outside thinking Dusty might choose
one as he loves picking things up, but they started blowing round the garden. Once I'd retrieved them from various bushes, I weighed down each name
with one of Scout's puppy treats – which meant I could unfold the paper so the names were visible (just wish I'd used a darker pen!).
Dusty was watching from
inside, licking his lips while I took a photo of the names. Meanwhile Harley strolled
up wanting to know what was going on.

| What's all this? |
I hoped to be able to get a
photo of the first treat Dusty took, but before I could let him out, it seemed
Harley made the decision on his behalf and I had to agree with her that as the
longest serving four legged member of this household, she had that right.

So there you have it –
congratulations to LL Cool Joe Joey's Pad! I’ll be in touch so we can get the book sent
out to you.

| The Winner! |
By the time Dusty and Tinks
came out, all the treats had gone!
 |
| What did we miss? |
Thank you again to Diana for
her lovely guest post and for giving away a copy of her book.
It sounds like a very useful book to have, Teresa!
ReplyDeleteIt is, Rosemary. Definitely one for the keeping shelf!
DeleteHey, wow that's the first time I've won anything, thanks so much!! I'll email you. And thank you to Diana too!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations :-) That's brilliant!
DeleteDid Dusty and Tinks get consolation treats to make up for Harley getting there first? :D
ReplyDeleteI made sure they were compensated :-) But they didn't get as many as Harley!
DeleteSorry, but I *may* have laughed at the thought of you running after the slips of paper.
ReplyDeleteIt wasn't a pretty sight, Patsy!
DeleteCongratulations to the winner and thank you to the hardworking animals for doing such a good job! And to their hardworking 'er indoors' for organising it!! ;-) xx
ReplyDeleteHarley is glad you appreciate her hard work. She says it's not easy selecting which treat to eat first and then stuffing the rest in before anyone else gets a look in. It's a hard life for cats :-) xx
DeleteLooks good. I ordered a copy for myself and have already started to read it.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you'll enjoy it Diane!
DeleteHello Teresa, I've been missing for a few weeks, looks like you've been kept busy though...I shall nip over to Amazon and check out the book.
ReplyDeleteThanks for commenting, Maria. Glad to see you back :-)
DeleteJust to say I can't comment on your latest post, it doesn't appear to have this box.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Joe - I had disabled comments, but I've put them back on now!
DeleteHi Teresa, I don't seem to be able to comment on your latest post. I might even say, 'bloody wars!' which was one of my Dad's sayings - he was born in Dovercourt and had relatives in Norfolk and Suffolk so I daresay your assumption of where it comes from is right. I haven't heard it in years! :-) X
ReplyDeleteHi Debbie, that's interesting. I think I only ever heard it at home, never anywhere else. It's funny how these old sayings disappear isn't it x
