On August 22nd Meowsing announced it was teaming up With Chicken Soup Brand Cat Food for a Summer Travel Stories Contest. ;-D
As I tell Elvira...it's time to choose a winner!
( No fair peeking, either, dear reader, or Contestant! Take in the story of this event, one picture at a time, top, to bottom, I don't care if the suspense DOES drive ya nuts! ;-D )
As I said before...
Chicken Soup for the Pet Lovers Soul Brand Pet Food has a website that is devoted to Dog, and Cat Food, Cat and Kitten care, a Vet Notes section, and more, including a month old Blog that shows some potential for the future.
They also have a presense on Facebook (If you enjoy their effort "Like" them, and spread the word!), and on Twitter (If you like their Tweets then follow them!), so check them out in between your Naps, Snoozes, Play Times, Strolls.
I thank them for asking this blog to host this contest, and providing the prize, and thank those who spread the word, and our contestants as well. ;-D
We had 2 brave blogs submit their thoughts for this contest, as can be seen in the comments to the post above!
1. Artemisia, Fenris, Socks & Scylla of the blog Alasandra The Cats, and a Dog.
2. Sweet Praline.
Both blogs offer wonderful pictures, and stories, about the resident Beasties, and their Humans, and more besides, and I whole-heartedly encourage you to check them out sometime. ;-D
So let's pick a winner shall we?
Daddy wrote the names of our contestants on 5 pieces of paper, each, and crumpled them up so neither I, Nikita, Professor of the Nikita Institute of Feline Studies, or Miss Elvira, could tell who was named on any piece.
He said he was gonna test a theory, but would not tell us what it was, at first. ;-D
So we proceeded to whack the Krinkly Papers around the floor, as he instructed us!
One of us...a bit more enthusiastically than the other. ;-D
Elvira was really sad she couldn't get down, and boogie, with the papers. ;-D
It was at this point, just before he unwrapped the winning paper, that he explained what he was trying to discover.
He unwrapped the first 8 papers, and showed us that there were 4 each for each of our contestants....
This meant, he told us, as he opened the one we did not choose, that...using our super Feline Senses, from our Whiskers, and Noses, to our Paws, right down to the tip of our tails...we had narrowed our choice down to 2 papers, 1 for each contestant!
Afte picking up the one we discarded, he quickly opened the winner...before Elvira decided to try, and eat it. ;-D
Congratulations!!!! ;-D
Having e-mailed our contestants a heads-up about this post, I await an e-mail from the winner, with their mailing address, so I can arrainge delivery of their prize. ;-D
By the way...Jan's Funny Farm also held the contest, and announced their winner Wednesday!
They have a very fun video showing how their winner was chosen! ;-D
Congratulations to the winners!
They will get some wonderful prizes from the good people at Chicken Soup for The Pet Lovers Soul.
It was such a joy to see Nikita and Elvira selecting the winner, Elvira really "threw herself" into this task.
And great that you linked to the drawing at Jan's Funny Farm.
Her first video was great, especially watching Percy, whose interest in the event was purely selfish.
