ALL ENTRIES ARE LOCATED ON THE SLIDESHOW IN THE CENTER COLUMN AT THE BAMBOO TEAHOUSE

The PEOPLES CHOICE POLL BROUGHT IN 105 VOTES FOR THE CONTESTANTS!!!

BEST IN SHOW

I had initially planned on awarding more prizes and Awards of Merit….. but, with only 8 participants (totalling 25 entries) I decided to go with the limited edition greeting cards instead for all the participants. All the images were so wonderful and as much as I studied and stressed over which one was going to get Best in Show….. I still look back at them thinking…OHHHHHHH this one, or that one… would have made a beautiful piece of art!!! You may be hearing from me at a later date!!!!

The love and passion you all have for this breed and your dogs was very apparent in each and every image you entered in the contest , and the photos brought a big smile to my face every time I looked through them. The bond we have with our chows cannot be described easily with words , but a photo cannot lie!

PEOPLES CHOICE

I have another photo contest in the works which will have broader theme so hopefully we will get even more entries. I would love to eventually get sponsored prizes but we will need more participation for that to be possible. I’ll let you know what I have up my sleeve as soon as I return from Egypt,Turkey,France in mid October

“I wanted to give you an update on a few things. My rescue went to an adoption event at the Home Depot yesterday. I took Cotton and Keefer. They were a big hit. They enjoyed the attention they received by everyone. Cotton was a perfect gentleman. So was Keefer even though he decided to sleep half the event away. I had several people interested in Cotton so I hope to hear from them soon.

I also ran a video on my computer during this event. I have attached it so you could see it. It is a before and after of some of the Chows we all helped. They couldn’t believe how far these Chows have come.

BELOW IS A BEAUTIFUL VIDEO CINDY DID AND AGREED TO SHARE WITH US

And here is Cotton and Keefer at their Home Depot debut!! This brings tears to my eyes. Thank you one an all !!!

COTTON

KEEFER

Paypal donations are still being taken at the widget to your right on Worldchow. We are still quite away from our 4000.00 goal. These good folks who do the work that many of us do not have the time, or the strong guts to do , are working for free…and bringing the chows back to health….. and the rehab takes $$$ and time…… and lots of it.

COTTON

Please continue to give generously on behalf of our breed. These Lancaster rescue chows have unfortunately become ALL of our responsibility as Chowists but I know you guys…we take care of our own!!. Thank you to all the donators!!! Without you these dogs would not be making friends at Home Depot!!
