font-family:Tahoma'>Thanks to everyone who voted for me – ZEPHYR - in the
Bergen Health & Life magazine’s CUTEST PET IN BERGEN COUNTY (NJ)
contest. I received THREE TIMES MORE VOTES than the 1<sup>st</sup> runner
up. And of all things, the 1<sup>st</sup> runner up was a BUNNY named
Gypsy!!!!! Unfortunately, I was hoping THAT would be MY prize, but mom said an
emphatic “NO”!!! But the nice people who ran the contest are
sending me a BIG basket filled with all kinds of goodies. Mom said I will
have to share with Fred & Marley although Marley is in what Mom calls the “dog
house” because he keeps licking me in places no respectable male dog
should be licked and has been putting some really strange moves on me.
Mom keeps making a horrible loud screeching noise whenever he does that, but
Dad thinks it is funny. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

COUNTY and NOT THE BUNNY!!! A beagle named Jax was 2<sup>nd</sup> runner
up and a malamute named <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Liberty</st1:City></st1:place>
was 3<sup>rd</sup> runner up. Here is the link to the story… <a
