<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>Just
my two cents here – we were able to get Basset Rescue of Montana on the
top and keep them there because there are no really big rescue organizations in
Montana, just small ones like Leslie. We couldn't push some of the others
to the top and keep them there because they were competing with big
organizations in large metropolitan areas. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>So we
need a rescue in a rural state, like Montana, and there need to be no really
large rescue organizations in the state. Anyone? Wyoming...North
and South Dakota...Nebraska...maybe New Mexico...any others? Volunteers?
I would be happy to vote for any rescue that is picked, but we might as well
try and find one that has a decent chance to win. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
