<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique>We have also had issues with
voting. Just like Nancy, I found if I start on the main
</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique>web page, click the food, then click on
the Shelter Challenge site I can usually get
in. </FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique>There are those times I have to google
the Shelter Challenge then pick a link (4-5 down) </FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique>before I vote.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique></FONT></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique>Todays news is OMBR has dropped to 23rd
in the U.S. We are still in first place in </FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique>Arkansas with 32.79% of the votes.
Wynne Friends of Animals </FONT></STRONG><STRONG><FONT size=2
face=Antique>(our biggest challenger) </FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique>is turning up the heat and now
have 20.57% of the votes. </FONT></STRONG><STRONG><FONT size=2
face=Antique>This rescue </FONT></STRONG><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique>has
won the state </FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique>every year and I am sure they are not
going to easily give up that extra $1000.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique></FONT></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique>I am so proud of everyone in our
Drool family for voting and not giving up because of </FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique>the sites issues. Just
like our beloved bassets, we are determined, powerful and
relentless</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique>when we are after the "Prize".
</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique></FONT></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique>I now have all three contests bookmarked
on IE. I use the favorites bar (the star with the</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique>arrow on it). So everyday when I
open IE the contests are in my face. </FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique></FONT></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique>We would like to thank everyone for the
drool and prayers for our foster boy Freddie.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique>I really hate the waiting for results but
am praying that the mass is benign. Freddie is </FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique>such a great boy who has gone through
more than his share of hard times. He is now</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique>sleeping on the foot of the bed, happily
snoring away and enjoying his new life in this</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique>new year.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
