Okay everyone – the big announcement is here! I’m sponsoring Duchess’ Spring Cleaning Contest where we will judge the best pictures of your doggie getting a bath. Here are the simple rules:
1.) Take a picture of your doggie getting cleaned up (or you may already have one). They can be in the bathtub, outside, in a wading pool, the groomer’s… wherever!
2.) E-mail ONE picture to me at lifewithduchess at hotmail.com by APRIL 26th (I extended the deadline a week since a lot of people are saying that they may not make the deadline) (put the @ symbol in there… keeping it out of this entry for spam reasons). That gives you plenty of weekends and plenty of opportunities to get dirty doggies.
3.) In the e-mail include your dog’s name, your human’s name, your blog address, and please do not photoshop or alter your pictures.
4.) The three members of the executive council (me, the Vampire Wife, and The Boy) will choose our favorite photo each, then Duchess will choose the winner (yes you read that right).
5.) The winner will receive either a $20 donation made in their name to a rescue or shelter of their choice, or a $20 gift card to Drs. Foster & Smith – whichever they choose.
6.) Place this button on your blog in the sidebar to let everyone know you’re competing!
Here is the code for the graphic that you can just cut and paste into your blog.

That’s it! Looking forward to receiving all of your entries… now get to e-mailing!





Oh dear! The Mango gets cleaned at the beauty parlor and they do not allow moms in the cleaning room. Whatever will I do?
Slobbers,
Mango
OOh how exciting – I love baths! I’ve got lots of pictures cause I take one every two weeks. I’m going to put the graphic up right away – my picture will come to you once I decide which one to use.

Ooh – how exciting! I don’t have many photos of me having baths – just videos…hmm, maybe I’ll have to ask my humans to try and get one next time they give me a bath…will try and get it in before the deadline!
I’ve extended the deadline by a week to give everyone some extra time!
Hey! The doggie salon people said they took photos last time I had a day of beauty and super extra promised to peemail them this weekend. Keep your paws crossed.
Slobbers,
Mango
