As has been long-standing Elka Almanac tradition, I wrote the names of the entrants on pieces of paper and threw them on the floor. Then I looked at Elka and said "Pick it up!"
She looked down (notice Gumby? He has to help, evidently)
There was a lot of consideration here. But she picked one! I told her how awesome she was, and looked down again and said "Pick it up!"
Unlike the last time, Elka had no problem with me asking her for the same cue twice, and our winners were selected.
Drumroll.....
Just Toby, and Bassetmomma! Congratulations!

I vouch for the greatness of the prize...I did enjoy the book!
DeleteElka sometimes likes tearing up paper, so we try to limit what's just laying around for her to have access to if bored.
hehe Elka you are much more talented that I!

Good job Elka! That is the best way to select winners we have seen yet!
ReplyDeletewhat beauty that pup of yours is!
ReplyDeleteJust saw your post on Pet Blogs United. We see Dobermans at dog shows, and have always thought they were beautiful dogs. At the shows their coats just shine! And they make wonderful junior handling dogs, the kids seem to do really well with them!
ReplyDeleteNice to meet you! :)
Woo hoo! We can't believe we won! This sounds like such a great read and will be perfect to cozy up with on a cold night! Thank you so much! I love the way Elka picked the names for you and I can't believe she has a Gumby!!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for picking me Elka. Think of all the trouble I can get into now while The One Named Donna is distracted reading about Boo. :-)
