To Aire is Divine

Talk about getting in just under the wire…

For a few months now, my buddy Stanley has been at the helm of a beard-growing contest – we all had a check-in, and now it’s time for all of that growth to pay off.

While I am a HUGE fan of Stanley (and of course the Stellanator), I really do not enjoy the measuring process.

I didn’t make it particularly simple for mama to do.

GIMME THAT – missing opposable thumbs be damned!!!

I fully realize that the photos aren’t super clear – but I’m also not claiming to have grown a helluva lot of beard.  My furnishings just never have been that full and fluffy – or copious.

It might be a tiny bit longer, but I’m only gonna claim 3 LOUSY INCHES – that might even be less than when I started!!!

Centimeters… Inches… it’s all Greek to me…

Love,

Big Giant Aire Kisses to my buddies Maggie & Mitch – I just got their entry for the Be My Baby Mama contest!!! It’s the first one – And it’s AWESOME!!!!

See how hard they’re working here?  It definitely shows in the end product.  Two fantastic fuzzy heads working together toward a common goal – to help me find a gal to mambo with and make some fine Dale babies.

Wanna throw your hat in the ring?  Write my personal ad!  I’ve got 2 copies of Chicken Soup for the Soul: Loving Our Dogs kindly provided by the publisher to give away to the top two entries.

So today a light bulb went off in my head (not literally, of course, just a grand idea that finally became clear).  In reading through comments and emails it seems that I wasn’t entirely clear when describing what I was looking for in the Be My Baby Mama contest.  That’s probably why no one entered!!!

Yes, I am looking ultimately for my dreamgirl in the fuzzy flesh – but for the contest, I just wanted help in writing a personal ad that I’d be putting onto my website.  So anyone can participate – you don’t have to be a girl Dale to take part!

I am going to restart the contest – hopefully I’m much clearer this time! – and end it on November 30th.

So – to reiterate what the contest is, and what I’m looking for:

Your mission is to help me create my PAWSONAL AD to help me find a special Dale lady to have my fine Dale babies.

Are you a great writer? Then YOU should write the ad itself, something that makes me look GOOD – handsome, rugged, individualistic yet also charming, lovable and ready to mambo – that will help me to attract my special lady love.

Are you into artwork? Then YOU should make the photo/collage/macaroni art that will accompany the ad itself.  Stretch your Photoshop skills, or cut and paste.  Whatever medium you think is right works for me.  Feel free to take any photos from my website (www.toaireisdivine.com) to use.

I have fresh copies of Chicken Soup for the Soul: Loving Our Dogs courtesy of the publishers to give away to two lucky winners!  This is a brand-spanking-new book that you’re gonna love.

The rules are simple – submit your artwork and/or ad text to me at bogarthandsomedevildog@yahoo.com before November 31st.  You MUST be a member of Dogs With Blogs (i.e., you must be a dog with a blog) in order to enter.  Please include your blog URL with your submission(s).  Submit as many times as you like.  Anydog anywhere in the world can win – I will ship the book to you anywhere!

Questions?  Email me.  And thanks in advance for helpin’ a Dale out…

Love,

Bogart

Welcome November harvest!

Dad and I thought it was time to go through our garden and get the final veggies of the year.  Not much left at this point, the tomatos are TINY (regular sized roma shown for comparison).

Searching for those last few stragglers…

Dad requires a lot of supervision, so I’m here to do the job.

There is also some kohlrabi, so we plucked those for stewing…

Now that it’s November, I’d hoped to be announcing the winners of the Be My Baby Mama contest – but I got zero entries!  I thought it would be cool – writing my personal ad or making up my personal ad photo – but something must have just gone wrong.  I still have these really cool Loving Our Dogs books from the Chicken Soup for the Soul folks, and I definitely do want to give them away to my readers.

So dogs I’m askin’ – was the contest too vague?  Too difficult?  Not explained really well?  Enquiring minds need to know…

I’ll have to come up with something else, I suppose.  All of this thinking is making me HUNGRY…

Love,
