Aw Chucks! It's A Prize Give-Away!

In reading through Blogging for Dummies, I learned that my blog is a failure. According to the book, a successful blog is one that attracts comments from readers. It advised me to recuscitate my blog by offering a prize giveaway to readers who comment. Unfortunately, now that I've written about the loud cat Cracker, it's probably too late to offer him as a prize. So I'm offering Chuck, the blind dog. This Stray Rescue hairy, short, pig-shaped mutt joined our family more than six years ago as an "old dog." Now he is an "older dog." Chuck specializes in sleeping (and snoring) on the couch. When he is awake, he bumps into doors, chairs, the mailbox post, laundry piles, shoes, compost piles--basically anything in front of him. He has walked off porch steps and a boat dock, and, more than once, been lost in the backyard. But Chuck never complains. He also never gives up. A few years ago, Chuck scaled the dining room table and devoured 33 homemade chocolate chip cookies. And, yes, that many cookies at one time doesn't digest smoothly. Not that Chuck cared. The Wonder Dog has taken out more than his share of Halloween candy and McDonald's leftovers. In his favor, he is comfortable enough in his neutered manhood to wear a ladybug costume at Halloween and any other time he is stuffed into it. I anticipate a flood of comments from blog readers eager to win this one-of-a-kind prize giveaway. So comment early and often. Should you be the lucky winner, don't worry about Chuck's stomach rumblings. I expect his digestive issues to clear up in time to tackle some turkey, pie or whatever else is placed just barely within his reach.
