Time to vote! Slobber Contest…
Posted by: Honey the Great Dane on: August 23, 2009
* Voting is now closed. Thank you!
A BIG thank you to all those who participated in my Spectacular Slobber Contest - I am so touched by everyone who went to so much effort for their entries – and Wow – what entries!!
OK, so the time has come for you to vote for your favourite slobberer!! As you know, there are 4 categories:
- Professional Drooler – for the big-jowled monster leakers
- Amateur Drooler – for the more dainty breed of canine
- Prop-Assisted – for those who need a bit of help
- Video – for those who feel that their drool is best appreciated in action…
You are only allowed to vote ONCE in each category (and of course, you can’t vote for yourself!! 
) – please put your votes in your comments below.
* Thank you, Mango, for pointing out that there might be some confusion: to keep things simple and fair, only ONE vote per household, please, even if there are multiple doggies living together. And it doesn’t count if both your humans try to vote once each as different people..I can tell and I won’t count their votes! So only ONE vote per household, please!! 
Contestants: tell all your friends to come over and vote!!
Voting will close next Sunday 30th August
OK, so here is the moment we have all been waiting for…the entries!
(if I have missed your entry, PLEASE let me know!)

pro – im going with duke. bubbles AND strings….talent!!!
amatuer – max and that one gloriously perfect bubble.

video action – waldo. stops having fun, turns and comes back on command, and wipes drool right on the camera. SHOWOFF!!!!!
August 23, 2009 at 3:03 am
Professional – Mango – That is a TON of foam! Curious what created such slobbery excitement.
Amateur – Max – Impressive bubble and nice picture.
Assisted – Moose – That is some strong slobber. I too thought it was a bug of some sort.
Video – Gus & Waldo – Very funny that both dogs slimed the camera. Couldn’t have gone better if planned lol! And a very patient and forgiving human. I would’ve freaked if slobber were left on my lens.
August 23, 2009 at 4:27 am
Oh… this is hard!
I’m going with
Duke
Max
Saige
and … I think Gus & Waldo.
What a cool contest!
Tail wags,

August 23, 2009 at 4:54 am
These are all great entries! So hard to choose!
For professional…I vote for Savage, because Savage looks so proud of the drool!
Amateur vote goes to Kasha…”hurry take the picture, I can’t hold this position forever!”
Prop assisted vote is for Saige, poor Saige had to endure borrowed slobber…that is worth a vote in itself.
My video vote has to go to Raja, although the Gus & Waldo’s video was highly entertaining!
August 23, 2009 at 7:40 am
Of course Mango is The Drool King, but here goes:
Pro – Mango (who else?)
Amateur – Guinness (with a name like that, how can you go wrong?)
Prop-assisted: Moose (very impressive display, there)
And video: Raja (clearly drooling runs in the Mango family… heh… get it… runs? okay… maybe that wasn’t so funny!)
*kissey face*

So many beautiful slobbers!

prop assisted: Moose because that’s innovative!
video: by far the hardest category to choose a winner! I think I will go for Gus and Waldo as I do love close-ups of slobber!
smooches,
Mr Darcy

Hi Honey – here are the votes from the Clacton jury…… (he he he – unless you watch the Eurovision Song Contest that phrase will be lost on you….! )
Pro: Mr Darcy – anyone who can tolerate full facial slobber gets our vote!
Amateur: Okar – great fangs there Oskar!
Prop-assisted: Sasha – we’re sure that hat is so much more comfy now you’ve dribbled all over it Sasha!
Video: Gus and Waldo – seriously guys – ewwwww!
What a great contest!! We would have liked to vote for EVERYONE – seriously, it was difficult to choose as they’re all so good!
Schnauzer snuggles – JD and Max. 
PS – aw, thanks for doing a post on the parcel we sent you -*blush!* – you’re the best! We’re glad you liked our little gifts, we did giggle when we saw that t-shirt and immediately thought of you! And Honey, wow – your new collar is gorgeous – you’re so right, it’s simply YOU! You know what – we have a similiar problem with smaller collars. Being such butch, brave doggies we would actually LOVE a collar with studs on it, but the smaller collars seem to cater mainly for the girls, with flowers and butterflies and candy stripes….. So we knew EXACTLY what you meant! Your new collar enhances your beauty…*sigh!!*….we adore that beauty spot on your cheek!
August 25, 2009 at 3:21 am
hey honey!!!
why isn´t there any photos of you?? uh??
love the contest, and all the photos
pro: #5 Chef the Boxer
Amateur: #4 Mason the Golden Retriever
Prop assisted: #2 Moose
Big licks to you and your mommy!!!

Woodrow – Sweetie – MJ
August 25, 2009 at 4:56 am
Wow! We feel a bit out of our depth here! Drool is not something we know much about and we were quite amazed at the amount of it here!!
Anyway, the count of the Irish jury is as follows:
Pro – MANGO (absolutely!!)
Amateur – Max (very cute!!)
Prop-assisted – Saige
Video – Raja
Okay, we think we need a bit of a lie-down after that!
lots of woofs
Clive
PS – we loved the yellow bag – the little man thought it very funny! Currently, he’s wants a very yellow car when he’s a BIG man but we try not to think about that!! Living with everything yellow all the time can get trying …..
We did see some incredible dog/human combinations in Provincetown like you mentioned – didn’t get the camera out quick enough either! Think we saw that dog bakery alright – must have a look back thro the photos later – we took some amount!!
August 25, 2009 at 4:59 am
Just looked back at some of the comments and see that like JD and Max – we gave our votes in the same manner as they do in the Eurovision!! (and we all swear we never watch it!!)
August 25, 2009 at 7:44 am
Pro – STELLA!!!

Prop assisted: Moose! You can’t help it if things get caught in the crossfire of the drool!

Amateur – Mason Dixie
Prop-Assisted – Moose

Phew! Glad I’m a dry-lipped terrier with only occasional bedhead!
