It’s time to put on your dancing paws, everybody, for the 1st ever ’Dancing with the Doggie Stars’ contest!!
I know lots of you love to have fun with your humans and lots of you know some great tricks…and who doesn’t love to boogie to their favourite tune? 
So here’s your chance to put them all together! Just like on the human TV show, this is for doggies who are not “professional dancers” but just want to give it a go! There will be fantastic PRIZES for the WINNERS, including special categories such as ‘Best Costume’…and also a ‘Readers Choice’ award so that you, the audience, can vote for your favourite dancing stars!
All you have to do is put together a dance routine of just 1 min and then either show it on your blog or send me the YouTube link. Deadline: 15 June so you’ve got two months to put together a routine and perform it for us!
Don’t worry if you’ve never tried dancing before – this contest is especially for newbies! The routines won’t be judged on how slick they are or how many fancy moves & tricks the doggie knows but rather on creativity and originality, and most of all the “wow factor” – the top prize will go to the human & doggie team who look like they are having the most FUN, who can make you smile and think “Awww….” or “Yeah!” and take you out of the moment. 
And because I’m an Equal Opportunities Doggie (hey, we’re not all cracker doggies who are happy to work for nothing…us Danes need a pretty good reason to expend any energy! 
), I’m not going to put those stupid rules like at the club trials. Nope, in my contest, you can use whatever ‘motivators’ you like during the routine. This means if you need your human to hold some treats to help you focus or even your favourite ball or toy – whatever it takes to make you keen, happy & enthusiastic - go for it!
And now let’s meet the Judges!
-
Cinnamon the Beagle – has defied all the stereotypes and shown that Beagles CAN be trained!
Cinnamon wowed everyone with her first dance routine last year, done to the tune of ‘Lollipop’ and she is now working on a new one which we will hopefully get a sneak preview of in a guest performance later in the contest! -
.
-
Bodie the Border Terrier - who I’m sure many of you will recognise as my little Pairs Routine partner, is Mr Personality Extraordinaire! Bodie has also performed fantastic solo routines on occasion…when he is “in the mood”! Ha! Ha! (They sure don’t call them “independent Terriers” for nothing!
) He too is working on a new routine, to the theme tune from ‘Happy Feet’, which we will look forward to watching as a guest performance later in the contest! -
.
- Charlie the Toy Poodle - helps his human run Melbourne Canine Freestyle – which provides fun, welcoming, dancing classes for humans & doggies wanting to “enhance their bond through music & movement”. Some of the MCF doggies have achieved titles and gained 1st & 2nd places in the World Canine Freestyle Organisation (WCFO) international video competitions!
.
Now some of you might have humans who are thinking, “But I can’t dance!” No worries.
In Canine Freestyle (that’s the official name for “doggie dancing”), there are 2 kinds of routines: Dance Routines and Theme Routines. In both of them, you’re doing tricks & moves in time to music but in the first type, you’re sorta boogie-ing more – whereas in the 2nd type, you’re sorta acting more and telling a story.
To show you what I mean, here is one of my favourite “Dance” type routines - performed by Henrietta the Dachshund: (see, her human isn’t doing fancy dance steps and she isn’t doing perfect Heeling or anything but they just look so happy and like they’re having lots of fun! THIS is what I think is a WINNER routine!)
.
And of course, there is the world-famous ‘Grease’ routine by Rookie the Golden Retriever: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mu7R4NtpgyM
.
And now here is a “Theme type routine” performed by a little boy (!) and his Schnauzer doggie, done to the ‘Pirates of the Carribean’ music: – aren’t they a great team? I love the bit where he & the Schnauzer roll over & under each other!
And here is another of my favourite “Theme” type routines – performed by Pogo the Colllie-cross & Disco the Portuguese Water Dog, and of course, their wonderful trainer, Richard Curtis: (see, here they’re not really dancing but just doing some tricks & stunts which fit the theme of the music…)
.
(And for a really incredible Dramatic routine, check out the famous “Gladiator” routine performed by Fly the Border Collie and his trainer, Attila - wow, that doggie is like “Super Dog!”: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0RjKJfuPbE)
I think Dramatic routines are particularly good if you’re a really athletic doggie – you can use all your favourite natural moves, like jumping high or running in wide circles or chasing things – and put them into your routine, as long as they fit the story!
So you see – your human doesn’t have to “dance” at all, if they don’t want to. And even if you decide to do a ‘dance’ type routine, it doesn’t mean that you have to do the Tango! (Although you can, if you want to! ) – just find a piece a music that you really like, that gets your human’s toes tapping, and just let go and have a bit of fun!
Edited to add: Some of you are freaking out and don’t dare enter ‘coz you’re worrying that you don’t know many tricks or can’t put together a super-fancy routine…and you’re thinking you just can’t do doggie dancing unless you can do something ‘amazing’ like these videos. Don’t worry! You don’t have to do advanced routines like these - but you can still do really nice, simple, short but fantastic routines as a beginner!
Check out this post with examples of really simple routines: DWTDS – Week 1
.
Now, did I mention that there are going to be some fantastic prizes?
Yup! I have had some really lovely, generous Sponsors donate some great prizes for the contest!
First, I’m sure you’ve all heard of Kyra Sundance and her Weimaraner, Chalcy - they are a fantastic team that perform the most amazing stunts and tricks, together with other members of the Sundance Dog Team.
Kyra has also made lots of bestselling books & DVD’s to help us doggies have fun with our humans. Her classic book, 101 Dog Tricks
Kyra really encourages all humans to “Do more with your dog!” and has even got a special training programme on her website to help doggies & their humans integrate fun training into their lifestyle.
Hsin-Yi loves this because she also really believes that a good, strong bond doesn’t come from just having cuddles or random walks – but from working together as a team and learning things together.
And guess what? Kyra has said that she will donate a copy of her latest book as a prize in my contest! Isn’t that so lovely and generous of her? It’s called 101 Ways to Do More with Your Dog
.
Next, remember my last Chinese dance routine when I had the most beautiful Chinese collar custom-made for my costume?
Well, it was made by my blog friends, Snoopy & Arrow’s human, who has a company called Around A Hound – and she has generously offered to donate a collar as a prize as well!
Around A Hound custom-makes beautiful, handmade collars in lots of different colours and fabrics – and not just for hounds but for smaller doggies too. (They also ‘remake’ your old collars for you – so if you have a beloved old collar that’s falling to pieces, they will repair it and make it all up again, as good as new – isn’t that eco-friendly too?)
So one lucky winner will get to choose their favourite colour & pattern and have a collar custom-made for them!
.
OK, now I know if there is one thing our humans love more than anything else, it’s getting a special portrait done of us to display and enjoy in our homes…
Well, there is nothing cooler than these Pop Art Pet Portraits by Superstudio!
You know you have those photos that capture a funny or special moment in your lives and always brings back happy memories?
The ones that show great character & personality?
Well, the cool people at Superstudio can turn them into a one-of-a-kind, custom portrait that you’ll love showing off to friends & family! Or if you’re looking for a unique gift for an animal lover, this is one that will really POP!
You can even choose the background colour you like and they can work from all sorts of digital photos.
Check out their Etsy store for more pictures:
http://www.etsy.com/shop/superstudio
Well, now those cool people at Superstudio have said that they will donate a special custom portait to one lucky winner as a prize for my contest! Isn’t that pawsome?!
.
And last but not least, I’m sure you all know about my very first dance routine to ‘Big Spender’…
…well, one of the things that made that routine so special was my fantastic costume – that debonair bow-tie & shirt collar!
Now, us dancing doggies are only allowed to wear things around our necks in the official competitions – we’re not allowed to wear proper dresses or shoes or anything like that as our costumes – so we have to get really creative about our ‘neckwear’!
And there’s no one better at that than Designer Duds for Dogs - the lovely people who made my very first dancing costume!
They specialise in creating beautiful, fancy neckwear for doggies – everything from elegant neckties & bowties to Western fringed bandanas to gorgeous Furra Wang wedding collars for the girls!
They also do all sorts of fashionable reversible bandanas and holiday/seasonal neckwear & collars, plus you can even have doggie accessories made of your human’s favourite sports team colours & logos so you can show your doggie support too!
All the collars and neckwear are custom-made so that they fit you perfectly – and they can even be washed if they get dirty or - ahem, slobbery!
And they have offered to donate a couple of their gorgeous neckwear collars as prizes for my contest!
.
.
.
Plus all pups who enter the contest will get some Aussie goodies from ME and a ‘Certificate of Pawticipation’ as well!
.
So are you excited yet? OK – here are the official rules for my Dancing With The Doggie Stars Contest:
1) Deadline for all routines is 15 Jun 2011. Show the video on your blog (& let me know) or send me the YouTube link. (If you don’t want everybody on YouTube to see it, you can check the ”Unlisted” option when you’re uploading your video – so that only those with the URL can see it).
My email is: bighoneydog(AT)gmail(DOT)com
* All routines will be showcased here in the ‘DWTDS Finale’, in June.
2) Routines need to be at least 1 min long - they can be longer if you like (sometimes it’s hard to stop when you’re having so much fun!)
3) The music you dance to must be ‘live’ - I mean, in the room with you at the same time - so you can’t just film yourself doing lots of tricks and then add music on top of it to your video afterwards! 
It should be a proper routine to match the music and you & your human moving to the music in real time.
4) You don’t have to wear a costume if you really don’t want to but it would be really nice if you could do something to make it more like a ‘performance’ and not just another every day training session - just something to help you & your human look coordinated and like a team. No need to go crazy with full theatricals or sequins or anything like that! It can be as simple as your human wearing black and you both wearing matching bandanas, like we did for the RSPCA Demo Team back in Brisbane…
…or just a hat or something that your human wears, to help match the theme of the music/story. If you look at the videos above, none of them had crazy, fancy costumes (well, OK, except for the Gladiator one!) but they just looked like they made a bit of an effort. After all, this is a dance contest, not a training contest, right? So we’re looking for a good show – and costumes are part of that!
5) Props are welcome! You can have any props you like, as long as they are used in the routine at least once and aren’t just ‘background scenery’.
6) To be fair to all the newbies, this contest is only for doggies who have never put together a dance routine in public before. So if you’ve just danced around at home or on your blog, that’s fine but if you compete in Canine Freestyle or have performed a routine ‘professionally’ before, then I’m afraid you can’t take part! Sorry! 
(But we would love to feature any guest performances if you like – there will be regular DWTDS ‘episodes’ every week!)
Oh – and here is a little ‘button’ for my contest – if you could please put it on your blogs and tell all your friends about it – and link back to this post (http://bighoneydog.com/dwtds) that would be great! Thank you!
I know lots of you have been learning loads of cool tricks and have been saying for ages that you’re going to put together a dance routine (yes, you know who you are! )… well, now you have no excuse!
Hey – and don’t worry if you don’t know loads of tricks & moves! Really – you don’t need to know lots of fancy tricks and be “superdog” to do a bit of dancing! Remember, this contest isn’t going to be judged on how difficult the routine is or how technically perfect you are or how good your Obedience training is (who cares if you don’t Heel?) or whether you can perform double-backwards somersaults!
It’s not the flashy stunts that make a really good routine but the team spirit of the doggie & human and how much FUN they’re having.
You can wow everyone with a really simple routine – as long as you’ve got a bit of good music and you’re having FUN! And you know we’re all friends here and we’ll all be cheering you on, whatever you do!
In any case, I will be posting regular DWTDS ‘episodes’ on my blog every week, with tips on teaching some basic tricks & dance moves plus choreography, choosing music and more - and some fantastic guest performances to inspire you!
So I hope you’ll all give it a go and come join us…
…on Dancing With The Doggie Stars!

Hurray, how fun and what a great contest! My favorite video was the weenie dog and his Master. I have never seen such a happy and fit weenie, in the States anyway they are all fat and lazy!
that is a great contest. We will enjoy watching the entries but we do not do any tricks and my human is too lazy, too much fun to be had splorin,
xo guinness
What a SUPERB contest! Too bad we are “professionals” & have performed in public several times already. I think it’s also not fair that we “pros” compete with newbies. I’m totally fine with this rule! I’d love to watch what the others will do. I bet they all will be very good. But we would so totally be honoured to be “guest performers” in your contest. Good luck to all the contestants taking part!
So exciting
It sounds like a load of fun and a good chance to spend some more time with our dogs!
I love to watch all those amazing videos of canine freestyle, and really looking forward to reading every week about it!
~ Mina
OOOO how exciting, hmmm now time to start practicing!
We are super excited to see what everyone comes up with 
Our hearts are beating so fast with excitement! We would love to participate but can we do it? We never had proper training before and we had never attended puppy school.
All those videos you showed in this post of dancing dogs are fantastic! They danced so well and were having so much fun.
We’ll give this contest some thoughts.
Honey, you never do anything half-way!! This looks like a wonderful contest and we can’t wait to see how it progresses. We love you!!
-Gizmo, Bart and Ruby
Hi Hsin-Yi, i hope there’s not an age limit on this contest, im 14 and would love to have a go at it with my gorgeous 9 month old staffy cross
i’ve just read this, and im already looking for fun tricks we can learn on the internet haha 
wish us luck!
Sounds like you woofies are going to have lots of fun with this one! And what wonderful prizes!!!!!
Me and Dad don’t dance. Teka doesn’t even do doga with muzzer. I think we are only going to observe on this one, but it sure looks like fun!
Gussie
What fun! Can’t wait to see the entries.
Drools and licks,
Minnie and Mack
That first video was so fun!
I cant wait to see the entries! And what great prizes!
Oh the pressure…….I keep saying I’m going to do it….now I have an actual deadline! Why do they have to put the word “dead” in that word anyway?
I’ll give it my best shot…for some reason, the costume part is scaring me the most! Isn’t Oreo already wearing a tux? DOes that count?
O Honey and Hsin-Yi you guys are fabulous!
We loved the Gladiator one -- we have also watched a Charlie Chaplin one as well, which was also great!
Fingers crossed about getting a new video camera and we will definitely be entering since we are definitely newbies to the dancing world! We have idea’s already!
Will shall do a post on our blog about it soon -- *hehe* though everyone reads our blog came through your blog 
I presume we can do regular updates on our blog of how our training for your you competition is coming along?
Licks and lots of slobber,
Lexi and Jasper the Danes
Well, this is going to put SOME pressure on my human….
!
But what a nice idea
We will give it a try Honey!
Ciao Lucille
WHooo Hooo Honey!! What a great contest to host!! You are the Queen of dancin’ doggies and I sure hope I can get Mom into shape before the line goes dead!! BOL!!
I think I am going to do a solo dance, but Jimmy wants to know if he can be in it too?? (Between you and me Honey, Jimmy only knows how to sit and even that is only for a second!!) *Rolls eyes* I think he will hurt my chances of winning!!
Oh boy oh boy… I’m off to listen to Itunes and try to find the most perfect song…
Licks,
Kylie
PeeS: “Kiss” is one of my commands! But I give a great big LICK!! BOL! Usually Mommy will turn her cheek to me and say “givamea Kiss” and SMACK! hehehehe she has to say it really fast like that or else I might catch her in the mouth when shes talking!! EEwww human germs!!
I agree with Sara! lol!
We are slowly working on a routine. 2 more months might motivate us more. What a great contest. I applaud you!
Ditto everything Sara said except I’m not already wearing a tux like Oreo is!
YES!
BOL -- that’s us barking out loud and BOL -- that’s Mom bursting out laughing:) No way could we ever do something like that, but we are going to be wonderful spectators. We just know there will be some great entries. We are sure that Christmas and her girls can whip up something -- they learn everything so very well.
Great contest, Honey and Hsin-Yi -- and some great prizes. This will be a huge event in Blogville. Bring it on.
Woos ~ Phantom, Thunder, and Ciara
You mean I gotta teach my Mom to dance……that’s going to be a challenge. Maybe I’ll let her and sissy work on this and I’ll supervise
What a FANTAASTIC idea! We can’t wait to see all the great dances and dramas that are going to come pouring in. We’re off to find a red carpet. And a mirror ball trophy. Abby could be a high energy pupperazzi. Pretty Girl could help Sarge work security. Jed is available in case Honey needs another personal assistant besides Muesli. Oh! Can cats submit feline freestyle videos? Maybe as a side event, like the non-competitive videos from the canine pros? BTW, we can’t wait to see Honey’s contribution
Jed & Abby
All the videos are great . I love to join too but I don’t have any technicality in training & my dogs also very lazy .Maybe I should watch & comment
Wow! Those dogs are talented!
I can’t wait to see everybody dancing! It’s a shame I can’t participate yet but I will enjoy watching and getting ideas and learning
I wish luck to everyone and have a really great time!
-Lilli-
wow, that is amazing, and exciting! I am going to have to look through my music collection, and find a place big enough to do it in!
Awesome idea, Honey. I’ve seen most of the videos before and Rookies always makes me cry, lol! I can’t say that Beryl or Frankie will compete but life’s full of surprises:) We will sure enjoy being spectators though. Now I’m off to watch the Emily and Henrietta video, which I haven’t already seen.
Just had to come back and say how much I enjoyed the Emily and Henrietta video:) I never knew a Dachshund could be so good and have so much fun. I don’t know why I’m surprised though, we’ve got a couple of cute little girls come along to Rally O training and they are really good at it and enjoy every minute.
Can’t wait to see the entries!

Yayyyyy !
I’m so happy ! I am so going to enter this contest …. my humans say they are a bit worried because these days I am VERY unruly and get distracted very easily -- this is a teenage thing they say -- I don’t think I’m that bad though and it doesn’t scare me ! We like adventure and dancing will be a great one for sure
Right now we are thinking about the song -- it must be a perfect one -- we have an idea but aren’t sure about it yet. We will sure talk about it in our blog and maybe post some videos of some training sessions !
But I have to tell you that I’m sorry Honey but …. I’m not a proper ballerina like you so it won’t be as great as your dancing but at least we’ll give it a try and will come up with something that will at least be fun ! I hope !
Talk soon,
Lincoln
Hi Honey
I’m a long time reader of your blog, and thought I’d say hi. I’m really looking forward to having a go at this challenge with my 7month old Lacey
Thanks for the fun idea!
Lacey and Brittany
Oh this will be so exciting. Can’t wait to see the entries. The little dog in the first video was so cute and looked like they were having so much fun. Good luck doggies, no worries, love Carol.
What a great contest! I’ll definitely put up your button and link
Those videos were amazing! My fav has to be the dancing dachshund though. Really made me smile big!
Waggin at ya,

Laters,
Anakin Man
Ok… Hmm. Since we have two months I’ll give it a try. Lots of practicing needed!
woo f- Tucker
You know… it sounds really interesting. My human says probably not because we are moving right before June 1st but she says that once we get some of the big stuff put away in storage she’ll think about it. Honestly, we just hope she hasn’t accidentally packed up the treat clicker…….
Hey Honey and Hsin-Yi, good on you guys for organising this competition! We’ll join in for sure (I’m just very glad that you’ve got a 2 month time frame cause we’re moving house and have got agility and obedience competitions plus a wedding down south and a trip to singapore & cambodia all in the next 4 weeks! Ekk -- talk about trying to pack too much into one short space of time hehe) Already have some ideas in the back of my mind ………
I’m so excited about this comp, although I have no idea yet what I’m going to do yet.
I’m glad the closing date is 2 months away, we’re going to need lots of practise but I’m sure Griffen will be up for the challenge.
Hi Honey,
Thank you for the invite. Mom says that she have to think about this before promising anything. She talking about starting the last years project so she might be too busy. The school has been her excuse for the last years laziness on blogging. (She keeps saying that she rather spends time off computer with us than blogging). But you will hear from us if she manages to get something done.
Sunniest spring greetings from Finland, beagles Ressu & Lenni
Hi Honey! Glad you enjoyed the videos
To answer your question, Mom uses a combination of software… crazy talk animator, adobe photoshop & premier, plus another animation software by Smith Micro and who knows what other ones she’ll add in the future. Nutty ;P
Waggin at ya,
Roo
How exciting! This could be a lot of fun! I’ll do my best to put something together.
Honey my sweet , bootiful fwiend
I have aways loved seeing you and Hsi Ying doing youw gweat wootines.
I think it’s a wondewful contest, but Although, Mommi loves to dance, I am hopeless.
I will be among the enthoosiastic watchewws wooting fow my favowites.
smoochie kisses
ASTA

Wish I had a dog, then I would enter!
It’s a very fun challenge! Btw, I updated my blog on the subject “Candy the Chihuahua” 
I will get to Caesar as soon as possible!
Hi Honey,
Yup we’d be happy to be a little feature to encourage people to enter
We have finally brought a new video camera…well our humans have :p So we have no excuses
Let us know when you would like it
Licks and lots of slobber,
Lexi and Jasper the Danes
G’day Honey & Hsin-Ye
cause now my teenager humans have been pulled into line. They haven’t had a lot of mixing with other dogs as they have had me all their lives & I have been the family dog & tolerate them lol So they are now being trained on proper dog/owner etiquette hehehe it’s good to see Deb have them in training, but they don’t seem to like my treats hmmm silly humans 
MY FAVOURITE thing to do!!
Soo much energy, they all look like they’re having a good time. Not my bag though maybe in my younger days, but I can’t hear the music now a days (which in a houseful of teenagers where music is playing all the time, it’s not a bad thing to be deaf!) Although Deb wishes we could do it, as I would do ANYTHING for treats but we also figure that perhaps it wouldn’t be fair cause your going to be staying here, others may think we have an unfair advantage getting tips from a professional
Deb read out Hsin-Ye email about your last visit, see Humans being dobbers sometimes is a good thing
Deb also said that I have to let you & her go on walks together without me!! Something about bonding, hmmm not sure I like that idea cause she is MY human, I am getting used to the idea of sharing her with other doggies, we have had other doggies come to stay too, but to go without me on walks! So not fair, Deb says that I would not be able to keep up nor last the distance these days & she is sooo not carrying me back up the hill! Be assured that I will make you both feel guilty about leaving me behind, my teenage humans will feel sorry for me & take me out for a little walk & even better a ride in the car! So fun these days Honey as they both have cars & I get lots of little rides
Well that’s enough for now cya ya on Thursday, now is sleep time
cya
Bloss & Deb
Hi Honey,
What a cool contest, mom is all excited know because she wants to do a dance routing with me! We will see what we come up with. We searched some dancing dog videos (and saw yours! and these look like so much fun!)
My mom wanted to thank your mom for stopping by our blog and offering the training advice, it was very helpful and appreciated. Thank you!
Woof!
Kirby
Wow, Honey! This contest sounds so fun. My mom loves to dance and she really wants us to learn a routine (mom has in mind MJ’s recently released ‘Hollywood’) and hopefully we can find some time to learn a few steps at least.
You know I first came to your blog when mom was doing some research on ‘Dane ear infections’ and found a link on Savage’s blog about a contest on drools or slobbers on your blog. We have been hooked on your adventures ever since.
Love,
Blue-Sea
Oh pooh! I’m not quite qualified for the fun contest. I haven’t competed yet, but I did win a prize in a “dance contest” at our Canine Musical Freestyle weekend “camp” last October in far-away Wisconsin, so I guess I’ll just have to one of the voters for the true beginners. But your prizes are way better than the one I got — a silly little stuffed puppy-dog holding a blanket. I mean, why would a real dog need a stuffed dog? And the blanket was way too small for a huge dog like me (I know you can sympathize, Honey!). Anyway, I’m very excited to see all the contestants’ videos, especially the “dramatic” ones because that’s what my human and I specialize in!
ohh..this sounds so much fun! I can’t wait to see all the contestants’ videos!
Mommy and I are going to try putting something together too although she has been so busy with her “new project”as she was saying, I don’t get as much attenton from her these days but we have got some time still until June. We will certainly try!
The judges seem to be very kind, unlike the mean ones in those human shows.
wags,
Preston
Hi honey,
It’s already been proving lots of fun working with Lacey training her for this competition! She really likes it when I let her help out too, the freeshaping exercises! At the moment we’re working on fun tricks where she gets to interact with me, but I won’t give too much away!
I’m having a bit of trouble trying to find a good song but I’m sure we’ll et there soon!
Lacey and Brittany
What a fun competition! And you have some great prizes, too. Not sure I can put together any kind of dance routine with a tripod greyhound who already has a touch of arthritis in that hip, let alone the fact that neither of us have ever done anything like it before, but I’ll be watching the contestants with interest!
Loved the dachshund. Such a great little dog and owner partnership -- they certainly did have fun, didn’t they? And yes, the Attila routine and the Mission Impossible routine were amazing!
WE ARE SO GONNA ENTER
we have a some Q’s
can el’bow enter because we did a routine already? so can he dance to (with a new routine) and can we both enter? because sanne says that hauwii is a super duper dancer
well it looks like FUN FUN FUN
kissslobbers
El’bow & Hauwii
Oh wow! This is exciting! Can I put your logo on my blog to send people here? I have more videos to watch in your newest post to learn some more.
We will definitely be entering the contest! This will be me and Luna’s very first freestlye routine!
This is gonna be soooo much funs! I am so glad I didn’t miss it!
Licks,
Ruthie
Hi
Sorry for the late reply. The Internet has been down but I will try and cook up a picture of the two of us for you! Its usually just me behind the lens so I’ll have to take a new one and I’ll email it to you soon. Sorry for not making it for the right blog post!
Lacey and Brittany
Hey Honey, do you know the song that Henrietta dances to?
Licks,
Ruthie
