Hi everyone! It's been a long time since we posted anything and we are sorry for that. Been real busy with getting Anka settled and trained, plus Gretchen hasn't been making this easy for us. Although Gretchen's limping varies from one leg to another, she is fine and the vet says it's just a strain from running too hard.
On to business! We have entered Chuy in the Phoenix Cutest Pet contest on KPHO.com. KPHO is the CBS affiliate here in Phoenix. We entered him to show people that even a Tripawd can be beautiful, cute and live a normal life. If he wins the prize money is to be donated to a charity. There is a camcorder also, which we really don't need, so don't know what we'll do with that yet. Anyway, if you all could find it in your hearts to register with kpho.com and vote for Chuy, we would really appreciate it! You get to vote 3 times every day. The voting started yesterday and there are some dogs with over 70 votes already, Chuy only has 15, so we have some catching up to do!
When you register, go to the search and type in "Chuy". He's the only Chuy in the contest, that will bring up his voting page.

Thank you all for voting for Chuy. Remember, you can vote 3 times, every day. I think this contest runs until the end of Feb.
As for the camcorder and prize money, mom wants to send the prize money to a kitty rescue but the camcorder will definetly be on the way to Wyatt so we can watch his antics via Jim & Rene'.

Mom put it on my MySpace page and in my status there. She also put it on Gretchen's MS page & status. Then she went and put it in her FB status. As of tonite, there are 39 votes. Mom says she saw another dog on page 8 that has 134 already! Wow, I wonder if we'll be able to beat that?

Sorry Jerry, but your records are wrong. My Ampuversary is 8/20, I'm willing to celebrate every day though!
Keep on voting. I'm over 200 votes now and we have until the 28th to finish the 1st round. Then the 2nd round starts on 3/1 thru 3/7. Maybe with fewer to compete with I'll really get there!
Goooooooooooo Tripawds!!!!
