Can Stewie enter with a ‘not so rubber’ Hedgie?! Or is that considered cheating?!? 
Hehehe! Now I know that Mom would never let Wyatt Dawg have a piece of that Tub Pie! He has much better things to do than shred tubs... he’s looking to defend the world and he has no problem telling the world that “WYATT DAWG IS IN THE HOUSE!!!” I so love your singing voice though Wyatt!
Jerry was allowed certain ‘special privaledges’ because he was certainly a very ‘special boy!’
Lots of love and hugs to you guys!

Remember...“live in the moment!“ 
My vote?? Brng it on Thewie!! We'll just comsider a Hedgie a Canadian version of chicken😎
Happy Hannah had a glorious additional bonus time of over one yr & two months after amp for osteo! She made me laugh everyday! Joined April's Angels after send off meal of steak, ice cream, M&Ms & deer poop!
Isn't that a "Chicken Hog"? Turkey feathers on chickens, chicken feathers on hedgies, all sounds quite fair to me...🐆🐹🐓🐥🦃
Hugs,
Jackie, Bo, Andy, Oscar, Phoebe, and the coolest feral tripawd kitty Huckleberry 
How about Huck entering the competition ???
Nobody said cats can’t participate and him being feral and all, should be a great contender 😺🐔🥊🥊🥊🥊

Eurydice 77kg/170lb Great Dane limping end of April 2016, amputation (right front leg/osteosarcoma) 4 May 2016 6 courses of carboplatin followed by metronomic therapy, lung mets found 30 Nov 2016. 3 courses of doxorubicin, PET scan 26 Jan 2017 showed more mets so stopped chemo. Holistic route April 2017. Lung X-ray 5 May 2017 showed several tennis ball size mets, started cortisone and diuretics. Miss Cow earned her XXL silver wings 12 June 2017, 13 months and 1 week after amputation and 6 1/2 months after lung mets, she was the goofiest dawg ever and is now happily flying from cloud to cloud woof woofing away :-)

Cats, hedgies, whatever strikes your fancy I say go for it! There is no shortage of stuffies, squeakies and tub toys that need a good shake and toss!

Hmmmm ...
There is a given Penguin and Woodpecker we all know who are now getting quite interested in participating in this competition under Angel Eurydice’s guidance ...
Does that count ?

Meg, the bar just got waaaay lower!!!
Now if we hace a category for least Interested.....well...here we go!
Starting with Nellie (surely a very, very distant relative of The Pie somewhere along the way)
From Nellie, we go to Bob.

Teresa, game on 👍👍👍🤣😉❤️❤️🐧🐮🐓 <---- dang it I cannot find a woodpecker?!!🤬

Learning from Bob and Nellie's reaction, I decided I needed to STRATEGIZE. As my tripawd friends who visited me recently kmow, STRATEGIZING is the key to WINNING....just like I did in my FIRST time playing Cards Against Humanity!!! 🤣😃😂😎😁
I digress. ..
So I played the video of Meg with the rubber chicken so Merry Myrtle could develop her winning strategy!! Not a good video, but you can see her ears perk up as she listens . Keep in mind, she couldn't actually see the video.

So after !merry Myrtle. .er..."watched" Meg's tutorial , I introduced her to the package with the chicken in it .
Ahh haa...from the way she carries that package around, looks like she will be friends with that xhixken.
Stay tuned.....

Oh goodness, you GO Myrtle! Myrtle's got a present, mama... your pup psychology is awesome!

It seems to me the least interested category is going to be the most hotly contested of all!
Nellie is a VERY strong contender. It takes serious commitment to achieve such a prize-winning level of disdain towards a rubber chicken.
Bob leaps straight into the lead in the cardboard tag category. He is the one to watch. No question!
And Myrtle, well it's clear that Team Happy Hannah are taking no chances with this contestant. Coached by non other than the recent winner of Cards Against Humanity herself, evidence has emerged that Merry Myrtle has been studying the tactics of the MegaStar, considered a classic in terms of what NOT to do.
No effort has been spared in preparing Merry Myrtle for her endeavour, and to see her striding, equipment in mouth, so confidently up the ramp, no one could doubt that Team Happy Hannah's efforts are about to be richly rewarded.
Ruby, Staffy, born June 2022, became a Tripawd, November 2023, adopted January 2024.
Also Angel Tripawd Meg (aka The Megastar), who died in April 2023, aged 14, after seven glorious years on three, and Angel Staffies Elsie Pie and Bille. In the pawprints of giants...
