I am so excited to help Yorkie Haven Rescue

Ohhhhhh ------ so close. I'm hoping.

Came to see if we know the results yet. The suspense has me on pins and needles. The website isn't giving the results.

I don't know anything yet...didn't get to bed after 3am, in a last ditch effort posted all over facebook pages having anything to do with Yorkie's...I think many of them really came through.

Linda is pretty sure we won, a few people were still awake at the end and YH was on top by a small margin. Luckily a few facebook users with large followings like Owned by Yorkies, and Misa Minnie came though during the last few hours and brought in a bunch of votes. Of course the huge support by Yorkie Talk members helped tremendously and I think is the main reason YHaven was so consistently close during the whole contest.

Fingers and paws crossed

As of now, the web page says results are not yet available.

I didn't call dh, though, so by the time I got ot home, he was dialing the phone and Huey was staring intently at the road in front of the house, looking for my car. I saw him start jumping up on the screen door as I turned into my drive. I had to tell dh a little white lie and said I went to breakfast with coworkers, because he would really give me a hard tome about what I really did, since he says I spend way too much time on yt anyway!
When I got home and checked the standings, I was thrilled that we have inched ahead again and hope that I have helped that a little, at least! Not to mention I made all my coworkers vote last night, too, including our ED physician...teehee

I love all these stories about what members did to get some votes. Really fun to read! I already told Linda this, but thought I would share anyway. I was in church helping people vote on their phones before things got started. Feeling slightly guilty about this part ... I was on someone's phone when church started and we were singing the first hymn. Here I was voting instead of participating. Naughty?

Tell them we might have to have re-vote and get ready to start voting again!!! Okay that is not true and you are a nicer person than I, but it might get them off you back for a few minutes.

just checked the voting site and it still says sorry results are not available check back later. I did email them yesterday asking when the results would be up, no reply. I also just discovered they have a face book page, so I posted there asking the same thing.

I will look up the link to their facebook page and then you guys can post as well.

here is the link to the contest's facebook page, perhaps if we all start asking when we will know the results we will get an answer. Odd but it seems like I am the only one that asked.

They did say it would take some time in the rules. I am sure it is a bit much because they have all of the states and also other countries. And other prizes besides the votes.
I am hopeful it will be today....but who knows? Trying not to agonize...but it is so hard since we all worked so hard at this.
