Maybe this thread just facing reality a bit more, hehe. Well, we gave it our best and did all we knew to do. Maybe we'll all be pleasantly surprised and find out that tiny surge at the end held. Sure was close! Being Columbus Day, I hope they don't take the day off or something and we have to wait until Tuesday or something to find out!!!!!!

Good luck YH...I hope you win!! I've been voting daily and watching our numbers fall. I think when I started voting, YH was at the 200 mark, so they've definitely came a long way.

Wouldn't it be cool to see one of the littlest breeds of dogs win the big race?!?

I am afraid to celebrate, we sure were the little train that could (boy talk about an old reference).

Lessons learned for the next Shelter Challenge!!! Who is ready for the next one? I am, I love to that dangling carrot in front of my nose. I will start early and set up at Farmers Market with information on the YHR and encourage votes and give away coffee.

OMG!!! Someone stop me now!!!!

Jeanie, I was going to say the same thing, or something close to it!

I'm really impressed with how hard everyone worked so hard and came up with so many inventive ways to help the YHR Pups! The is one of the reasons I love YT so much! Fantastic job everyone

ladyjane · 10-14-2013, 02:23 PM

Yes, we are all still waiting.

OMG NO MORE Shelter Challenges....rofl!! It is true...YT was amazing in this!!!! Honestly you carried us all this time...and all we needed was the extra jolt at the end.
Fingers are crossed and I am watching the emails closely.

Hey, I'm ready.... count me in for support on the next one. I'll have to find a way to reach total strangers cause my email and FB friends are a little sick of me right now, haha.

Oh yeh, and then there is the problem that I indulged in some goodies at Starbucks and MacDonalds that I normally wouldn't have and I swear my shorts are tighter after several "voting tours".

I'm thinking up alternative ways to get votes next time. I can dress Tiki up and take her for a walk at the beach.... lots of vacationers sit around with the iPads, Kindles, phones, etc, and they will want to pet little Miss Personality, maybe even get a kiss, and I'll hand them a little pawprint paper with with the website and ask for votes.

Oh.... how about a Yorkie Kissing Booth. Tiki will give kisses for votes. Well, maybe not; I don't want her to catch anything, haha.

YazminD · 10-14-2013, 05:36 PM

Thanks, I needed this... You're too funny!

I think I "cheated" a few times. I voted on 1) ipad 2) iphone 3)dh iphone
4) dd iphone 5) work pc 6) home pc 7) my laptop 8) even pulled out an old lap top to vote

I will say ... I don't think I got all the votes in ...a couple of times it said I had already voted.

Maybe we can all visit you in Paradise next year and do those things!

Marhcarter · 10-14-2013, 06:26 PM

Just checked. Still no results. I think I burned out my coworkers, too. I will not be asking them to vote on any cute dog contests anytime soon. Sorry guys!
