TOURNAMENT OF PETS MUG

 

My little buddy, Casey, was lucky enough to win the Tournament of Pets 2007 as The Best Pet 2007.  For his efforts, he got a really cool personalized mug from the Tournament Director, Briane.  I know its been a few weeks since I received it but I have been sick and I didn't want to take a picture during that time.  I'm feeling a little better now so I decided it was time to get this "show on the road" so to speak and show everyone the adorable mug that was given.  Today we went to the off-leash dog park and I had my son take a picture of Casey and me with the mug.  I also took a couple of close up pictures of the mug so you can see how nice it is.  Please don't look at the lady in the pictures - she wishes to remain anonymous LOLOL.  Just kidding.  :) 

Here's a picture of Casey, the mug and myself:

Here's a picture of the front of the mug showing Casey swimming in the water in Canada:

Here's the one side of the mug:

Here's the opposite side of the mug:

 My sincere Thanks to Briane for holding this contest and doing so much work on maintaining this contest.  I know it was a lot of work and I really appreciate everything that was done.  Thank you!  Thank you!  Thank you!  

 

Lisa and Casey

Nice to finally see you. Hey whats wrong with letting us see you? None of us are Marllyn Monroe on here. I only use a rose, because I tried for three months to put up a picture of Donald and Norma together and the rose is all that would get up there.

congratulations to you and Casey on the win Lisa, and I think your picture is great and I think you could use it as your icon, just crop it a little and put just you and Casey in it, how great would that be, We all look like we look and what's not too love, I love seeing you , loons too are nice, but you and Casey, well that is special.

Bethany C. Nov 4, 2007, 1:25am EST
I can relate. I feel terrible about my own pictures. I keep thinking the next one is bound to be a better one.
The truth is you look just fine. And Casey, too. It's nice to put a friendly, smiling face with the friendly voice.
I'm gonna do that, too. Just as soon as I get a halfway decent picture of myself...
Jennine D. Nov 4, 2007, 1:38am EST
Awesome, Congratulations and Lisa your look fine to me. I know how it is to not feel well and think you don't look good but hey your a nice looking lady. Casey is a nice looking pooch too.

~Sia McKye~ Nov 4, 2007, 8:59am EST
Congratulations Casey!

Lisa, something my mom always says: "Beauty and happiness is an inside job."

You can have an absolutely beautiful statue. That's beauty on the outside, and its cold and lifeless. Beauty comes from the life within us, our spirit, who and what we are insice, which lights up the outside with beauty and warmth.

Your beauty shows in the warmth of your smile, and Casey's adoration of you.

Thanks for sharing both pictures.
Breanna E. Nov 4, 2007, 9:32am EST
Oh! Congratulations! That is a great mug! What a beautiful dog!!!
carmel m. Nov 4, 2007, 9:33am EST
