Vote for Lucy - my Terrier/Warthog mix- in the Bissell MVP contest this week!
Edited on Fri Jan-29-10 09:06 AM by ehrnst
Lucy is now in the Bissell MVP (Most Valuable Pet) contest this week. If she gets to the semi-finals and the finals, the rescue that saved her, Homeward Trails Animal Rescue, will get the $10,000 prize money. Here's more on Homeward Trails (http://www.homewardtrails.org).

You can vote for more than one pet in the contest, and voting for this period ends midnight, Thursday, Feb 4. You do need to register on their site, but it's free and you won't get spammed:

Lucy, (our beloved Glen of Imaal Terrier) is entered in week 4 of Bissell MVP (Most Valuable Pet) Contest.

And if she gets to the semi-finals, then wins, Homeward Trails Animal Rescue gets $10,000!! Lucy adopted us in 2002 through Homeward Trails.

You need to register, but it's free, and you won't get spammed. Vote any time up until midnight, Thursday, Feb 4. You can vote for more than one pet, so it won't prevent you from helping out another rescue in the contest as well.

Please vote, and spread the word to your friends! Homeward Trails is a well run organization, based in Arlington, and does great work helping underfunded rural shelters in VA and WV.

Thanks!!!


About the contestant:

Lucy was rescued from death row in a rural WV shelter in 2002. Now 9 years old, she was originally thought to be a Terrier/Warthog mix, but we now know her to be a Glen of Imaal Terrier (and undisputed Queen of the Couch). Lucy's patience with, and training of 20+ foster dogs over the years has helped prepare these pooches for their forever homes. Lucy is generously granting her star quality to the cause of raising money for Homeward Trails Animal Rescue, and has truly earned her Diva status.

Lucy's favorite pastimes are eating, ridding the world of squirrels, napping in a patch of sunshine, eating, being worshipped, and attempting to clean up the "boulevard bon-bons" left behind by other pooches. Her goals are world peace, effective health reform legislation, and making sure the dishes are thoroughly clean prior to being loaded in the dishwasher.
