&nbsp;

TODAY is Day 313, and TODAY is the first day of voting for <strong><a href="http://www.azfoothills.com" target="_blank">Arizona's Favorite Dog</a></strong>!  The polls open at noon PST at <strong><a href="http://www.azfoothills.com" target="_blank">www.AZFoothills.com.</a></strong>  You can <em><strong>vote as many times as you like</strong></em> (I am entry #160) from now until September 15th.  Which just so happens to be Michelle's birthday.  Is it a coinkidink, or is it A SIGN?!?!

&nbsp;

Anywho, you know that <strong><a href="http://www.diaryofalatebloomer.com/2011/06/22/day-267-some-dogs-have-all-the-luck/" target="_blank">I have been dreaming of a lucky break for quite some time now</a></strong>.  It all started during my hard knock life on the streets of Yuma, Arizona.  Back when I was a street urchin, I vowed a) that I would never go hungry again and b) that one day I would be in pictures.  You know, pictures like the movies.  I think that once I am crowned Arizona's Favorite Dog, Hollyweird will finally take note!

&nbsp;

I want this so badly, I cannot even tell you!  O.k.  I can tell you.  I want this more than rabbits!  More than crickets!  More than lizards!  More than cicadas!

&nbsp;

Please consider casting your vote for me <em><strong>as many times as you want</strong></em> from today at noon PST until September 15th.  Entry #160 at <a href="http://www.AZFoothills.com" target="_blank"><strong>www.AZFoothills.com.</strong> </a>

&nbsp;

I appreciate your support.

&nbsp;

Yours in Dreaming Big,
