<p>This year, they kept mentioning the "everyday dog" show contest.  Everyday dog's owners were encouraged to sign up their pooch at <a href="http://www.petcentric.com">www.petcentric.com</a>. </p>

<p>So...guess what I did on Day 66?  :-) </p>

<p>Bella's precious mug is entered into two categories:  Most Lovable (where she looks so stinkin' cute) and Best Expression (where she looks sweet and coy).  Please cast your vote for Bella by clicking here.  You don't need to choose one -- you are allowed to vote in both categories.  You also have the option of spreading the good puppy karma through facebook and twitter. </p>

<p>If you are new to the blog, I adopted Bella three weeks ago today.  She was a street urchin in Yuma, AZ (hell on Earth) and was rescued and fostered by Mixed-Up Mutts.  She is an absolute ANGEL of a dog, and everyone who meets her falls head over heels for her because she has so much love to give.  She snuggles with everyone she meets.  She would actually make the perfect therapy dog. </p>

<p>BELLA FOR MOST LOVABLE!!! </p>
