Shelter Challenge

[giza1]

And you can vote once a day from every browser on your computer!
I've downloaded 5 browsers - safari, opera, chrome, seamonkey and firefox - so I get in 5 votes a day.

I went to place my daily vote and was horrified to see that we'd dropped - keep voting please friends.

I use the www.tinyurl.com/voteforBRAT link

[wizard]

I did my part!

[DebraDownSouth]

I posted on not dog boards I am on, facebook, emailed friends. If we all beg friends to help surely we can get back in the running because as of today, STILL not up.

[DebraDownSouth]

Very sad… we are slipping more percentage wise. Please everyone, beg all your contacts to vote for the next few weeks..
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help and vote for BRAT in the Shelter
Challenge. We have fallen out of the top ten--and out of the top spot
in Texas. We risk getting shut out of prize money if this continues.
To vote, go to:

put in Garland, Texas and choose Basenji Rescue & Transport.

[Arwen]

Agreed. I vote from home, my phone and work. Share it on Facebook and Twitter as well. I'll send it out to my co-workers again.

[Kipawa]

Yes, keep on voting. One thing I like about voting (besides helping wonderful basenjis) is the verification system you have to use right before they accept your vote. Most websites that use a verification system have jumbled up letters and numbers that I often can't make out. But the voting website uses gorgeous pictures of different animals. What a great idea!

Please vote everyone!

[Shannanigan]

Yay! Links! Voting now - thank you!

[Arwen]

Several co-workers have voted. I may or may not have threatened to "shank a puppy" if the Goldens beat us.

NOTE: I love all dogs and my mom's beloved Golden was an amazing dog. They know I'm joking around.

BRAT still has not made it into the top 10 – we need votes EVERY DAY.

[DebraDownSouth]

I am very discouraged, we are well out of top ten, but worse, slipping where we get money which is in the TX numbers. Only top gets money and we were originally top, then behind less than 0.1… they are steadily pulling away.

[Shannanigan]

Last I checked, BRAT was 11…did it change that quickly? I put the youtube video of the Wimauma puppies on my facebook and added the tinyurl link to vote for BRAT, with a little plea to my friends to vote and saying that Paco says thank you. Hard to tell if anyone actually votes, though.

[Arwen]

I am going to tweet it again tonight.

[Shannanigan]

I work online, so I posted it for all of my co-workers to see, and many of them have turned out to be animal lovers and have committed to voting every day as well as tweeting and facbooking the link.

[DebraDownSouth]

I feel so sad to see us losing more and more ground in the texas group, which is where we get funds.

[Arwen]

We are still 2nd in TX. Vote y'all.

[moetmum]

Keep voting everyone, we are back in the top 10!

[Shannanigan]

Yup! I've announced it on Facebook and at my job - everyone's excited to be in on it!

[DebraDownSouth]

The problem is this… top 10 doesn't help. Brat gets money for being number one in TEXAS, and we aren't... so we got to push harder! GO GO GO!

We know this but we are going in the right direction! Just got to keep going!
