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.

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.

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.

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. :)

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

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!

What are the "dark horse" prizes they mention for the ones who make it in the top 10 but not that top 3? Is that just recognition, nothing else?

Keep voting.
There's more at stake than just the top three prizes.
Each week a $1000 prize is awarded (I think random) and there's a new prize this time - Champion Challenge Award - for the shelter with the most cumulative votes in all three of the year's races.
The Dark Horse prizes are reserved for rescue organizations that have never won any other prize in any past Challenge or in the current Challenge. This includes Final, State/Regional, Weekly, Story, Photo, and other special prizes. I don't think BRAT would qualify since they did receive weekly and maybe state prizes in the past.BRAT has a chance for one of the prizes – keep voting! We have until December 19.
