The WINNER!!

As you've probably already noticed, the winner of Project Dogway has been decided. It looked like it might be a landslide at first, but Gus and Indy pulled up from behind, losing by only 4 votes.
I would like to say that I think everyone who participated in Project Dogway is fantastic and especially these two who made it to the very end and put a lot of effort into their entries. I commend everyone for taking the time to be creative with your fur-friends, including them in your arts and crafts project and letting them know how fierce they really are!

And now we want to give a huge CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!! to Puddy!!! Puddy Potter really made it work, earning him 57% of the vote. Let's get one more look at that handsome mug:
Literary inspiration and a hand knit scarf pushed Puddy in to the winner's circle. You've earned yourself an honored spot on our blog sidebar as well as a GRAND PRIZE! The grand prize will remain a secret until it arrives at your house. We only ask that you make sure to post pictures of your winnings when you get them.

Our very inspired, very honored runners up......INDY AND GUS!! gave us some great entries as well....King and Queen of the flapper jungle showed real point of view and serious fierce-ness.
Our runners up will also be receiving a super secret prize as well!! Again, we just ask that you post pictures of your winnings when you receive them.

Thanks to everyone who participated, commented and voted on Project Dogway. I really challenge any other creative individuals out there to start a contest or project on their own blog. It's been a lot of fun and I'll miss getting so many great pictures every week, but I know there are others out there with some great ideas as well.

And now, if my winner and runner up will please email me your snail mail addresses at (one more time with emphasis): PROJECTDOGWAY@YAHOO.COM
I will get your stuff out to you ASAP!

EDIT: p.s. - all the weeks' winners from the previous 8 challenges have now been linked through their pictures on the sidebar. The weekly winners' pictures will remain on our side bar for the next few months. You've all earned yourself 'link-age' - woohoo!
(In reality, I just now realized you can put a link behind those pictures. I would have done this ages ago, but I'm a little slow.....yea.....)
