Alayne was off the other evening again looking for the Beagle-in-a-hole, blind Austin, when she noticed Oliver the wire-haired Dachshund sitting near an aspen. She had seen him playing with Austin not long before, so she figured — Inspector Clouseau-like — that the wily Beagle might be near at hand. Sure enough, as she got closer to Oliver, she could see Austin hiding in a newly discovered hole, trying to be as inconspicuous as possible. Except for that confounded Dachshund marking the spot.

Yes, indeed, it looks like we managed to come in third in the Shelter Challenge — the Top 10 results today show us in 3rd place — a feat we still find rather amazing! It just shows you how a whole lot of people, individually doing something for a common cause, can really add up. But while we'll have to hold off celebrating until the official results are announced on Wednesday, Alayne and I wanted to say a big "thank you!" to all of you who kept casting your votes, day after day after day, for the past few months. We appreciated that dedication more than you can imagine.
Speaking of which, it's kind of odd not having to vote in the Shelter Challenge today, isn't it? That became such a daily habit — but one we're glad to give up for awhile!
