My 1st Shot At Stardom

Karen saw this contest in the Straits Times in late Sept 2004. The theme was about capturing pets in funny poses. She sent this photo in and on World Animal Day (4th Oct 2003), I found out that I had won a prize! Everyone was elated and I was given extra TLC and special VIP treatment! I had won a $100 voucher to use at the pet shop! Yippee!!!

Since World Animal Day coincided with the Feast Day of St Francis of Assisi (who is the patron saint of the environment and animals), Sharon and Karen took me to church for a special blessing just for animals. I was so excited to see so many of my furry doggie friends! There were also some cats, but I did not interact with them as I am not too fond of them. A boy brought a parrot and it made me hungry for a while as it looked a little bit like the nice spring chicken that Mummy makes for me. But since I was getting my special blessing, I had to behave. More details on that next time when I post my next blog.
