I haven’t forgotten the contest, I’m just very slow in getting the list of favorites posted. While I haven’t mentioned this on my page until now, our dog (Samson) was hit by a car on Wednesday. He’s doing well, but his front leg is broken in two places. He was released from the vet’s office yesterday and now he begins the long, slow process of healing. Sammy is not quite used to his splint yet and he’s still feeling all the aches and pains of his injuries, so he’s being more of a baby than usual. He wants to be next to me constantly and he whines and cries when I get too far away. Unfortunately my desk is in the corner of the room, between the wall and the woodstove, and there’s just not enough room for both Sam and my chair. Therefore the favorites page can only be written in short spurts, because I just can’t bear to hear him cry when he discovers he can’t be right beside me.

I am going to continue working on things tonight and both the favorites page and the winners will be posted by morning. I promise I’m not procrastinating, just trying to keep my sweet doggie comfortable and happy. Thank you so much for being patient and understanding.
