My little dog won! Thank you!

[Rhiannon12866]

Meneken, my little guy, is the Nestle "Pet of the Month" for November!!! He won! Meneken prevailed, despite serious competition, from numerous countries, and it couldn't have happened to a more deserving little dog. I never doubted that he'd win this contest, since he's such an unusual and special little dog. It's silly, I know, but it meant something to me, since he dodged a bullet, twice, before he found me. It's obvious that they rewrote what I said about him, but I don't much care. It's still very nice. I just hope that this makes him as happy as he is in this picture. He got special treats tonight, as if he doesn't, most nights. :loveya:

Thanks so much for your help and your votes, my friends. I wanted you to be the first to know. :bounce:

I am still all excited by this, but I shared celebratory pizza with Meneken, which he absolutely loves, and he's now asleep on the couch behind me, snoring, as I type this. :D :hi:

8. Thank you, my friend, and the same from Meneken!

And I know that I owe you a PM. I spoke to my SO again about what we discussed, just this morning. He said he'll take care of it, today. Thanks for your support of Meneken and for your friendship. This is what makes DU my home. :D

9. No worries!

:pals:

But next time ... Think of the Kittens! :rofl:

[Rhiannon12866]

11. Thanks, my friend! And I voted for a cat just last month!

He belongs to my friend, LoveMyCali, who also belongs to DU. He was the "Pet of the Month" for October, and the reason that I entered Meneken... :D

6. Congrats!

Glad to hear that the little one took them all!

Special treats all around!:toast:

[Rhiannon12866]

10. Thanks, malta blue!

And you may sometime meet the little celebrity, LOL! And the special treats were pizza, which he is just crazy about! He is now asleep on the couch behind me, snoring loudly, LOL, but he always snores. He has that kind of pushed-in little face. *sigh* :D

Rhiannon:hi:

[malta blue]

12. Pizza for the pooch

:rofl:

BTW, I was planning to PM you today...I've been outrageously busy these days but lets get together soon!
:hi:

[Rhiannon12866]

14. Sounds good to me.

I had to be in GF yesterday, hated to rush, but I am hopeless at driving on the Northway in the dark. But I'd love to meet up soon. I'm available anytime but Tuesday, when I have to be in GF to vote...:hi:

[In_The_Wind]

7. That's wonderful news!

Treats for everyone!

[Rhiannon12866]

13. Thanks, Joan, and thanks for the treats!

And Meneken and I already had pizza, LOL! He's full, just now, and snoring behind me...:rofl:

I posted this pic of us, on the boat, for you on another thread, but you may have missed it. Meneken is quite the sailor, loves boat rides. :D

Rhiannon:hug:

[In_The_Wind]

16. I missed that picture! You & Meneken are beautiful!

:loveya: Thanks for posting it again! I think I may have been away from DU too long.

[Rhiannon12866]

26. Thanks, Joan!

That was about the only time that I posted a pic of myself on DU, but I just love that pic, LOL! And Meneken loves riding on the boat! :D :pals:

15. Cool beans! Congrats! nt

[Rhiannon12866]

27. Thank you, my friend! I was hoping that you'd see this...

I'm sure it's no huge surprise to you that he won, but I thought you'd like to see his winning page. :party: Thank you for all your help and support... ;)

Rhiannon and Meneken:hi:

[deadparrot]

17. Congrats!

He's a cutie...glad to hear he won! :hi:

[Rhiannon12866]

28. Thank you so much, my friend!

For your vote and for your support, as always... I believe that he deserved to win, since he's been through a lot and really is a special little guy.:D

18. This is good news!

I had considered the POTM as a bellwether for the upcoming midterms. Meneken's victory bodes well for the Dems. :)

[Rhiannon12866]

29. Thanks, nux. And I know that you were being witty, as always,

But political forecasts have been based on stranger things... ;) Meneken's win, and John Sweeney's previous nefarious activities, both bode well for the Dems, this election! Have you seen the latest Sweeney ads? Yikes! They must be running scared!:-)

[Rhiannon12866]

31. Thank you so much, Heidi!

I don't know if he would have won, if you hadn't been the first one to kick my thread about him! I really appreciate it, and Meneken sends his sincere thanks!;)
