“Hi reader people — Iggy here! You know that photo contest Karen and I have mentioned before? Well, it’s still going on. You can vote every day through October 21st. Karen looked at the vote count and thinks we might have a decent shot at making it to the finals!”
Well, I’m not entirely sure, but so far it’s going okay.
“Yay! So please click here to vote for me.”
Yes, Iggy and I would greatly appreciate it. The link will take you straight to Iggy’s picture — just click the “vote” button and you’re done.
“Yes! Vote for me! Otherwise, so help me, I’ll pee on everything you hold dear!”
Iggy!
“What! I want to be persuasive.”
Persuasive is fine. Threatening is not. Readers, I promise, Iggy won’t pee on any of your belongings.
“Just a little bit?”
No.
“Fine. Please vote for me, reader people, despite the fact that there will be no repercussions if you don’t.”
Much better, Iggy.
The Iggy Dialogues 
Do you know how you are doing? Can’t believe how many submissions there are! Paws crossed, Iggy.
P.S. I think threats are fine… don’t travel much do ya? 😉
Hugs, Carrie and Pups x
I can only tell when I cast my own vote — so I know how we were doing early this morning, but won’t know any more until tomorrow. And the only way to know how others are doing is to vote for them, which kind of defeats the purpose of entering my own dog in the contest.
Iggy won’t be issuing threats again — I reminded him that I’m the only one who knows how to open the crate door.
Voted. Iggy reminds me very much of my family’s long-ago miniature schnauzer, who even persuaded my small-dog-averse father that she was indispensable.

Thanks! And yeah, mini schnauzers have a way of doing that, don’t they?
They do. Ours won over a collie partisan. She’s the only dog I’ve ever known I would swear had a true sense of humor.
I’ve been wondering how Elwood and company have reacted to Iggy’s captivity. Lots of taunting and gloating, or studied indifference?
Iggy’s on a separate floor of the house, so he and the cats haven’t seen each other since he has his injections. Should be quite a reunion in a couple if weeks.
Done and done…voting each day for you pal…from the fur-brood at our house (Archie, Ted, and Bogey)
Thank you!
I voted, good luck, hope you will win ( and if you pee on the things of my staff, that’s ok, I do that too)
Don’t encourage him. 🙂
