Cinco de Puppy Giveaway Winner Posted!!!

Avarel · May 4, 2002 3:57AM

A very scientific drawing was held to determine the winner. Each name was placed in a plastic bowl, swirled around and tossed around a sitting (and curious) Polgara. She sniffed and snuffled and grabbed one and attempted her mad dash out of the living room. She was summarily caught and the name removed when switched with a treat.

BSTAT1020 Polgara has picked you!

PM me your address and her birthday present is yours!

To everyone else, thanks for entering the Cinco de Puppy Giveaway. We'll do another this time next year!

Polgara & Cary

Given that I toss my hat into most giveaways, its only fair I giveaway as well.

My daughter if you will turns 1 year this weekend!!! She proves rather emphatically that I am not ready for real children on a daily basis; I'll continued to admire them from afar as I deal with the ever changing world of dug holes, chewed tree branches, the incessant barking, and the nightly battles between her and the two cats.

So just tag below your interest and you get Polgara's birthday present.

Pol is giving away the following (all in 2x2 holders)

1960 Proof Nickel - Brillant proof with a stellar gold toning
1925 Circ Buff - neat metallic toning of reds and blues on the reverse
1895 1/12th Anna - Beautiful coin AU, but I nabbed it for the 1/4 Anna collection by mistake
1954 Denmark 10 Ore - A source of a running 'debate' between the fiancee and I. I swear it has very light rainbow toning, she thinks I'm cracked. Whoever wins, let me know your opinion!
1917 Silver 5 cent Canadian Circ - Nice light metallic red toning.
1907 Silver 5 Cent Canadian Circ - Dark toning
1936 British West Africa 1/2 Penny - Beautiful BU, Nice Strike
1971 Netherlands Antilles Cent - Dark Purple Toning on this one.

Drawing will be Tuesday Night. Good Luck!

Her she is at two months. Now she's a year old and some 70 pounds of pure puppy. You can see the mischief in those 1/2 Lab 1/2 retriever.

My beloved My Sweet Pea!

Please enter me in Polgara's very nice birthday give away.

She looks like a bundle of pure mischief, much like my own 3 year old black male lab. My 9 year old yellow male lab is real calm, considering he can't walk right now.

Dear Avarel Plesae enter my name to.

My Black Lab/Retrever (5 years old 105lbs) Crickett would have entered but she is to tired to get off the couch.

Enter me please.

Thanks, Brian.

bstat1020 · May 5, 2002 9:35AM

Throw me into the hat. Thanks Brian

raredeal · May 5, 2002 9:39PM

Count me in!

Man, I can't wait to get another dog. We had a 1/2 black lab - 1/2 golden for about 15 years, but had to put her to sleep a couple years ago. Best dog I've ever been around. Intelligent, trained easy, very gentle with kids, but very nasty if anyone or anything threatened us.

Here's my top 5 choices:
West Africa 1/2 penny
1/12 Anna
Circ Buff
Netherlands
Denmark 10 Ore

Thanks again!

madeddie · May 5, 2002 10:20PM

Oh, I forgot...In tagging my interest, I really like the Buff....Thanks again!

muchogrande · May 5, 2002 10:46PM

Please count me in.

I assume that Polgara is a reference to "The Belgariad" by David Eddings???

Avarel · May 5, 2002 11:13PM

Very much so! She is completely black except for a single tiny patch of white on the edge of her chin. Since I'm a huge Eddings fan, it seemed so appropriate.

I'm closing this at 7pm on Tuesday, drawing shortly thereafter. Winner gets the entire shotgun package - not sure if that wasn't clear.

moursund · May 6, 2002 12:50AM

Sounds like a nice trove. Deal me in!
