Man, how can this not be the greatest contest ever? I know I'm biased and all...but still. No one has EVER had a contest like this...yes, the prize is the same as many contests, but that's because you have to go that big to attract contestants.
Go to the site at http://www.dogsdeservebetter.org/chainoff2006pa.html to 'meet' the contestants. We have 8 from PA, and 1 from New York, Florida, Illinois, Michigan, and South Carolina. We're also holding a People's Choice Award Winner, who will win a $200 gift certificate to the online store of their choice...whoever gets the most votes will win the award. Each vote is $1, as we're a nonprofit and we need to fundraise, but hey, what's $1 to vote for someone, AND it goes for a good cause too!
So mosey on over and take a look. I also will be chained for 3 days, independently of the contest. So far I'm so busy I haven't had time to stress about that, but I'm sure it won't be fun. The last two years when I did 33 hours, it really stunk...now I'm more than doubling that, don't know what I was thinking!
I took Connie's advice and got Yoga Booty Ballet...and they sent extra dvd's too. So I'm making sure I exercise every day now, and taking time for ME, which I've seriously neglected the last few years, and it shows. Trying to build the org really took over my life, and I need to realize that if I don't take care of myself, I will either self-destruct or be too unhappy to even run the org effectively, so it must be done! And I feel better already...thanks, Connie.

Quick Chain Off Update
We're two weeks from Chain Off! To read all about it, ready earlier blog entries.
Quick Update:
Adrian Zmed, officer Romano from TJ Hooker, will be there July 1st, 12:00 noon to 2:30 pm. He is still hot!
Cheryl Hill, and her band from Nashville, TN, will be headlining at 8:00 p.m. that night.
We have 12 contestants right now...two dropped out so far, one because she couldn't smoke...hey, the dogs don't get to smoke, do they? Still room for three contestants. They will be up on the site by Monday, fingers crossed! Check them out at http://www.chainoff2006.html then.
Gotta run, and stop goofing off!

Dude, we Did IT! Come to Chain Off 2006
We GO! We ROCK! We are SO DARN COOL! (Don't want to swear...but I know, that doesn't sound very cool!) Well, we did it. We didn't quite get to $30,000 in 30 Days, but we got to $20,000, and will continue fundraising for the rest all month.
The most important thing is that WE ARE HOLDING SUCH A FREAKIN' AWESOME CONTEST! 15 People will live CHAINED TO DOGHOUSES for a period of up to 2 weeks. The person who stays chained the longest will win a NEW CAR!
You are all invited to attend. It's at Leidy Park in Mundy's Corner, PA, about 1-1/2 hours east of Pittsburgh, near Ebensburg, PA. Check the site at http://www.dogsdeservebetter.org/chainoff2006pa.html.
I must say that I'm really proud of us, and I give Rocky a lot of credit for the idea and for all the help he's given. We'll have bands (if you want to play, please call me asap at 814.941.7447), and vendors (see the site to apply...nonprofits are FREE!)
It should be a really cool time, and hopefully raise a ton of awareness for these chained and penned dogs...I'll be chained myself for 72 hours, without competing for the car of course. I hope someone outlasts me at least!
