Martha's Vineyard

Dog of the Month and a Half 2008

A winner's been declared! Despite some canine controversy, the rightful Dog of the Month owner will be awarded the prize. The half month pooch may surprise some. The two front-running dog owners have worked things out amicably and there will be two dogs on our show on Sunday. Stay tuned as the Dog of the Month drama unfolds. Who will be crowned the winner? - watch Plum TV on Sunday at 8, 3 and 8 on channel 76. A real life drama inside the high powered world of poochy politics unfolds live - ONLY ON PLUM!

To enter your best friend, simply submit his or her most flattering photo (one per pup please) through our website (just beneath the slideshow on our Home Page) or through e-mail to mvphotos@plum.com, and feel free to add any description or comments about your doggy. Deadline for entrants is Monday, July 20. You can also bring him/her down to the set of the MorningNoon&Night Show (8 a.m.-10 a.m. Saturday & Sunday at the Black Dog wharf) Each MorningNoon&Night Show for the month of July we will feature contestants in bathing suit, evening gown and talent segments (just kidding, but a neat trick could be the clincher) The audience can then vote for their favorites. First prize is a gift basket (value $250) of doggy goodies from Campbell and Douglas in West Tisbury. The winner will be announced on the MorningNoonandNight show on Sunday, Aug. 3. Hopefully the top dog will be on hand to claim the prize. This show is live at 8am and will replay at 3pm and 8pm. You love your dog, Plum loves your dog, now the whole island can give your pooch the recognition he/she deserves.

For the record.... Bailey is

For the record.... Bailey is the true "Dog of the Month". Before the rules were changed to extend the contest he was the clear winner. Friends, family, co-workers and friends of friends all were so excited to vote for Bailey.I have so many great e mails from his fans. It now seems that someone has figured out a way to add hundreds of votes in just an hour.Have fun stealing what is not yours Fenway!

What a great group of dogs!

What a great group of dogs! I have to say that in this weather Fenway and Ozzie are the smartest ones in the bunch: they know how to beat the heat.

I belong to Fellow Traveller, aka Travvy, who's grown a bit since I took that photo. At the vet's today he weighed in at 49.8 pounds. Yikes.

P.S. Ever since Peter posted the comment above, I've been dying of curiosity: whose precious face were you talking about??

Great pictures

this is my vote for fenway

Hi Noreen-- Fenway didn't

Hi Noreen--

Fenway didn't steal votes. We simply asked our vast network of canine friends to paw out votes for him. I know Bailey is a formidable opponent and should Fenway win, he certainly will acknowledge Bailey, share in some of his swag and treat Bailey like a true doggie friend.

We look forward to meeting you. We're not sure at all who won, but I think Fenway and Bailey will be the top choices.

Fenway's message to Bailey: forget about the contest.....let's plan to run around and play bitey face. All in good fun!

Pam,You are correct- I am

Pam,You are correct- I am sure that Bailey and Fenway would have a great time together!I know Fenway is a champ and I am sure very deserving of all his success.
I think ALL of the dogs featured were adorable and potential winners. I do apoligize for my comment to Fenway.

We're votin' for Fenway

We're votin' for Fenway here...weren't sure where we were supposed to vote!!!!!!!

My vote is most definitely

My vote is most definitely for Fenway!!
(although all the pics are very good)

While Bailey is a cutie I

While Bailey is a cutie I have a soft spot in my heart for border collies thus my vote goes to the handsome FENWAY. I don't know Fenway personally but knowing Border Collies I am sure he is obsessing over catching a ball or a frisbee to worry about "stealing" votes. Seriously people.

Noreen, sorry to hear that

Noreen, sorry to hear that your dog did not win but I guess this is just how it goes! Fenway sure deserved it because he has the talent. I know that for sure because I know him.

Let the dogs do the whining.

Let the dogs do the whining. Fennie won fair and square because a lot of his friends finally heard about the contest. I really have a problem with anyone being called a thief, so lighten up—it's supposed to have been "all in good fun". This is the Vineyard after all, not Florida circa 2000.

How can a dog named Fenway

How can a dog named Fenway (AKC Tartan Bay Green Monster) lose in Massachusetts?

There was no stealing of

There was no stealing of votes here, just the support of Dogs With Blogs! Go Fenway!!!

Pedro the Chihuahua

I think all of the pictures

I think all of the pictures are ADORABLE!!! I love Amos though...he's like a little teddy bear!!! I vote Amos.

My votes for Fenway. I have

My votes for Fenway. I have a cousin who is part Border Collie so I'm little partial. All the pups are very cute. I think they all would have a great time frolicking on the beach's on MV.

I will be watching to see

I will be watching to see who the winner is but the last I saw before the voting was shut down was that Bailey had over 500 votes and Fenway was second. They are all great looking dogs and lucky to have such devoted friends. I know Bailey and I have to let everyone know that he really is a special dog- extremely smart and gives real hugs!

Fenway, you would have won

Fenway, you would have won if you have announced about being in this earlier. I am sure everypup from DWB would have rendered you their support. Try again the next time and tell us early. ok?

Hugs
