And The Winner Is. . . . .

Do you remember this video of Mister Higgins after his first bath?

Well, way back at Christmas time the Duchess entered the video in a contest

at Koko's Pet Spa online, for the Best Bath Zoomie Award.

Guess who won?

Yep. Our own Mister Higgins.




The contest ran until mid January

and these prize things take awhile, you know.

But the prizes came and look at all this stuff!

Higgins was quite excited about it all.



He got a new toy, some yummy treats,
and a "Barnyard Friends Hooded Towel".


He wasn't too keen on the hooded towel . . .




So, being the gracious Queen, I offered to model it for you.



Also in the prize package was this really fancy


hand-held shower. I have never seen anything like it.


It has a cartridge inside of it that has vitamin C in it.


That is fabulously good for your skin you know!









We were all pretty excited until we realized that all this bath stuff meant
BATH TIME!!!


Higgins tried to escape!


But of course, the manly Duke caught him
and promptly deposited him in the doggie bathtub.


Check out that new shower head! The Duke loved it,
but Higgins - not so much :)

I thought the whole thing was pretty awesome
until I found out that I was next!!!



That is just not fair! When I said he had to share
I was talking about the treats, not the shower!!!
What's a girl to do?


Anyway, we both ended up a soft and sweet smelling ball of fluff.



But there is more -
As part of the prize, the generous people at Koko's Pet Spa included
a check for $100.00 payable to the winners favorite
shelter or rescue. Since Mister Higgins came from I.D.A.W.G.
( that means Idaho Domestic Animal Welfare Group)
he knew right away that the money should go to them.
They were so VERY happy when they got the donation.
Isn't that just neat? We thought so :)



Kisses,

  14. Wow! Congratulations Mr. Higgins! That was such a cute video. I laughed so hard!! Is there anything sillier than a dog just out of the tub? I think not.

  18. Wow! Who knew that shennanigans could get a prize. Shenanigans .... that is what Gramma calls it when Oscar and I chase each after our bath. Emmy actually likes her bath and get this .... she likes that thing that Gramma dries her own hair with! I hope that Mr. Higgins was a gentleman with those snacks!

  19. Oh my goodness, on one hand, I can't stop giggling and laughing! That is the cutest video of Mr. Higgins! Have NEVER seen a dog react like that apres-bathie before - amazing and not surprised at all that your movie won! What awesome loot! Emma, you look pawsitively adorable in the bathie towel - good girl for modeling it! And the shower set sounds great! Mostly, how wonderful that you gave your generous $$$ winnings to such a great shelter - we know they must have loved it!

  21. Congratulations on the win (and great video), but we really don't want to win anything where the grand prize is a bath. Just saying.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Congrats!!!!!!! Wow, what loot. But, it's pretty funny that the pups suddenly realized that it meant that it was bath time. Woo woo. Poor pups - but at least they got that wonderful handheld shower rinsing them with warm water. That's sweet!
