Who doesn’t love a good anecdote?
We welcome first time sponsor, artist Susan Trueper, who is the proud owner of three dogs. One of them is a breed which will remain unidentified to protect the innocent of his kind. On his first day in his new home, the chap had so many awkward but avoidable mishaps – and remained so happy – that Susan was compelled to ask: What is wrong with you?
And then it came to her, and a contest theme was born.
The challenge: In the 1950s and 60s, Shirley Polykoff, coined the phrase that put the hair brand, Clairol, on the map in a big way: Blondes have more fun. This contest challenges you to show through your dog that “blondes have more fun.” Note: Clairol promised that you don’t have to be a natural blonde to “have more fun,” and neither does your dog, but don’t do anything involving chemicals! Some breeds are already light-colored, but blondeness can be a state of mind…..also a wig, a few tendrils…. you get the idea. Keep your dog safe and happy for this contest!
The prize: Original custom painting of the winner’s dog painted from digital photo supplied by the winner
The Sponsor: Susan Trueper
