This yeaw's exciting contest has now been launched! Click here to be magically twanspawted to the official Mango Minstew blog for 2010!



Hewe is the Mango Minstew descwiption the gwoups - you decide which categowy you awe in: Mango Minstew Gwoups

Forget that AKC crap, here are the proper categories;

Cat Dogs - Some doggies are, well, CATS. Right? So if you are a cat which is actually not a dog, never fear, you can enter here (hey, that's like a poem).

Hound Dogs - Do you bay at the moon? Become deaf when your snooter is engaged? Run fast on long legs? This is your category. (we would add even short legs!)

Herding Dogs - All you guys and gals who love to round things up enter here (yes, even Border Collie dogs which are not actual doggies, but alien beings from the planet Agility).

Sporty Dogs - If you do a sport or are basically a good sport about life, then you are a Sporty Dog.

Non-Sporty Dogs - Bad dog! Bad dog! Grouchy? Sore loser? You know who you are.

Hard Working Dogs - Have a job? This one is for you.

Cracker Dog Insane Terriers (CDIT) - Let's face it, first of all, we are Relentlessly Huge terrier fans here at the estate. Plus there just is nothing like a terrier. Show us what you got.

Now we know hounds are an unassuming modest group - just look at us! But now is not the time to be modest - get your pics put forward now!
Don't forget to send in your photos to backupdogATcomcastDOTnet including

Can't tell you how excited Mica is that there is now a cat-egory for Catdogs. Do you think he could win a Lifetime Achievement Award like they give the really old actors at the Academy Awards? I'm down here training, getting my hair extra-scruffy with a bit of sea spray!

Your pal,

Petey

Hi Asta,

Happy New Year!

Sorry I have not been visiting for ages - we have been really busy doing the "moving overseas" thing and then settling in in Brisbane...

Anyway, hope you had a great time over the holiday season! And ooh, I'm so excited about Mango Minster - I missed it last year as I had not gotten to know Mango yet - so I'm so happy to be able to participate this year!

Slobbers,
Honey the Great Dane

Good luck with your new appointment, Your Honor.

Luv your header!

Hi Asta

BIG SMOOCHIE KISSIES,
TULA

Scruffy, Lacie and Stanley's Place said...

Do you need any more of those stinky fishie egg thingies ya put on crackers?? Let me know...

Kisses, Laciegirlie

Joe Stains said...

I am not judging this year so I can totally enter, I am so excited! Tanner entered too.

Eric said...

Asta Sweetie pea! It's wagging to see you safe and back home from Pencil Vania. I was worried you might go to Transyl Vania to visit Lacie. Looks like you had a wicked time with your Uncle Peter. Daddy looks cute in his sailor outfit.

Perhaps you could dye that old grey wig Mango gave you? To match Uncle Peter and Duffy red locks. Would be most becoming to your fair foxy face.

Wiry love n kisses Eric xxx

ScrapsofMe said...

Hi Asta! You look so official in yer robes yer Honor. You sure about that BWIBE thingy?? I was just thinking I could send you a nice single malt to keep you company in yer chambers. All the best judges drink Scotch after all. Think about it...get back with me later. I won't tell.
sniffies,
Bonnie

TwoSpecialWires said...

Asta Sissie. We are so proud that our sissie has such an honorable position as Judge for Best in Show. ( Will you have your own TV show someday? Judge Foxy?) We know that you will uphold the position and be a fair and honest magistrate.

We will probably not enter the contest, feeling it inappropriate because our sweet sissie has the important position that she does. Besides. We don't know what category we'd fit in. We are certainly not CDITs. And no one would believe that Fergi would qualify as a herding dog. (I know it to be true, as she pushes me along on our walkies. But Moma has never been able to capture it on film, let alone videotape.) So. If you need to consult us from the sidelines (we can bring you treats and smoothies) we'd be honored.

Love
Your (hooman sissie-less once again) bruvver and sissie, Jake and Fergi

Deb Cushman said...

That looks like a great contest. They should have a Bunny Dog category =;-)

Princess Patches said...

Hi Asta! We entered this morning! We hope your weather has warmed up at least a little. It was 17 here this morning. NOT funny!

Aire-hugs,
Poppy, Penny & Patches

Jans Funny Farm said...

We recognized Buddy's group right away. The hound. Nose to ground, in a world of his own.

Sounds like you'll be very busy, as usual. Have a fun time.
