There is an animal photo contest going on at the local television station and I submitted the photo of Bear with stitches on his eye with the caption saying something to the effect of taking Bear to Petsmart groomers and a week later he had to have his eye removed. The link for the photo contest is here. http://www.wral.com/lifestyles/pets/image_gallery/11713730/
To my surprise he got 25 votes. LOL
The irony is…guess who is sponsoring the contest?
Now what happens if Bear wins? Do I then get to tell the news his story? And do I rip up the Petsmart coupon (the prize)? LOL this is going to be interesting to see how this plays out.
They removed the link to my blog so I am not quite sure how one reader found it to make a comment but she did. I think maybe it was a reporter getting info incognito because I could not get to my blog any way through the photo. I don’t mind…the story needs to be told. I better check tomorrow to see if they paid the rest of the vet bill yet.
UPDATE: No she was not a reportr. I went to my stats and found that 48 ppl googled “petsmart made my dog lose his eye” to get to my page. WOW. I guess putting his photo in the contest was a good idea.

I went to vote and can not figure how to do it. DOH on me. Can you direct a voting dummy how to do it??
I was thinking a person could just google for Bear and petsmart and find your blog. AND for sure. From my end there are many many links to your blog about Bear.

I was tempted by the giant black cat, but Bear got my vote. Or, at least I think he did. It wasn’t really clear. I just gave him a 5-star rating, is that considered voting? He had 35 votes as of 3:30. I will vote on my iPhone and Paul’s computer too.
I shared the link through my facebook page, and Paul’s as well… although no one re-posted it despite my asking them to. Facebook is weird. 20 people will “like” when I change my photo, but if I post a link to my blog or a video or something, only my best friend will comment…
Oh, now I read the comments. I guess I did vote… duh.
SO glad people are searching about Bear and reading your blog. Important for people to know Petsmart’s poor treatment and lack of follow-up care.

Thank you for your support. One thing I do know for sure is people will hear Bears story if I have anything to do with it. That photo I posted of him is equivalent to a poor starving poster kid or something LOL.
