BTTT for quick referal.

[Ditter]

Hairy has a pretty good lead 958 to 787. Thank you all for your help! Go Hairy Go!

[freekitty]

Everyone vote for Hairy.

[Ditter]

Thanks for your interest! Hairy has 962 votes to Wilson's 767. Wilsons votes have not jumped up 50 to 75 votes in 15 to 30 minutes since you sent that email to the magazine. I can't thank you enough for doing that.

Hello, this is Wilson’s mom. The email that your friend sent has had nothing to do with Wilson’s drop in votes. In fact, we have received no communication from the magazine. We have been following your posts since the competition started. Our votes have come from Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and school announcements. One night, I came home to a surge in votes for Wilson. My sons had read your feed about deleting cookies and tried it out. They were given a strong lecture on cheating and forbidden to vote. We have essentially dropped out. I do not condone cheating and didn’t want to promote it in my children. Hairy has an honorable job and deserves a break. I am disappointed that the competition turned out this way. My daughter wrote the initial article, and just wanted to see how far her best friend could get in the competition.

They did a heck of a job as I have never seen a poll populated by two people that fast.

Come on Hairy, just ten minutes to go, yea Hairy!!!

Hairy 1006.

Runner up 788.

[Ditter]

Hairy won! Thanks to you all! They said it would be Jan 6 before he is declared the winner!

My next door neighbor is a Brit and his wife is French, they have lived everywhere and worked all over the world. They spread the word by email about Hairy and our boy is an international winner!

He got votes from Singapore to Nigeria to Abu Dabi to Canada to Italy and of course London and Paris. My neighbor forwarded some of the comments to me and they were as excited by Hairys contest as you all were and I am very grateful.

Congratulations!

[trisham]

Congratulations! Hairy is adorable!

[afraidfortherepublic]

Congratulations! (Wilson sounds like a soreloserman!) He should learn to NEVER go up against FRee Republic ping gwar.

[Ditter]

I think Wilson is very young. He will be a champ when he is older, I am sure.

BTW I ran across my old Sore/Loserman sign from way back then. It brought a huge smile to my face! :D

[Ditter]

Thank you both. Sunday Hairy will resume his therapy work at a local convalescent home. He will get lots of attention. :)

[trisham]

He looks like a sweetheart. :)
