Mango Minster Entry - Moi, Avalon...

Esteemed Judges: it probably wouldn't surprise you to find that I'm also a "shameless dog" with a side of "diva." (Oh and yes... a bit of "bad sports" thrown in... it's completely Sammie's fault, but I wouldn't want to cheat by entering two categories...) But let's start off in a laid-back manner here; when all is said and done, I totally lack any modesty, due to the pride I take in my body. ("Sammie, stop with the commodious grin.")

Below: to prove that I could be the "greatest" at track(ing), I present the photo below for your consideration. Naaw... that ain't a stick I'm stalkin'! ("Shut up Sammie! I didn't interrupt YOU when you were working on YOUR Mango submission!")

The pitchur below is a little furry, but a great example of the "diva" part of moi. Despite my attire consisting of a cone, I am adorable in it, aren't I?

And speakin' of costumes, Mom squeezed this horrific princess thing on me for Halloween and forced me to pose in it. Think that's who I wanted to be? No! I wanted to be Darth Vader, so I made Mamma buy a new outfit. (Jeers from the Peanut Gallery, where Sammie has amassed a bunch of hecklers...) Sheesh...

I have actually been accused of brazeness - can you imagine? And that's not all. Momma has witnessed my impudence more than once; I have no shame on this account. Below, you can see me jumping gleefully all over my obedience instructor. I was simply glad to see her - anything wrong with that?

And finally, I apparently have a total lack of regard for others' rights or feelings BOL! If I were a locomotive, I'd run right over all my pals in an effort to usurp their possessions. ("Sammie, I said shut up! You're not so golden yurself!")

So above, I managed to get a hold of the stick Sammie was gnawing on furever. Right proud of myself too - she was protecting it pretty good!

Then I got really cheeky! Above, look at that... now THERE'S a coup!

Then, I even managed to hijack her snowball - oh yeah, Sammie wanted it back, but I am fasssssssst! (Hey! I think I finally shut down the Peanut Gallery!) Now... to prove to you that I've never had any shame whatsoever for others' property, I present this movie of me literally taking the prize! And at such a tender age!



Like Sammie said, except it's about me: "Dontcha think I'm a worthy shameless doggeh?"

Well aren't you the sassy one, Ms. Avalon?? Must go hand-in-hand (well, paw-in-paw) with being a little sister. I have to put up with much of the same from Carmen, my sympathies to Samantha BOL!

Avalon, we thinks you have a very nice body to show off, so we don't blame you for being shameless. Nice entry.

KB said...

You are *so* shameless. What a great series of photos/videos, especially the one in the snow where you'd just stolen the stick!

Thor said...

We are impressed with your diva-ness. Extra points for the inverted Cone of Shame: what a fashion statement! And who but a diva retriever would run AWAY with the duck: what is the opposite of "retriever"? Besides thief, of course. We notice that in all your photos, you are continually in the lead, being followed closely by your sissy - a sure sign of diva-ness. Compelling presentation! Good luck!
