Ok well if you’ve ever encountered my dog, you know it’s not quite like that. In fact it’s nothing like that.
It’s more like…
1.) Poor friendly unsuspecting neighbor approaches gate to borrow some sugar and rings bell.
2.)RAFGHFRFHGGH!!!
3.) Kim and Nick are left with zero friendly neighbors who come over to borrow sugar.
Normally we frown upon this behavior.
But yesterday, it actually paid off – literally. Dundie’s maniacal barking – 49 barks in 30 seconds to be exact – won Nick some pretty sweet prizes on a radio contest called ‘Bark for Cash’ on the Don Geronimo show. Basically people call in and get their dogs to bark as many times as possible in 30 seconds – they keep count, and the person whose dog barks the most times wins. Oh-ho-ho… moooove on over, pups… we’ve got this one in the bag. 37 barks? Pleeeeease… get outta here with your 37 barks.
So all in all, Nick won: $49 cash (a buck per bark, from Don Geronimo’s own pocket), 2 free passes to the IMAX premier of Tron in 3D, some kind of jewelry package/gift certificate (which I think is the reason Nick entered in the first place, so he would be done Christmas shopping for me…) and a 1 in 20 chance of winning a full-size Tron arcade game. (I’m not so excited about that last one. I suggested if we win, it goes out in the backyard with the dog since it was his prize, after all.)
Thanks, Dog!
