IS YOUR POOCH A MOOCH?

Some dogs are expert beggars, and we’re looking for the funniest and most unique pooch mooch in our area. Does your dog have a special technique to get you to share your food? Tell us your dog’s story (in 100 words or less) and you and your dog might both win some great prizes.
Winners will be announced and prizes awarded on May 6, 2006 at TAYLOR BOOK STORE on Capitol Street in Charleston. Patti Lawson will be on hand to sign copies of her own pooch mooch story about her dog, Sadie (”The Dog Diet: What My Dog Taught Me About Shedding Pounds, Licking Stress and Getting A New Leash On Life”).
Judges aren’t looking for the best writers–just the funniest or most outrageous story, so get out that pen and share your dog’s special techniques for filching food.
DEADLINE: Entries must be postmarked or emailed by April 21, 2006
Email entries to thedogdiet@aol.com. (Put POOCH MOOCH in the subject line.)
Mail entries to: POOCH MOOCH, Taylor Books, 226 Capitol Street, Charleston, WV 25301 or personally deliver to Taylor Books by April 21, 2006.
Entries may be typed or legibly handwritten. 100 WORDS OR LESS. Too many words will result in disqualification.
Decision of the Judges is final.
You must be present to win.
That’s all there is to it! So jot down the story about your ever-clever, always hungry hound, and then get ready for a fun evening at TAYLOR BOOKS on
MAY 6, 2006 at 6:30 p.m.
(I’m one of the judges for this.)
