*For personal reasons, I have chosen not to link to this particular blog – though I do appreciate the snark that went into this answer. A quick google search should come up with the results for you if you are interested.
I missed the fun (so what is new?). Congrats to the winners.

Oh no!!! No, no, no! I missed it! eck! I was so looking forward to doing this hunt too!
I don’t know why but I thought the deadline was next week! Darn it!
Oh well, I loved reading who everyone choose!
This was a great idea Kristine and I hope next year I won’t be so absent minded:)

Congratulations to the winners! This is a great list of links and such a good idea, Kristine. Perhaps it should be a new blogiversary tradition … each of us could do it on our blogiversary!

Haha! I am so glad you had fun! I am not sure if I will do it again – it was a lot more work than I expected. Though, that seems to be how I roll.
Thanks again for participating! It made the day very special.
Ack! I meant to do it and forgot… darn. So fun though – I’ll have to check out the blogs you posted.

Thanks for participating! You came up with some pretty cool answers. I love finding new blogs. It’s like opening a brand new book.
Congratulations! I will try to contact you today about picking out your t-shirt!
This was so much fun. Thanks for hosting.
But I had no idea our scavenges were going to be public. I wouldn’t have linked to Cesar’s blog either. And I’m a little worried that Edie won’t like me anymore for saying Frankie had a funny hair do.
What worries me even more, though, is that someone out there wants to adopt Honey. Should I put a lock on the gate? Or maybe just publish some stories about what a horrible dog she is?
Pamela recently posted..The Puppiness Project – Fun Builds Confidence
Well, Edie wouldn’t have known it was you until now… I think she will be honoured. Frankie’s hair-cut may be funny, but it is also awfully cute.
I am not sure if I would be violating confidentiality if I told you who said they wanted Honey. But I don’t think you have to be afraid. She would have been one of my choices for that category too.
Ok I am pretty sure I know who wants Tori (but you linked us to a different blog
) Tell Desmond’s mom she is all mine
Stop on by for a visit

My sincerest apologies! It has been fixed now. I guess a mistake or two was bound to happen after all that linking. Thank you so much for pointing it out!
Has Desmond’s mom been sending love letters to Tori? Not that I will confirm or deny your guess.
LOL!!
OH for WOOF SAKES! I even did the hunt and then forgot to send it to you? Way to be, me. I am so sorry I missed it. Oh well, I still had the fun of the scavenger hunt. You always have the coolest event ideas… Any great idea’s for Kol’s Birthday Bash this year? LOL.
