Check Out The Portrait Contest Winner!

A little while ago Sabrina and Veronica announced they were giving away a portrait by artist Kathryn Beals. I just got this in from Veronica announcing the winner and all the runners-up and honorable mentions.

Hi Joy, I said I’d bark back when I chose the winner of the portrait contest,and it’s been chosen!

Here’s the message I posted in the thread

Wow, pups, what a hard decision! So many awesome pictures– 237 to be exact!
I had such a hard time deciding that I took a page from Casey… For each of the top nine pups I assigned each pup a stuffie of Sabrina’s. Then I arranged the stuffies around the room, let Sabrina in and the one she chose is the winner.

And the winner is……

*drumroll*
