^I locked you in earlier on the page. You don't need to say your ducky amount again once you've been locked in.

 

 

And Big Mike, that looks amazing. I loved going to Coney Island on the NE trip last year and eating at Nathans. But to see the 4th of july competition up close had to be awesome.

I stumbled onto the Hot Dog eating contest when it was televised when I was in the states. It's certainly one of the most bizarre things I've stumbled across, a line of people gorging themselves silly. People talk about Japan being weird, but this really takes the cake (or hot dog bun).

 

I know there are eating contests all over, is Nathans the biggest or just the most famous of them?

Happy Birthday Lucky! I hope you have a wonderful 9th birthday and that you're spoiled with lots of extra doggie treats or even a little bit of cheesecake.

 

And Zoe, is absolutely adorable. My parents have a mutt, and even though their mutt's hair color is light, Frankie's hair has the same texture and wiryness to it.

 

Thanks for showing us the pups!

Loving all the posts this week, Big Mike! And being a dog lover myself, my favorite has definitely been Lucky Dog's B-Day Post!

 

Happy Birthday Lucky Dog!!! xoxoxoxoxo

 

 

That blue and white ducky is giving me trouble... I'm going to study the photos for a couple more hours before putting my guess in.

It looked for a long time that no one was going to win this week, but Aronsania nailed it with 7 and everyone else followed! Hats off to Aronsania who only has 6 total posts to all of TPR, but 4 of those 6 were winning Find the Ducky Guesses!

 

Thanks for the shout out Big Mike! I was honored to be the first of the Find the Ducky winners last week, and am flattered that everyone decided to wait for me to post before posting the correct ducky answer

 

5 duckies for this week!
