We celebrated Greta's birthday over the weekend. She's 6. She has a few more wrinkles under her eyes, is getting a double chin and is set in her ways. But she got an awesome new ball for her birthday. In the interest of full disclosure, we didn't buy it for her. We don't buy the dogs a lot of toys because they generally end up destroyed or eaten. But in my search yesterday under the couch for Cassie's toy that has survived months of knawing, I found a pink rubber ball. We've never seen it before, so it must be Sophie's ball. Sophie is the dog I kept a few weeks ago for our friend Josh.

But now it's Greta's. She spent hours trying to destroy it yesterday, with no luck. She grew so attached to this ball that when the dogs went outside to use the bathroom, she kept the ball in her mouth. I've never seen such devotion. So in honor Greta's birthday, let's continue voting for her in the Cutest Dog Competition, which continues until Oct. 24. Each week, a winner receives $500.

As always, she continues to beat out Fox 8 reporter Roxanna Haynes' miniature schnauzer Layla in the votes every week. That's only one aspect of this competition though. If Greta (or Layla) were to win in week of the competition, we will donate the cash prize to the Guilford County Animal Shelter.
