Prize Update:
In addition to the Mimobot designer USB Flash Drive we have another set of prizes to announce. Every pet owner who entered a poem in time to participate in the contest will receive a sample of Taste of the Wild dog or cat food. And dog owners will also get samples Bright Bites, which help keep canine teeth healthy.
___________________________
Let the voting begin! Eleven poets have submitted haiku poems with the theme of adopting puppies from shelters. The goal of the contest is to encourage people who want puppies to consider adopting them from shelters. For those poets who have submitted more than one haiku, we selected our favorite to be entered in the contest. We got a wonderful variety of poems from 11 people. The winner will receive a Mimobot tokidoki series designer USB flash drive.
Please listen to or read all the poems before you vote. And tell your friends to check out the poems and pick their favorite! Note that if people try to vote from the same computer network, that may not work, so if that happens, try voting from home.
The voting goes until 5PM Eastern, Wednesday, May 21. The winner will be announced during Jonny’s Par-tay, Weds, May 21, 9-10PM.
And if you want to find a puppy at a shelter near you, dial 1-800-save-a-pet, or go here.

Update: Puppy Loving Stragglers:
A couple of folks sent in haikus after the deadline. They are too late for the competition, but we still wanted to link to them.
