Dasher Is A Star! UPDATE post 17

[dukedogsmom]

I had entered his photo in a contest at Rubberhedgehog (www.rubberhedgehog.com) and he was one of the first prize winners. They had 11! They were only going to have half of that originally but they liked so many photos and stories that they chose 11. I'm so proud of my boy. He's come a long way. Now others will be able to order him as a rubber stamp. They've got lots of great animal stamps there. If you're a crafter, you need to visit.

Quote from Email:

They made a smaller adoption one (http://www.rubberhedgehog.com/images/G790.jpg) that I wasn't expecting. I put that one on the inside of my Christmas cards. So proud of my boy.

Aww, I missed this thread originally. Dasher is so handsome. And his story is truly amazing. :D As I said in his Gotcha Day thread, it's one of the first stories I read when I joined. And it's one of the ones that made me love this site. :)

[Daisy and Delilah]

That is super, Val!!! I'm so happy for you and Dasher!!!:)

Yippee Yahoo-ey!

Dasher, Val, I am SO happy that they recognized a winner. Hey, that smile has always been a winner with me! Great job, both of you. Gosh Val, doesn't it make you feel all warm inside, knowing how they recognized Dasher and made that special adoption stamp of him? You must have been ecstatic when you opened the envelope / box / package and saw the extra stamp!

The orange bandanna looks smashing on him, such a sharp distinguished fella!
