My RB Rascal was COTD last October 17th. I submitted her nomination probably about 6 months prior to that. I was checking every day, and no COTD. I was getting disappointed. I have since come to realize that Karen probably gets TONS of nominations so it's just a matter of being patient. Anyhow because I was getting discouraged, I stopped checking about a month earlier. I checked back in November and I was flabbergasted to realize I missed it! I clicked on "Pet Talk" by accident and after browsing around I realized there was a thread for Rascal's COTD nomination so from that point on, I was hooked!

I submitted a nomination of my RB Nikki a while back, so I'm hoping she's DOTD sometime!
