Congratulations to Sarah Sossoman, who had the winning entry in the caption contest: ““Please excuse my friend. He just got fixed and talking about nuts gets him really worked up.” Nice job, Sarah! You’ll get a free signed copy of my book of dog cartoons, “Squirrel! Bacon! Ball! And Other Distractions” https://tinyurl.com/dogcartoonbook
Trish Harmon got the most likes for her caption: “Please excuse my friend, Rusty. He’s been in therapy for impulse control and your presence has him a little wound up.” For getting the most likes and for being fast with a strong entry, Trish will get a few free greeting cards.
There were a lot of funny entries, the most popular theme being “nuts” (missing nuts, lost nuts, the guy who took your nuts) followed by “chasing” (chaser, ordering a chaser, a mean chaser).
Here are some Honorable Mentions. Thanks for participating!
