Shining Bright, by Gary Brown

Gary won 5 tickets to the 2007 Chinese New Year Treasure Hunt!

Runners-up honors go to Kathy Mikulis from Lost and Hound for a great pair of (unintentional?) Before & After candids, "They Don't Call it Year of the Dog for Nothing!" and "I Can't Believe We Finished...". Note the cheerful, peppy "Before" vs. the sweaty, bedraggled "After". Kathy wins 2 tickets for next year's Hunt!

The Dogged Trivia Quiz

We have a winner!

Cathryn Gatcum was the first person to send in all 15 correct answers at 7:56 p.m., February 10th. Yes, that's less than an hour after the contest started! Congratulations, Cathryn, you're Top Dog - not a bad way to start the year.

Cathryn will receive a bottle of champagne (to be awarded at the treasure hunt), one free ticket to the 2007 hunt and, of course, the accolades of the assembled throngs. As she well deserves.

For the rest of you: the correct answers to the Quiz (and yes, many of you got them).
